The jars I included are the following:
Lastly this is the piece of code where I am trying to inject:
public class StartBean implements Serializable{
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String value;
private boolean val;
private ArrayList<TestModel> list;
private TestModel tm;
private IDataFillBean bean;
private IspringBeans ispringBeans;
@PostConstruct
public void fillTable(){
setList(new ArrayList<TestModel>(0));
list = (ArrayList<TestModel>) ispringBeans.fillDatamodel();
}
}
It seems a direct injection. Am I missing anything here?
Please guide me. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Now, I removed @postConstruct annotation from the class fillTable, called fillTable from “action” of commandButton and this exception goes off, Does this mean during @postConstruct method call the spring bean still wont be injected into the properties?
I have tested with a new application with new eclipse juno having mojarra and it seem to work fine. So the problem turns out to be Myfaces.
