Getting a problem in JSF - Spring Integration

Question

Hi,
We have a web application in which we are working on JSF using MyEclipse. I am now trying to integrate spring framework into the project for having IOC for middle layer.
well I am getting problem in setting class attribute through Spring.
How I did is I added a class First.java initialized by application.xml The code is
<beans>
     <bean id="first" class="com.model.service.impl.first"
          abstract="false" singleton="false" >
     <property name="name">
          <value type="java.lang.String">to enter</value>
     </property></bean>
</beans>In web.xml I did the following change for Spring
     <servlet>
             <servlet-name>SpringContextServlet</servlet-name>
             <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderServlet</servlet-class>      
            <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>I added this first class in backing bean as a property. My faces-config.xml code is
          <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>EducInfo</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>
               com.view.beans.StudentEducInfo
          </managed-bean-class>
                <managed-property>
               <property-name>ft</property-name>
               <value>#{first}</value>
          </managed-property>and I called it from jsp(JSF) page as
<h:outputText value="#{EducInfo.tstFirst}" />the function tstFirst in EducInfo (backing bean) is
     private first ft;
     public String getTstFirst() {
          tstFirst=ft.getName();
          return tstFirst;
I am getting error 'Expression Error: Named Object: 'first' not found.'
Any idea? Any workaround would also be appreciated.
Thanks,

Your server is not able to find anything matching the requested file.
Well, just explore your archive file (possibly your .war file) and look at the path of the index file.
Please post your url. If pro11 is your project name (the root) then ensure that the index file is by itself ie the path should be shown as blank in your war file.
Or mention the exact path of your index file in the url.
