Getting error in simple Jsf-Spring Integration

Question

Hi,
I am getting error in setting class attribute through Spring when I am integrating spring1.2 and jsf 1.1. Alone JSF is working fine.
The error I am getting is
Class org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver is no javax.faces.el.VariableResolverI m using JSF1.1, Spring 1.2 and jdk 1.4
How I did is I added a class First.java initialized by application.xml as follows
<beans>
     <bean id="first" class="com.tst.beans.First" >
     <property name="name">
          <value type="java.lang.String">abc</value>
     </property></bean>
</beans>I have added Delegating Variable resolver and other stuff in faces-config.xml as follows
    <application>
<variable-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver</variable-resolver>
      <locale-config>
        <default-locale>en</default-locale>
      </locale-config>
      <message-bundle>com.Messages</message-bundle>
    </application>
     <navigation-rule>
          <from-view-id>/third.jsp</from-view-id>
     </navigation-rule>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>secBean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>com.tst.beans.SecBean</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
          <managed-property>
               <property-name>ft</property-name>
               <value>#{first}</value>
          </managed-property>
     </managed-bean>In web.xml I did the following change for Spring
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
      <!--Loads Spring application context upon application startup.-->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
       <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 in JSP page, I called the managed property as
<h:outputText value="#{secBean.ft.name}" ></h:outputText>Any pointers? Any workaround would also be highly appreciated

There is a working apache example in the SVN...might be worth taking a look at that.
