remove beans from seam contexts

[balamg]

How can i remove a bean from a seam context. eg: i have a user entity in session context. i want to discard it so that seam creates a new one next time....

Try setting the variable to null:

Contexts.getSessionContext().set("user", null);

You can read more about this under section "2.1.8. Context variables" in the documentation.

I think the better do like this:

Contexts.removeFromAllContexts(name);

or

Contexts.getSessionContext().remove(name);

because "set" does not remove variable.

Setting an @In(create=true) @Out(required=false) var = null is probably the easiest way to clear a variable and have it be recreated on next invocation.

You can use the Contexts methods explicitly, but they add LOC and greater coupling to Seam internals.
