JSF not loading managed beans

I got a simple demo project with embedded Jetty and JSF (Primefaces). The problem is that my beans are not loaded at all.

/src/main/java/HelloBean.java

import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;
import javax.faces.bean.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;

@ManagedBean(eager=true)
@ApplicationScoped
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    ... 

    @PreDestroy
    public void preDestroy(){
        System.out.println("PRE DESTROY");
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void postConstruct(){
        System.out.println("POST CONSTRUCT");
    }

    public HelloBean() {
        System.out.println("Hello Bean instantiated");
    }
    ...
}

The class to start the embedded server is /src/main/JettyRunner.java. The main method is:

InetSocketAddress address = InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved("localhost", 8080);
Server server = new Server(address);

WebAppContext wac = new WebAppContext();
wac.setContextPath("/ui");
wac.setWelcomeFiles(new String[] { "index.xhtml" });
String webappDir=JettyRunner.class.getClassLoader().getResource(".").toString();
wac.setBaseResource(new ResourceCollection(new String[] {
        webappDir+"../../src/main/webapp","./target" }));

server.setHandler(wac);
server.setStopAtShutdown(true);
server.start();
server.join();

The messages in postConstruct or the Constructor are not printed at all. Accessing a property of this bean in my xhtml gives no error and just prints nothing.

Even if I access a bean that does not exist, there's no error message.

Why are my beans not loaded?

After three days I finally found the answer myself:

Just added the line

wac.setResourceAlias("/WEB-INF/classes/", "/classes/");

to my runner class. Now everything works as expected.

Try adding the @Named annotation to your bean. This annotation makes the managed bean accessible through the EL. Then change 

<h:outputText value="HelloBean.name"/>

to

<h:outputText value="#{HelloBean.name}"/>

in /src/main/webapp/index.xhtml
