[Building Sakai] Injection in JSF Managed Bean

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

I would recommend against using JSF. If you are using the App builder, try Wicket or RSF. The injection code is  a lot cleaner in those cases plus the presentation layer is far superior.

cheers,
Steve

But when I looked at the applicationContext.xml , it's empty, no such bean was declared there. I deployed the tool and to my suprise, it worked fine. Can somebody tell me what happened? What kind of context that org_sakaiproject_user_api_UserDirectoryService belongs to ? is it shared across all web app? How did that context was created (I tried but still don't understand how Sakai shared components work <x_x>  )? How do I get a list of beans in that context just in case I want to inject some useful bean like SessionFactory for Hibernate.
