I have a PhaseListener that I want to use provide authentication to my jsf app.
I created a PhaseListener class (with a phaseId of PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW) in
which I want it to use an AuthenticationBean that I created.
1. If I use the following, I get a NullPointer exception:
@ManagedProperty(value = "#{auth}")
private AuthenticationBean authService;
2. If I use the following, I DON'T get an exception (everything works fine):
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
AuthenticationBean authService =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getELResolver().getValue(context.getELContext(),
null, "auth");
If I can use #2 method, shouldn't I be able to use method #1?
I ALSO get a NullPointerException in my PhaseListener class if I try to use the
following:
@PersistenceUnit(unitName = "MyPU")
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
Note: Also, If I move the @PersistenceUnit code into my AuthenticationBean class
(and then obtain an instance of this object in my PhaseListener using method #2)
I also get the same NullPointerException.
Note 2: I'm using version 2.0.2-b09 of both jsf-api AND jsf-impl
Am I doing something wrong?
