automatic scope-widening in jsf ?

[nimo22]

I have this:

@RequestScoped @Named
public class User implements Serializable{ 

private static final long serialVersionUID = ll;


}

@SessionScoped @Named
public class MyBean implements Serializable{ 

private static final long serialVersionUID = ll;


private @Inject Users u;
// getter/setter

}

You see, I inject a (request-scoped) bean into a session-scoped bean.

Now I want to reference it in JSF:

Is the lifecycle of this:

#{user}

the same as this

{myBean.user}

?

So the injected user is totally in request-scope, am I right?

[pmuir]

Yes.

[nimo22]

So in this case it does not matter which to use,
as

#{user}

is the same as

{myBean.user} 

That means: the reference it totally equal!

(Please correct me, if I am wrong.)

That means: the reference it totally equal!

It is. The point is that

{myBean.user} 

will work if User had no explicit EL-name.

But as you named User (@Named), you are able to reference it independently of myBean...
