Weird injection issue

[lcoetzee]

Hi,

I have been having trouble with regard to a very weird injection issue, where some elements are injected, while others are not (this happening while the conversation has ended (I think ;-))). I will try and explain:

I have an entity bean:

@Entity
@Name("grouping")
@Table(name = "grouping")
public class Grouping {...

This gets outjected in one of my beans (but using a different name):

@Out(required = false , scope = ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
 private Grouping selectedGroupingForView;

selectedGroupingForView is visible in the conversation context through the debug.jsf page.

In another bean (contentManagementBean) I inject selectedGroupingForView.

@In(required = true,value="selectedGroupingForView")
 @Out(required=true)
 private Grouping selectedGroupingForView;

During normal usage this works as expected, with the selectedGroupingForView outjected and then injected and used (I have a page "viewContent" from where a s:link action can be invoked on contentManagementBean (<s:link action="#{contentManagementBean.createContent}" ... ) ).

However, when some time is allowed to pass before invoking the link the contentManagementBean is created with things started to be injected (ideally it should have thrown me out saying that a valid conversation is required). Quite a few things are injected, but I always get an exception saying that selectedGroupingForView is required). Looking in the log file I see the following:

[org.jboss.seam.Component] trying to inject with hierarchical context search: content
[org.jboss.seam.contexts.Contexts] found in conversation context: content

[org.jboss.seam.Component] trying to inject with hierarchical context search: selectedGroupingForView

, but note that it has not found it, while it did inject other elements.

Subsequently I get the following exception:

Sounds like a conversation timeout to me. What about it you use no-conversation-view-id?

[lcoetzee]

I agree that it is a conversation timeout.

I have

<component name="org.jboss.seam.core.pages">
 <property name="noConversationViewId">/public/error/errorPage.xhtml</property>
 </component>

in components.xml

as well as

<pages
 no-conversation-view-id="/public/error/errorPage.xhtml">
...

in pages.xml.

As I understand it, it should through me out if I try to access the bean without the conversation.

The complete method call from the xhtml page into the bean is:

<s:link action="#{contentManagementBean.editContent}"
 id="editContent">
 <h:outputText value="#{msgs.editContent}" />
 </s:link>

with the call itself:

public String editContent() {
.
.

The weird thing is that some things are still injected, while others are not.

The weird thing is that some things are still injected, while others are not.

Well, things that had some other scope than CONVERSATION would still be injectable, as would anything with create=true.

So, what you should focus on is why no-conversation-view-id is not working. What does the Seam debug log have to say?

[lcoetzee]

What I can see in the log file is that the bean (viewContentBean), which outjects the element initially (selectedGroupingForView) has been destroyed earlier

[org.jboss.seam.interceptors.RemoveInterceptor] Stateful component was removed: viewContentBean

but it seems that the conversation is still restored:

[org.jboss.seam.core.Manager] Found conversation id in request parameter: 2
2006-11-21 13:11:48,604 DEBUG [org.jboss.seam.core.Manager] Restoring conversation with id: 2

. Obviously it does not find the various things to inject (and throws the exception because of the required=true).

Still trying to decipher the log file to see why the conversation is still propagated...
