JSF 2 converters and Spring services

Problem:
I’ve a JavaServer Faces 2 converter (@FacesConverter) and I’ve to access a Spring service. The converter is managed by jsf and if I use @Service or a Spring bean I’ve a null pointer exception

Solution:
access the Spring service using FacesContextUtils. Ex:


@Override
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, String s) {
...
if (personneService == null)
personneService = (PersonneService) FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(facesContext).getBean("personneService");
...
}
