@Logger - usage question

[jazir1979]

Hi there,

I've been using the new @Logger annotation successfully to inject Log instances to a stateless session bean.

However, I've just created a new stateless session bean with Application scope, a @Startup annotation and a @Create method, and the log instance is not being injected.

Are there any limitations to the current implementation of @Logger?

cheers,
Daniel.

stateless session beans do not support @Create and @Destroy methods.

I probably need to document this.

That's strange, because my @Create create() method is being called. The stateless session bean in question is being used as a scheduled task (has an @Timeout method), and I'm setting up the timer in the @Create method to fire every second. And it's working... just that the @Logger is not being injected.

thanks for yr response though, I'll do it another way,
Daniel.

Hi,
logger is not injected on a stateful bean either. Somehow I feel Seam annotations are not correctly processed for @Startup components.
Would like to know as well if anyone has an idea why @Create works on stateless beans?

Thanks a lot

OK, you guys are doing something very wrong here. A stateless session bean is supposed to be bound to the STATELESS scope. Hence it cannot have an @Startup annotation, since @Startup applies only to APPLICATION and SESSION scoped components.

Btw, if anyone from Jboss listens, org.jboss.seam.remoting.wrapper.DateWrapper is not registered for remoting in 1.0.1GA --> dates cannot be passed from Javascript

Please report this in JIRA.

Note also that @Startup components are instantiated outside of the context of JSF, so not all functionality is available from the @Create method.

Thanks for the quick answer.
I'll post the remoting bug on JIRA once I figured out where to find that.
Maybe it wasn't clear but I do use a stateful session bean not stateless.
@PersistenceContext is injected, @Logger is not.

@Startup
@Name("dbCache")
@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
public class DBCacheBean implements DBCache {

 @Logger private Log log;

 @PersistenceContext
 private EntityManager entityManager;

Note that yesterday I committed some changes to CVS so that injection works during the startup phase.

You guys were right, there was a bug there.
