@Out scope question

[idrop]

Hi, I am setting a session scoped entity, a Participant, through outjection, like this:

@Stateless
@Name("login")
@Interceptor(SeamInterceptor.class)
public class LoginAction implements Login {

 @Out(scope = ScopeType.SESSION, required = false)
 private Participant participant;

 @In
 private Context sessionContext;

..................

 @IfInvalid(outcome = REDISPLAY)
 public String login() {

.................
 participant = results.get(0);
 log.info("participant loaded: " + participant);

 sessionContext.set("loggedIn", true);
 // sessionContext.set("p",participant);
 return "overview";
...................

I set 'required=false' on the @Out annotation for the case where the login is invalid, and Seam redirects back to the login page. I know from logging that my Participant is not null.

I had thought that a subsequent stateful conversational component would be able to access this '@Out-jected' Participant through '@In-jection', like:

@Stateful
@Name("wow")
@Interceptor(SeamInterceptor.class)
@Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome = "home")
@LoggedIn
public class WOWImpl implements WOW, Serializable {


 @In(scope=ScopeType.SESSION, create=false, required=true)
 private Participant participant;

 @In
 private Context sessionContext;

................

But in this case, Participant is null, and.. the sessionContext is also null.

I know that I can explicitly get a not-null reference in the stateful via:
participant = (Participant) Contexts.getSessionContext().get("participant");
But this seems less elegant.

I think the clue here is that the stateful bean has a null injected sessionContext, whereas the stateless bean has a valid reference, but I can't figure it out yet..

Anyway, is my thinking wrong in the way @Out-jection works in this case?

Cheers, and thanks for the product!

Perhaps you need to add @Intercept(ALWAYS)

Doh! Many thanks Gavin, that works.

I added:

@Stateful
@Name("wow")
@Interceptor(SeamInterceptor.class)@Intercept(InterceptionType.ALWAYS)@Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome = "home")
@LoggedIn
public class WOWImpl implements WOW, Serializable {

 @In(scope = ScopeType.SESSION, required = true, create = false)
 private Participant participant;

 @In(create = true, required = true)
 private Context sessionContext;

And now my Participant entity has been injected into this SFSB from session context. So no more need for this:
participant = (Participant) Contexts.getSessionContext().get("participant");

Thanks again,
Phil
