In Spring 2.5 framework we can annotate classes with @Component, this automatically create a managed spring bean, this is very usefull in JSF projects when we add: <variable-resolver> org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver </variable-resolver> To faces-config.xml, we can use @Component and any spring bean in JSF pages using EL. For example @Component("myBean") @Scope("request") public void MyBean{ public String someAction(){ return "action" } } In any jsf web file we can use EL to invoke that action <h:commandButton action="#{myBean.someAction}/> Its will be very nice that in jsf files we can get a code completion for this kind of beans..
Mmmm when i said "we can use @Component and any spring bean" i mean any bean that is in the spring container, that bean could be added using the common xml.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
