I haven\'t implemented any code, I\'m still working the overall architecture for a new application and this going to be the first time I use JSF+Spring.
The "glue" is the spring ELResolver, which you must configure in your faces-config.xml:
ELResolver
faces-config.xml
org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
This means that each #{bean.property} is handled by the resolving the bean in the spring context.
#{bean.property}
bean
