Problem injecting default resource bundle to session bean

[johnnybe]

Hello,

I'm just starting with seam and managed to set up my project integrating ADF faces with facelets, MyFaces and Seam. Everything works so far but now I ran into a problem using the resource bundle in a session bean.
I am using the default messages.properties and it works in my pages using EL #{messages.hello}

Now I want to use the message directly in my session bean and tried to inject it as described in the reference doc:

@In("#{messages['hello']}") private String hello;

But it doesn't get injected, the string is still null.
Even tried

@In("#{messages.hello}") private String hello;

which gives the same result.
When I inject the messages Map

@In(create=true) private Map<String, String> messages;

a NullPointerException is thrown as soon as I try to access the map by

private String hello = messages.get("hello");

Does anyone have a hint for me?

Thanks,
johnnybe

Show me the stack trace of the NPE, does it come from your code, of inside Seam?

Does org.jboss.seam.core.Messages.getMessages() ever get called? (Try putting a breakpoint there.

Hi gavin,

the stack trace of the NPE is following:

So the NPE comes from my code and it's thrown in the line:

private String email = messages.get("enterEmail");

This is following right after:

@In(create=true) private Map<String, String> messages;

which tells me that the messages-map seems not to be injected.

When I use the simpler syntax with just one line:

@In("#{messages['enterEmail']}") private String email;

org.jboss.seam.core.Messages.getMessages() does not get called.
Though it does get called when evaluating the EL expressions with messages inside my xhtml.
So it looks to me like injection for session beans is somehow not working.

[johnnybe]

I just found out that it is not just a problem of injecting the messages bundle, since no injections at all are working within my bean.
I checked everything I found in the forum for injection and nothing works for me.
My JNDI pattern is set correctly and @Intercept(ALWAYS) doesn't work either.
Strange thing is that there are no exceptions thrown concerning injection, i just get the NPE as soon as I try to acces one of the injected fields' methods.
I can reconstruct this problem with the EntityManager. When I use @PersistenceContext it gets injected, when I use @In(create=true) it is null.

[johnnybe]

I'm sorry. Tracked down the error to a mistake on my side. My packaging configuration was broken, so the Seam ejb-interceptor was not properly registered.

Thanks for your patience with a newbie :-)
