Can Spring bring anything to a JSF 2 environment?

[Jehan99]

Hi,

I was wondering what are the advantages, if any, of integrating Spring into a JSF 2 application? Does Spring buy us anything? Is there anything Spring can do for us which JSF does not do already?

Note I am only speaking about Spring, not Spring MVC. So instead of JSF managed beans we would have Spring beans like so...

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component("adviceInquiry")
@Scope("session")
public class AdviceInquiry

Thanks,
Jahan
