Question

I am using JSF-Spring integration, I am calling a Spring-managed request scoped bean method from the JSP using JSF <h:commandButton>. One thing I can’t understand is that the constructor of the Spring bean is called twice. Why does this happen?

Here is the Spring managed bean:

@org.springframework.stereotype.Component
@org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope("request")
public class MyAction implements java.io.Serializable {

    public MyAction(){
        System.out.println("inside request scoped bean");
    }

Here is the JSF view:

<h:commandButton value="add" action="#{MyAction.add}" />

Answer 1

I got the answer, the constructor was being called twice because of cglib proxy mechanism of Spring.
