javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException : Target Unreachable, identifier 'login' resolved to null Spring + JSF

Question

I can't resolve my problem for getting null with my @Autowired service. Here's my code.

My Code

LoginServiceImpl.java

@Service
public class LoginServiceImpl implements LoginService{

    @Autowired
    TenantDao tenantDao;

    @Transactional
    @Override
    public String getTenantIdentifier(String email, String password) { ....

LoginController.java

@Component

public class LoginController  {

    private String email;
    private String password;
    private String tenantId;
    
    @Autowired 
    LoginService loginService;

    public void doLogin() {
        this.tenantId = loginService.getTenantIdentifier(email, password); ..

login.xhtml

<ui:define name="content">
    <h:form id="form">   
        <p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" life="3000" />  
        <h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="5">  
            <h:outputLabel for="username" value="Username:" />  
            <p:inputText value="#{login.email}" id="username" required="true" label="username"/>
            <h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password:" />  
            <p:inputText value="#{login.password}" id="password" required="true" label="password" type="password" />  
            <f:facet name="footer">  
                <p:commandButton id="loginButton" value="Login" update="growl" action="#{login.doLogin()}"/>  
            </f:facet>  
        </h:panelGrid>  
    </h:form>           
</ui:define>

So I choose to use Spring to manage all of my beans. Here's what I've done to resolve my problem (but still no result)

1. I tried to use inject JSF @ManagedBean to LoginController, and @ManagedProperty for LoginService. I got null pointer after invoke doLogin(). It said LoginService has null pointer.

2. After that I tried to use Spring injection to LoginController as you can see above, than I got this error.

   /login.xhtml @21,109 value="#{login.email}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'login' resolved to null

Anyone can help me ? I already follow and try many suggestion in this forum, but nothing's work.

Answer 1

Finally i figured it out, i just need to remove @Qualifier annotation and edit @Component annotation to @Component("login").

What a silly mistakes...
