290 CHAPTER 6: Component-Based Web Development Using JSF 2

Integrating JSF with Spring Framework

To integrate JSF with the Spring dependency injection framework, you have to do the following:

   Add the ContextLoaderListener and RequestContextListener listeners provided

by the Spring Framework in web.xml

   Add an el-resolver entry in faces-config.xml to point to the Spring class

SpringBeansFacesELResolver

Listing 6-18 illustrates adding ContextLoaderListener and RequestContextListener in the
web.xml file.

Listing 6-18. web.xml
