server.getManagedBeanValue is null

[shuklarajesh]

We are experiencing issues when trying to get the managedbean value after successful authentication. The server.getManagedBeanValue always returns null. In the code we are using Spring framework for managing beans instead of faces-config.xml and these beans are defined as a session scope beans. This null value is displayed after the successful authentication. We can access the page as text but am unable to access the managed beans. Any suggestion, pointers ?


Sample Spring Config :
<bean id="testBean" lazy-init="true"
scope="session"
class="com.test.TestBean">
<beans:property name="testService" ref="testService" />
<aop:scoped-proxy />


And the web.xml has the the filters defined in the below link http://labs.jboss.com/jsfunit/gettingstarted.html


This is the JSFUnit testcase

WebClientSpec wcSpec = new WebClientSpec("/test.xhtml");
FormAuthenticationStrategy formAuth = new FormAuthenticationStrategy("username", "password");
formAuth.setSubmitComponent("login");
wcSpec.setInitialRequestStrategy(formAuth);
JSFSession jsfSession = new JSFSession(wcSpec);
JSFClientSession client = jsfSession.getJSFClientSession();
JSFServerSession server = jsfSession.getJSFServerSession();

assertEquals("/test.xhtml", server.getCurrentViewID());
assertTrue(client.getPageAsText().contains("Test Page"));
assertEquals("test", server.getManagedBeanValue("#{testBean.userName}"));

We always gets the null pointer when tried to access managedbean via JSFServerSession

I want to help any way I can, but I don't know much about Spring or Spring authentication. Can you try my suggestion in the other thread and report back?

If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

The authentication works fine now, but am seeing issues while trying to access the managed bean which is configured using spring.

client.click("logoutButton");

Another issues i am seeing is when i try to click the button on the navigated page, I am not seeing the page being submitted, may be i will post that in other thread

I there any way you could send me a simple test app (preferably as a Maven project)? I'd like to have something to test Spring with and then put out fixes for the next release.

If Spring is using its own scope then I might need to add special logic to access that scope. This is what I had to do for Seam. If your managed bean is in a regular scope like session scope or request scope then it should work fine. Please post details.
