Question on Injection by Factory

[kasim]

Somewhat of a small question.

Class A has -

@In(required = false, create = true)
private Message message;


However class A has no @Factory method.

Class B has a @Factory("message")

Message is a seam component

.. so when i run code to call Class A ... Class B's factory also gets called.

I assume this is normal behaviour since we wanted it to create it and searched out something to create??

A factory method is called when an EL tries to access a Seam component that is not set. It does not matter where that factory method exist.
