1. Create the Maven Project "JSF" with
groupId: com.jsf.app
artifactId: jsf
package: war
and add following dependencies in pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</project>
2. Create the directory structure like:
jsf
-src
--main
---java
-----com
-------jsf
--------app
----------managedbean
-------------UserBean.java
----------service
-------------UserService.java
-------------impl
---------------UserServiceImpl.java
---resources
----applicationContext.xml
----log4j.xml
----messages.properties
---webapp
-----pages
-------jsfspring.xhtml
-----WEB-INF
--------faces-config.xml
--------web.xml
--test
--pom.xml
3. In web.xml file add these settings.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
<display-name>JavaServerFaces&Spring</display-name>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>

</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>

</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.expressionFactory</param-name>
<param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>pages/jsfspring.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
4.Create new JSF bean name as UserBean as shown below in com.jsf.app.managedbean package
package com.jsf.app.managedbean;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import com.jsf.app.service.UserService;
@Component("userBean")
@Scope("session")
public class UserBean {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UserBean.class
.getName());
@Autowired
@Qualifier("userService")
public UserService userService;
public String getPrintMsgFromSpring() {
logger.info("Invoking UserService");
return userService.getMessage();
}
}
5. Next create Spring Interface and Implementation in com.jsf.app.service and com.jsf.app.service.impl package respectively:
package com.jsf.app.service;
public interface UserService {
public String getMessage();
}
package com.jsf.app.service.impl;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import com.jsf.app.service.UserService;
@Service("userService")
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {
private String name = "Voila!";
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
@Override
public String getMessage() {
return "JSF - Spring Integrtion " + name;
}
}
6. Now Create Faces-Config.xml with following information in WEB-INF folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<application>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>messages</base-name>
<var>msg</var>
</resource-bundle>
<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>
</faces-config>
7. Also Create the applicationContext.xml in resources folder:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
<context:component-scan base-package="com.jsf.app.managedbean,com.jsf.app.service" />
</beans>
8. Now create the jsf page in the webapp/pages/ folder as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:body>
<h1>JSF 2.0 + Spring Example</h1>
#{userBean.printMsgFromSpring}
</h:body>
</html>
9. Finally add the Log4j.xml file for logging purpose inside the resources folder as shown in below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" >
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="Target" value="System.out" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<!-- <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p [%c] %m %n" /> -->
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p [%c] %m %n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="STDERR" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="Target" value="System.err" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p [%c] %m %n" />
</layout>
<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
<param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR" />
<param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL" />
</filter>
</appender>
<appender name="ROLLING_FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<!-- param name="File" value="c:/logs/miis30.log" /-->
<param name="File" value="jsf.log" />
<param name="Append" value="true" />
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="5120KB" />
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="STDERR" />
</root>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
10. Finally to run the application, right click the project->maven->maven clean,
again right click project->maven->maven install, this will create the war file.
Take a war file and deploy in the tomcat server and run the server as:
http://localhost:8088/jsf/pages/jsfspring.xhtml
