On pages 416-419, the authors describe an extension to the Spring ContextLoader and ContextLoaderListener that will use a ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator to load a shared context that can be used from both the webapp(s) and EJB(s). I've built this into an application that I'm working on that happens to use JSF. When I hit a JSF page, the page bombs out with the following:

javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?

Is there some issues with using this shared parent context mechanism within a JSF application?

Regards,
