use javax.faces.view.ViewScoped with CDI Spring bean and JSF

Question

I'm using Spring 3.1 JSF 2.2.

Annoting Bean with ViewScoped introduced by JSF 2.2 not work.

@javax.inject.Named
@javax.faces.view.ViewScoped
public class TestBean {
    @PostConstruct
    public void init(){sysout("Why spring invoke this when initializing context :-( ");}
}

In my applicationContext.xml there is an annotation component-scan tag

<context:component-scan base-package="com.test"/> 

Spring 3.1 detect and deal with CDI annotation but @javax.faces.view.ViewScoped not work. I know there is another solution by creating my own ViewScoped implementation but i want to know why @javax.faces.view.ViewScoped not work

Answer 1

最好的解决方案是删除spring并使用Java EE实现的CDI

Answer 2

You should notice that JSF annotations will nor work for Spring beans, because JSF beans located in different context.

But view scope implementation is pretty simple. I've created an artifact to solve this problem.

See my github javaplugs/spring-jsf repository.

Answer 3

javax.faces.view.ViewScoped will only work for JSF Managed Bean and not for CDI.

Use javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean annotation if you want to have a correct behavior with View scope instead of javax.inject.Named.
