JSF + Spring Using @Autowired in a ManagedBean ; Do we need setters and getters

Question

I am using Spring and JSF 2.0. This is how my class look like @ManagedBean(name = "userLogin", eager = true) @SessionScoped public class UserLogin

in this class I am using the following property

@Autowired
@ManagedProperty(value   = "#{userService}")
private    UserService    userService;

And this is how my userService looks like

@Service ("userService")

In a framework like struts , I can use the userService without setters and getters , as its been named as a service. Please tell how to use this without setters and getters , as I feel like its kind of a overhead.

Basically I just want to get rid of getters and setters for the userService as its a Spring bean.

Answer 1

@ManagedProperty(value = "#{userService}") probably does nothing here, since UserService is not a JSF managed bean (judging from the code in your comment). You are combining two dependency injection strategies, where you only need one (setter is required for @ManagedProperty).

If you remove @ManagedProperty and leave only @Autowired, I think it should work.
