RE: Injecting Java 5 Enums into a managed bean

Title: Injecting Java 5 Enums into a managed bean

A simpler solution would be to use the spring delegating variable resolver and refer directly to the spring bean instead. Afaik there is no native way to lookup java 5 enums in jsf 1.1 (or for that matter in jsf 1.2 either—without the custom el resolver).   From: Baker,Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 9 August 2006 5:53 AM To: user@shale.apache.org; users@myfaces.apache.org Subject: Injecting Java 5 Enums into a managed bean   I am trying to inject an instance of an enumeration class into one of my ViewControllers.  Spring has the capability to define a PropertyEditor so that you can pass Strings as values to beans, and the PropertyEditor will convert to the correct object, but I do not seee a way to accomplish the same thing in my faces-config.xml.  When I tried to define my ViewController in my spring applicationContext.xml file jsf couldn't find it.  I did some research and it looks like if you are using jsf 1.2 you can define a el-resolver that can use a special EnumManagedBean class to expose enumerations to your jsp, and I assume that the ELResolver would work on the faces-config file as well, but we are using myfaces with Shale, and it only implements the jsf 1.1 spec.  Is there an equivalent to the el-resolver tag in jsf 1.1?   JB This correspondence is for the named persons only.
