How to connect servlet with jsf

Question

hello everybody, please help me
on how to connect jsf to a simple servlet. jsf bean is populated with values entered by user, but to use that bean in servlet i have instantiated new bean object so how i can access values entered by user as bean object contains initial values of variables.
actually i m developing a sample application jsf as component framework,hibernate as back end layer & spring as middle layer but right now i want to connect jsf to database using servlet & hibernate .So i want to access form bean of jsf so that i want to use form bean to do ORM in hibernate. but how can i get values entered by user in my servlet so that i can set these values in bean object.
please reply
Thanks

Answer 1

Please elaborate 'connect' in this context. This sounds a bit odd namely.
You can invoke a servlet using a plain GET query or a POST query using a <form> element.
If you're saying that you want to use some business logic which is available in a servlet, then you're looking in the wrong direction. Refactor that business logic in a separate class so that a simple Servlet as well as a JSF backing bean can use that logic. Then you can use JSF h:form with commandButton/Link to invoke the backing bean's action which on its turn invokes that logic.
