JSF annotations don't work with Spring-boot
jsf, spring, spring-boot
Solution
Disclaimer
I am answering this based on what I think you were trying to acheive even though my answer does not match the question title.
You said "My purpose is force JSF-annotation to work, because in real project without them it is impossible." I'm guessing you mean "impossible" because putting managed beans in the faces-config.xml is cumbersome. So to this end I am going to not use the faces-config.xml to manage beans.
I'm going to show you an alternative that uses Spring annotations which is very non-cumbersome and I feel accomplishes your original goal.

Example -- https://github.com/Zergleb/Spring-Boot-JSF-Example
I looked over your question the other day and decided to try and make this work and I put my results on github (Link above). This example should allow you to write a JSF application using Spring annotations instead of JSF annotations for example you'll say
@Component
@Scope("view")
//The example above contains an implementation of the View Scope in Spring.
instead of
@ManagedBean
@ViewScope
and you'll then be able to use Spring for all of your dependency injection.
I used gradle instead of maven so this means your dependencies are in the build.gradle instead of the pom.xml I had to add these in order to make everything work. Those should be easy enough to translate to a pom.xml I imagine.
compile group: 'javax.el', name: 'el-api', version: '1.0'
compile group: 'com.sun.el', name: 'el-ri', version: '1.0'
compile group: "javax.servlet.jsp" name: "jsp-api" version: "2.1"
My web.xml only has one servlet now and I removed the servlet-mapping and all of the other attributes of the web.xml
(I'm still working on how to remove this web.xml altogether check the example for any updates on whether I figured it out or not)
<web-app ... same as before>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>
faces-config.xml now has no managed beans
<faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd" version="2.2">
<application>
<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>
</faces-config>
I do not have this right now but we might want to consider having an empty in the web.xml I haven't researched this a ton but one of the spring-project examples on github contains this code
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-traditional/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
<!-- Disables Servlet Container welcome file handling. Needed for compatibility with Servlet 3.0 and Tomcat 7.0 -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file></welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
I hope that answers your question. If I left something out try and reference the example code.
Example
https://github.com/Zergleb/Spring-Boot-JSF-Example
Runs a spring boot application that should both run Spring MVC and JSF in one application sharing a common context.(I included this in the answer because you referenced this link in your question Spring Boot and JSF/Primefaces/Richfaces which says that mixing Spring MVC and JSF is impossible but I have working in my example code.
Problem
I had been tried to use info from Spring Boot and JSF/Primefaces/Richfaces, but for me it doesn't work. I use Java 8, maven, Spring-boot and JSF with PrimeFaces. I would like to have executable jar and run my application via main method or from command line `java -jar myApp.jar`. The problem - JSF-annotations (`@ManagedBean`, `@ManagedProperty`) are ignored. Pom file: ``` <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.1.3.RELEASE</version> </parent> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-embed-core</artifactId> <version>7.0.54</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-embed-logging-juli</artifactId> <version>7.0.54</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId> <version>7.0.54</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.primefaces</groupId> <artifactId>primefaces</artifactId> <version>5.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId> <version>2.2.7</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId> <version>2.2.7</version> </dependency> ... </dependencies> ``` I also have tried to add/remove javax.el-api/javax.el/jstl - the same result. For bean initialization I have added section to faces-config.xml When I change spring-boot-starter-web to spring-boot-starter and have spring-web (according to solution from mentioned post from Herick) I got java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurerAdapter.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist My config class: ``` @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration//(exclude = {WebMvcAutoConfiguration.class, DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration.class}) @ComponentScan("hello") public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(Application.class); } @Bean public FacesServlet facesServlet() { return new FacesServlet(); } @Bean public ServletRegistrationBean facesServletRegistration() { ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean(facesServlet(), "*.xhtml"); registration.setName("facesServlet"); return registration; } @Bean public ServletListenerRegistrationBean<ConfigureListener> jsfConfigureListener() { return new ServletListenerRegistrationBean<ConfigureListener>(new ConfigureListener()); } ``` } With (`exclude = {WebMvcAutoConfiguration.class, DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration.class}`) web.xml configuration doesn't work. In mentioned post was: ``` @Bean public ListenerRegistationBean jsfConfigureListener() { return new ListenerRegistrationBean(new ConfigureListener()); } ``` `ListenerRegistationBean` is absent in my spring-boot and I have used `ServletListenerRegistrationBean` instead. My web.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" version="3.1"> <display-name>Test</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <error-page> <location>/error.xhtml</location> </error-page> </web-app> ``` And faces-config.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd" version="2.2"> <application> <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver> </application> <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>managedBeann</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>hello.ManagedBeann</managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean> </faces-config> ``` Because nonworking annotations is used. By the way PrimeFaces is working. My purpose is force JSF-annotation to work, because in real project without them it is impossible.
