Class AlfrescoVariableResolver

javax.faces.el.VariableResolver

org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver

org.alfresco.web.app.AlfrescoVariableResolver

public class AlfrescoVariableResolver
extends org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver

JSF VariableResolver that first delegates to the Spring JSF variable resolver. The sole purpose of this variable resolver is to look out for the Container variable. If this variable is encountered the current viewId is examined. If the current viewId matches a configured dialog or wizard container the appropriate manager object is returned i.e. DialogManager or WizardManager.

Configure this resolver in your faces-config.xml file as follows:

 <application>
   ...
   <variable-resolver>org.alfresco.web.app.AlfrescoVariableResolver</variable-resolver>
 </application>
