Property not found on type com.sun.proxy.$Proxy127 when using implements Serializable

i have view bean as follows:

    @Named("myBean")
    @Scope(ScopeType.VIEW)
    public class MyBean implements Serializable {

        /**
         * 
         */
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -1635565383922455897L;

            List<CompanyValue> values = new ArrayList<CompanyValue>(6);

        public List<CompanyValue> getValues() {
            return values;
        }

        public void setValues(List<CompanyValue> values) {
            this.values = values;
        }
}

i am using spring scope annotation

and the jsf code is as follows:

<h:inputText value="#{companyValueBean.values[0].name}" />

the CompanyValue domain class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "company_value")
public class CompanyValue implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -2966293162153602542L;

    }

    @Column(name = "name", length = 25)
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

}

and i am getting exception:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: mypage.xhtml @34,195 value="#{MyBean.values[0].name}": Property 'values' not found on type com.sun.proxy.$Proxy127

The simple solution would be to add CGLIB to your classpath and change

@Scope(ScopeType.VIEW)

to 

@Scope(ScopeType.VIEW, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)

As to why this happens, Spring uses, by default, JDK proxies to proxy your beans. The JDK proxies it creates only implement the interfaces your bean's class implements, not its actual class type. In other words, the proxy for MyBean, which for this run is com.sun.proxy.$Proxy127, would implement only Serializable, but would not be of type MyBean.

Furthermore, EL resolution is done by calling getClass() on the object it's trying to resolve the property on, and using reflection to get the getter Method. In this case, the class com.sun.proxy.$Proxy127 (or the interfaces it implements, ie. Serializable) does not have a getValues() method.

CGLIB proxies on the other hand do extend the base class so you do have access to methods declared in that class. ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS forces Spring to use CGLIB proxies.

As to why it works when you remove Serializable...maybe Spring again defaults to CGLIB if your bean class doesn't implement any interfaces.
