Spring Web Flow and JSF2 configuration problem

Hi all,

i would like to use Spring Web Flow and JSF 2, but it doesn't work. If I use a h:commandButton the transition is not executed and the page is only refreshed.

My configuration is:

web.xml:

  <!-- Initializing JavaServer Faces, *NOT* used at runtime due to Spring Web Flow -->
  <!-- FacesServlet -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <!-- The servlet is loaded on startup to be reachable for requests. -->
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <!-- Mapping for FacesServlet -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  </context-param>

  <!-- Making the RichFaces skin spread to standard HTML controls -->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>org.richfaces.CONTROL_SKINNING</param-name>
    <param-value>enable</param-value>
  </context-param>

  <!-- Defining and mapping the RichFaces filter -->
  <filter>
    <filter-name>RichFaces Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
  </filter>

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>RichFaces Filter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
    <!-- <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher> -->
  </filter-mapping>

  <!-- Turn off the VDL viewhandler because of the limited JSF 2.0 support of RichFaces -->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
  </context-param>

    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <!-- Map all /spring requests to the Dispatcher Servlet for handling -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/swf/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  <a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId=test">Submit</a>

  <input type="submit" name="_eventId" value="test" />

  <h:commandButton id="test" action="test" value="test"/>

</h:form>
