Description

Hello,

I've generated a basic FacesValidator which uses CDI to retrieve FacesContext and other Container Managed-Bean.

I've noted several issues while doing so:

• @FacesValidator with "managed = true" isn't enough to make this Validator a managed-bean being "Injectable".
• @Dependent (or any other scope) must be added to workaround the previous point.
• If you want to inject FacesContext as described in JSF 2.3 spec, you also need to add @FacesConfig(version = FacesConfig.Version.JSF_2_3), without that setting, injecting a FacesContext will result in NullPointerException.

 

It may be that not all of this is related to MyFaces or that I misunderstood some part of the JSF 2.3 specs but I'm not able to run the attachec validator without these additions.
