DelegatingVariableResolver vs. SpringBeanFacesELResolver

[mraible]

What's the difference between SpringBeanFacesELResolver and DelegatingVariableResolver in 2.5? I've upgraded my app to 2.5 and JSF 1.2 and I'm still using DelegatingVariableResolver successfully. What is SpringBeanFacesELResolver useful for?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi.
It is a badly documented issue in Spring 2.5 ...
Well, DelegatingVariableResolver is the way to integrate spring with JSF 1.1 by using a variable-resolver in faces-config.xml, like this:
<application>
<variable-resolver>
org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableReso lver
</variable-resolver>
</application>
But this is a deprecated method in JSF 1.2.

So, Spring 2.5 introduced a new way by using SpringBeanFacesELResolver like this:
<application>
<el-resolver>
org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELRe solver
</el-resolver>
</application>

Regards.
