Because of the Variable resolver we added to faces-config, we can simple inject any Spring bean using

@In("#{Name}")

and here is a example of where I use it.. enjoy

``` @Name("crudBacking") @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) @AutoCreate public class CrudBacking {

@In("#{cruds}")
Map<String, JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable>> cruds;

@In("#{paginators}")
Map<String , FilterablePageable> paginators;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Factory("employeeCRUD")
public JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> getEmployeeCrud() throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
    final JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> adapter = cruds.get(CrudUtils.getClassEntityName(Employee.class));
    Serializable temp = adapter.getController().getEntity();
    temp = adapter.getController().getEntityClass().newInstance();
    adapter.getController().addCrudControllerListener(new CrudControllerListener() {

        public void afterCancel(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterCreate(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterDelete(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterLoadCreate(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterLoadListing(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterRead(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void afterUpdate(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeCancel(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeCreate(CrudEvent event) {
            createThumbNail((Employee)event.getEntity());
        }

        public void beforeDelete(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeLoadCreate(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeLoadListing(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeRead(CrudEvent event) {
        }

        public void beforeUpdate(CrudEvent event) {
            createThumbNail((Employee)event.getEntity());
        }

        private void createThumbNail(final Employee employee) {
            // Need to create the ThumbNail;
            try {
                PersistedFile picture = employee.getPicture().getPicture();
                byte[] thumbNailBytes = ImageUtil.getThumbNail(picture.getBytes(), picture.getContentType(),32);
                byte[] thumbNailBytesBig = ImageUtil.getThumbNail(picture.getBytes(), picture.getContentType(),64);
                PersistedFile thumbNail = new PersistedFile();
                thumbNail.setBytes(thumbNailBytes);
                thumbNail.setContentType(picture.getContentType());
                thumbNail.setName("t" + picture.getName());
                employee.getPicture().setThumbNail(thumbNail);
                employee.getPicture().getPicture().setBytes(thumbNailBytesBig);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
    return adapter;
}


@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Factory("userGroupCRUD")
public JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> getUserGroupCrud() throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
    final JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> adapter = cruds.get(CrudUtils.getClassEntityName(UserGroup.class));
    return adapter;
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Factory(autoCreate=true , value="userCRUD")
public JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> getUserCrud() throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
    final JsfCrudAdapter<? extends Serializable, ? extends Serializable> adapter = cruds.get(CrudUtils.getClassEntityName(User.class));
    return adapter;
}

```

And you can use any of these as normal in your facelets file.

```

    <a4j:form id="employeeListingForm">
        <rich:messages infoClass="infoClass" errorClass="errorClass"
            layout="table" />

        <crank:listing jsfCrudAdapter="${employeeCRUD}"
            propertyNames="firstName,lastName,picture.thumbNail"
            parentForm="employeeListingForm" />
    </a4j:form> 

```
