JSF 2.0 CDI + Spring 3.1 Integration, FacesContext is null at deployment time

Question

When I run my project, Spring invoke PostConstruct mehod of JSF Action Bean method at deployment time (during of spring bean creation, I think).

As I thought, there is no FacesCOntext at deployment time, I get NullPointerException at PostConstruct method.

import javax.inject.Named;  
import org.omnifaces.cdi.ViewScoped;

@Named
@ViewScoped
public class AddStudentActionBean implements Serializable {
    private Student student;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        student = (Student) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("Student");
    }

    @PreDestroy
    public void destory() {

    }
}

How can resolve it?

Answer 1

Just don't let Spring to create a bean of AddStudentActionBean class. I mean, there is no meaning of doing it. CDI container will create and manage AddStudentActionBean bean when its needed.

Generally you will like to create Service or DAO beans in Spring 's context.
