In a JSF 2 environment you'll also need this Spring MVC related configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:faces="http://www.springframework.org/schema/faces"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/faces
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/faces/spring-faces-2.2.xsd">

    <faces:resources />
    
    <bean class="org.springframework.faces.webflow.JsfFlowHandlerAdapter">
        <property name="flowExecutor" ref="flowExecutor" />
    </bean>

</beans>
        

The resources custom namespace element delegates JSF 2 resource requests to the JSF 2 resource API. The JsfFlowHandlerAdapter is a replacement for the FlowHandlerAdapter normally used with Web Flow. This adapter initializes itself with a JsfAjaxHandler instead of the SpringJavaSciprtAjaxHandler previously used with Spring Faces components.
