@PreDestroy and injected JavaBeans

[beligum]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do the following:

@Stateful
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("outboxManager")
public class OutboxManagerImpl extends AbstractManagerImpl implements OutboxManager, Serializable
{
 private Map<Principal, List<EmailMessage>> queuedMessages;

 @In(create=true)
 private EmailMessenger emailMessenger;

 [constructors, getters, setters, ...]

 @PreDestroy
 public void cleanup()
 {
 try {
 sendAllQueuedMessages();
 } catch (EmailException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
 @Remove
 @Destroy
 public void destroy()
 {
 }
}

Everything works fine, but when the @PreDestroy method is called, the injected JavaBean (POJO with @Name("emailMessenger")) has become null. I tried to re-inject it manually, but some other initialization-things (eg. the email renderer) go wrong then.

Am I missing the point here that the injected values are already irrevocably destroyed when @PreDestroy is reached/called, or is this expected behavior? If so, how do I send my queued mails when the session goes out of scope?

thanks a lot,

b.
