POJO bijection

[francesco.mondora]

Hi all,
I'm new to Seam and I'm starting in understanding how bijection works.

Current scenario is:
a jsf button is linked to a start() method on a session bean stateless where
there is declared:
@Out
PojoA pojoA = new PojoA("frank pojo a");

public String start() {
PojoB b = new PojoB();
b.doB();
return "nothing by now";
}


PojoA is:
@Name("pojoA")
public class PojoA {

public PojoA() {
this.a="empty a";
}

private String a;

public PojoA(String a) {
this.a=a;
}

public void doA(String withWho){
System.out.println("AAAA --> pojoa doing a with value: "+a+" from: "+withWho);
}
}

and PojoB is:
@Name("pojoB")
public class PojoB {

@In(create=true)
PojoA pojoA;


public PojoA getPojoA() {
return pojoA;
}

public void setPojoA(PojoA pojoA) {
this.pojoA = pojoA;
}



public void doB(){
System.out.println("b doing b");
this.getPojoA().doA("b");
}

}

Everytime start() is called and pojoB is called, pojoA is not injected
and the create=true annotation value is not considered throwing a NullPointerExcetpion (pojoA is null).

I think I'm missing something.

What am I missing?

Thanks to all
Frank

You need to let Seam instantiate the component, you can't do this:

PojoB b = new PojoB();

Instead, use Component.getInstance("pojoB", true)
