Spring beans in JSF components

[Ammaletu]

Hi!

Maybe a dumb question, but I figured somebody here might know the answer: I have a JSF application with Spring, Facelets and MyFaces. I'd like to write a custom JSF component now which would need to use a Spring bean. How do I inject it in the component?

As an example, I have a LinkBuilder service class which builds custom links. Rather than creating every URL I might need in my action class and storing it in a bean, I'd like to do something like this to output a link tag:

<my:link ... />

I'd probably extend the h:outputLink component here. But how do I get my service class, since the component instance is generated by JSF? Or does this simply not work?

Regards,
Johannes

Did you ever find a solution for this Ammaletu? I want to do something similar for some custom selectItems that I want to retrieve from a spring managed service.
