Injection when using abstract parent class

[gmanwani]

I currently have an abstract base class

public abstract AbstractFoo {
init() {
}
}

public Foo extends AbstractFoo {
@In
private SomeObj seamcomp1;

public Foo() {
init();
}

}

When I create an object of Foo will seamcomp1 be initialized i.e would it have had it value injected?

Please post using [ code ] tags. Assuming Foo is a seam component, bijection will take place on it and it's superclasses.

Sorry about the missing the code tags! My bad, here is my setup

Foo is not really a Seam component but I make it available through the Seam manager pattern. SeamComp1 is a typical JavaBean seam component with Name and Scope(EVENT) annotations.

public abstract AbstractFoo {
 @In
 private SeamComp1 seamcomp1;

 init() {
 seamcomp1.getSomething();
 }
}

public Foo extends AbstractFoo {
 public Foo() {
 init();
 }
}

@Name("foo")
@Scope(EVENT)
public class FooMgr {
 @Unwrap
 public Foo getFoo() {
 return new Foo();
 }
}

Hope my setup is clear.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

In this case seamcomp1 will never be bijected (you cannot use Seam to inject into something that isn't a Seam component).

I have made Foo a Seam component but I do not see the injection happening. On the contrary if I have an init() method in the derived class and apply the @Create annotation to it then the injection does take place.

This looks like a bug to me.
