Target Unreachable, identifier [clientsView] resolved to null

Question

I've been following this tutorial to integrate spring-boot with primefaces

However I got this error when trying to acces the backing bean:

Caused by: javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier [clientsView] resolved to null

I did search some answers with this problem but still not figured out what is the problem.

This is my xhtml web page:

                <p:inputMask id="phone" value="#{maskView.phone}"

                <p:inputText id="email1" value="#{clientsView.email}">

                        pattern="[\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]@[\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]" />
                </p:inputText>
                <p:message for="email1" display="tooltip" />
                <h:outputText value="#{clientsView.email}" />

                <p:commandButton id="submit" value="Submit"
                    action="#{clientsView.save}" update="confirmation"
                    icon="pi pi-save" oncomplete="PF('greetingDialog').show()" />
            </h:panelGrid>

        <p:dialog header="Confirmation" widgetVar="confirmationDialog"
            modal="true" resizable="false">
            <h:panelGrid id="confirmation" columns="1" cellpadding="4">
                <h:outputText value="#{clientsView.showDialog()}" />
            </h:panelGrid>
        </p:dialog>

    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

And this is the backing bean:

package com.goinside.view;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.inject.Named;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

import com.goinside.bo.ClientBO;
import com.goinside.service.ClientService;

import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.Setter;

@Named
@Getter
@Setter
public class ClientsView {

    private String name;
    private String adress;
    private String phone;
    private String email;

    @Autowired
    private ClientService clientService;
    private ClientBO clientBO;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        clientBO = new ClientBO();
    }

    public void save() {
        clientBO.setName(name);
        clientBO.setEmail(email);
        clientBO.setAdress(adress);
        this.clientService.save(clientBO);
    }

    public String showGreeting() {
        return "New client saved succesfuly!";
    }
}

Looks like it has to do with something related to use of CDI @Named annotation but I don't know exactly what it is.

This is the project structure:

So it works if you change all the `p:input*` components to `h:input*` ones? And it works if you use primefaces without spring-boot? And if you don't include the email validator in javascript? And posting errors in searchengines helps! — Kukeltje, Jul 22 '19 at 07:17
Still not work with the suggestions,the idea is to use with spring boot.I did search before , but none of the answers help.Thanks! — Rômulo Sorato, Jul 23 '19 at 03:05
