@In bijected attributes remaining null?

[gregory.pierce]

I have a Seam application in which I'm attempting bijection with @In,
but for some reason the object that is being bijected isn't getting a
value from the JSF layer. How does one go about debugging this? I can
see all the tables, components, etc. get created and the JSF page is
showing up and the call to the controller (action) is happing fine as I
put in some System.out.printlns to confirm this, but the entity bean
that is being created simply never gets injected and I'm stumped.

Can anyone point me towards some things that might be culprits?

And where does user get created? I don't see @In(create=true), so it is happening somewhere you have not told me about. The xhtml?

[gavin.king]

Oh, the JSP appeared after I posted.
