Using Session Scope in Spring Beans

I'm using JSF 2 for the view and Spring for the business logic. I'm trying to set a session scope to one of my spring beans using annotations(@Scope("session")), but I'm getting this exception:

    SEVERE: Context initialization failed
    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'handleFiles': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private creazione.util.FTPOperations creazione.components.HandleOldFiles.operations; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'ftpOperations': Scope 'session' is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton; 
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? 
If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.

I know about RequestContextListener. It's in my web.xml. I've also added RequestContextFilter:

<listener>
        <listener-class>
            org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>
            org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>

    <filter>
        <filter-name>requestContextFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.RequestContextFilter<
