How to inject Spring 3.0 annotated bean form JBoss Seam 2.3 Action Bean

Question

I would like to development an simple application using the following envirnoment.

1. JBoss 7.1.1
2. JBoss Seam 2.3
3. JSF 2.0
4. Rifaces 4.0
5. Spring 3.0
6. JPA 2.0
7. Eclipse IDE with JBoss Tool 3.2

Most of the configuration properly work. But I cannot inject the Spring Bean from Seam Action Bean. There is no error and exception when page is loaded. My Data table is

In my Seam Action Bean;

@Scope(CONVERSATION)
@Name("ManageDepartmentBean")
public class ManageDepartmentBean implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -4373053763864526454L;

    @Out(value = "departmentList")
    public List<Department> departmentList;

        public List<Department> getDepartmentList() {
            return departmentList;
        }   

    @In("#{DepartmentService}")
    private IDepartmentService departmentService;

    @Begin
    public String begin() {
        departmentList = departmentService.findAllDepartments();
        return "success";
    }


    public String increment() {
        return "success";
    }


    @End
    public String end() {
        return "home";
    }
}

In my Spring bean;

@Service(value = "DepartmentService")
public class DepartmentService implements IDepartmentService{
    @Resource(name = "DepartmentDAO")
    private IDepartmentDAO departmentDAO;

    @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
    public List<Department> findAllDepartments() {
        return departmentDAO.findAll();
    }
}

I also try to used as below in web.xml, but it does not work.

  <context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>classpath:spring-beans.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <listener>
      <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

in my page;

    <rich:dataTable value="#{ManageDepartmentBean.departmentList}" var="dep" id="departmentTable">
        <rich:column sortBy="#{dep.id}">
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="Department ID"/>
            </f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{dep.id}" />
        </rich:column>
        <rich:column sortBy="#{dep.name}">
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="Name"/>
            </f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{dep.name}" />
        </rich:column>
        <rich:column sortBy="#{dep.description}">
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="Description"/>
            </f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{dep.description}}" />
        </rich:column>
    </rich:dataTable>

Answer 1

I get to inject spring bean from seam action bean using @In annotation. There is no need to do configuration for seam component into spring-bean.xml or applicationContext.xml.

In web.xml

 <context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>classpath:spring-beans.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <listener>
      <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

In faces-config.xml

<application>
    <variable-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver</variable-resolver>   
</application>
