1. Yes my application works fine in a web container. 2. Yes, I removed the ContextLoaderListener from web.xml. 3. Yes, I have the @In (value="#searchService") specified in the searchBean. But no required=false. Is there any other configuration required? One more thing i found is this is not just with the Spring beans. Injection itself is not working when I try integration testing with JSF EL expressions. But, If i set value through a component like | SearchBean searchBean = (SearchBean) Component.getInstance("searchBean"); | | searchBean.setSearchTerm("1111"); | it works. Am I missing something here? I appreciate your help. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4095778#...
