Special JSF ELResolver that exposes the Spring WebApplicationContext instance under a variable named "webApplicationContext".

In contrast to SpringBeanFacesELResolver, this ELResolver variant does not resolve JSF variable names as Spring bean names. It rather exposes Spring's root WebApplicationContext itself under a special name, and is able to resolve "webApplicationContext.mySpringManagedBusinessObject" dereferences to Spring-defined beans in that application context.

Configure this resolver in your faces-config.xml file as follows:

<application>
  ...
  <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.WebApplicationContextFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>

Retrieve the WebApplicationContext reference to expose.

The default implementation delegates to FacesContextUtils, returning null if no WebApplicationContext found.

Params:
  • elContext – the current JSF ELContext
See Also:
  • FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext
Returns:the Spring web application context
