Dots in the bean id

[Thomas Werthmüller]

Hi

We migrating an application from struts to jsf. At the moment, we use dots in the bean id's (every module has a prefix):

<bean id="usermanager.userSignUp"
      class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
      ...
</bean>

It there a way to use this id's instead of an id without dots? Is this possible in a the JSF Expression Language?

<managed-bean>
    ....
    <managed-property>
        <property-name>manager</property-name>
        <value>#{usermanager.userSignUp}</value>
    </managed-property>
</managed-bean>

Thanks
Thomas

Haven't tried this, but it shouldn't work, since the expression #{usermanager.userSignUp} is interpreted as "the property userSignUp of a bean with the id/name usermanager".

This is not an issue with jsf-spring, though, but purely jsf related.

HTH,
Thomas

It is interpreted as a property... thats the problem. I hoped there is a easy way to handle this, like #{'usermanager.userSignUp'}... :-)

It seems that we have to change every bean id name.

You could write and plug in your own EL parser, but it seems like it'd be a lot easier to just change your bean names.
