Initialization of Seam Application

[hamtho2]

Hi,

I have a problem accessing the properties of my seam application during startup.

I´ve got the following Bean, that is started through the @Startup annotation.

@Name("commonDataHelper")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class CommonDataHelper {

 @Logger
 private Log log;

 ...

 @Create
 public void init() {
....
 }

But when I try to access the following Properties I always get an exception, so I´ve got the idea, that it might not have been initialized yet. Is this assumption true, or do I have an other misunderstanding?

NPE if trying to access the application:

Iterator<Locale> locales = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getSupportedLocales();

Can´t receive the seam-RessourceBundle of my war, but only the one that lies in the sourcepath of my ejb-jar:

ResourceBundle rb = org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceBundle.instance().getBundle(bundleName, locale);

Anyone knows why?
I saw, that I could add a depends-value at the @Startup-annotation. But what would be the value to depend on?

Thank you
Thomas

During application startup Faces hasn't completely started - AFAIK Seam loads at the same time as JSF.

You could try depends="org.jboss.seam.core.core.resourceBundle".

There is no FacesContext available during application startup.

Gavin,

thanks for your answer. Do you know of any work-around that would do in this case? Or is this simply not doable?
