@Log and NullPointerException

[bsmithjj]

I have a class,

@Name("applicationSelectorData")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome = "home")
public class ApplicationSelectorData implements Serializable {

 @Logger
 private Log log;

 @Out(required=false)
 private List<SelectItem> applicationItems;

 .....

 @Observer("ApplicationSaved")
 public void applicationSavedListener() {
 log.info("applicationSavedListener() : "+EventType.ApplicationSaved.name());
 if (this.availableApplications != null) {
 this.availableApplications.clear();
 }
 }

}

that uses the @Logger + Log of Seam to provide a logger. During execution of an @Observer method in this class, the LogImpl class in Seam is throwing a NullPointerException. It looks like the internal log variable of LogImpl is not getting set... is this a bug?

Thanks

[gavin.king]

Can you reproduce this in a very simple test case and submit to JIRA?

I'm not sure the cause, but I think someone else complained about something like this.

[bsmithjj]

right now it occurs in a method marked @Observer, but I will try to create a test case that reproduces this using the event-listener @Observer functionality.

Thanks,

[gavin.king]

Hum, I just made a commit to CVS, I'm now using Externalizable instead of Serializable. I suspect a bug in JBoss EJB3. Can you grap a build from CVS and try that for me? thanks.

Currently java serialization api totally ignores readObject methods of serialazable seam component itself and any of it fields type. Simple test case:

OK, I added one. Try again now.

[tazo]

Forgot to say, with no arg constructor added, LogImpl works fine now.

[tazo]

^^

[gavin.king]

OK, so we have a workaround.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-787

[bsmithjj]

I haven't been able to try a CVS build since your post asking me to try it but I wanted to provide some more data around the problem.

- first adding a no-arg constructor to LogImpl didn't help (but again, I haven't tried the request CVS stuff yet)

- second, let me explain the execution context a bit.

I have an .ear application - the EJB's reside in their own jar, the webapp resides in a .war. The class that is experiencing the exception from LogImpl has an @Observer method for an event generated by a SFSB in the EJB jar. - NOTE - the class that has the @Observer method is bundled in the .war. It seems that in all our other uses of @Logger in the EJB's, there are no such issues. It's this one class in the war that has the problems.

Another aspect of the problem is when I remove the @Logger and convert over to a typical commons-logging Log - LogFactory impl in the observer class, I get a different type of exception

The idea behind the class in the war is that it maintains a collection of 'applications' (application is an entity in our domain). The event-generating SFSB sends out an event whenever an applications editted, added, activated, deactivated, and we need to update the collection in response to such an event. The SFSB is a DAO of sorts for application and collections of applications. The .war class that maintains a collection has no logic for querying the applications - rather, it delegates the loading to the SFSB.

[gavin.king]

Please try the latest CVS. I did more than adding a constructor! (I switched from Serializable to Externalizable.)

[ccanning]

I have an @Entity that is a seam managed component @Name and my @Logger is null. Is this related to this issue or is it a different issue that I should post?

[gavin.king]

@Logger (and much other Seam functionality) is not supported for entities.

[ccanning]

Thanks.
