Howto get @Service instance in Spring programatically

Question

I need to implement javax.faces.convert.Converter to convert String-to-Object and Object-to-String.

To do so, I have defined specific services (@Service), but I do not know how to get an instance.

I have tried to use @Autowired and @Component to get instance, but Spring is ignoring.

Is it possible to get @Service instance from FacesContext?

It's impossible. Spring annotations are useless if it didn't configure to use them in your applications.

First You should get the application context like this

ApplicationContext ctx = FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());

Then use this context to get instance of the component.

YourService custB = (YourService )ctx.getBean("yourService");

It's certainly not impossible. Even if not the best option, I expect `@Configurable` could be made to work. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- May 17 '15 at 19:51
@chrylis I don't understand what are you saying could you elaborate it? – Roman C May 17 '15 at 20:29
