understanding create=true

[janbols]

I'm trying to understand why the following doesn't work:

I have a SFSB:

 @Stateful
 @Name("mySFSB")
 @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
 @Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
 public static class MySFSBAction implements MySFSB {
 @In(create=true, required=false) String myString;
 public String action() {
 ...
 }
 }

and a jsf page:

 <h:inputText value="#{myString}"/>
 <h:commandButton type="submit" action="#{mySFSB.action}"/>

I would expect that Seam would create myString and that the value I type in the inputText would get injected into the myString property of my SFSB. However this is not happening. The myString property stays null.

Can someone explain me why?

I have never seen a valuebinding like #{myString} before. I don't think it is legal. You must bind to a component attribute.
