/**
 * JSF 1.2 <code>ELResolver that delegates to the Spring root
 * <code>WebApplicationContext, resolving name references to
 * Spring-defined beans.
 *
 * <p>Configure this resolver in your faces-config.xml file as follows:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <application>
 *   ...
 *   <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
 * </application></pre>
 *
 * All your JSF expressions can then implicitly refer to the names of
 * Spring-managed service layer beans, for example in property values of
 * JSF-managed beans:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <managed-bean>
 *   <managed-bean-name>myJsfManagedBean</managed-bean-name>
 *   <managed-bean-class>example.MyJsfManagedBean</managed-bean-class>
 *   <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
 *   <managed-property>
 *     <property-name>mySpringManagedBusinessObject</property-name>
 *     <value>#{mySpringManagedBusinessObject}</value>
 *   </managed-property>
 * </managed-bean></pre>
 *
 * with "mySpringManagedBusinessObject" defined as Spring bean in
 * applicationContext.xml:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <bean id="mySpringManagedBusinessObject" class="example.MySpringManagedBusinessObject">
 *   ...
 * </bean></pre>
