Confusion on Conversation, Event-Observe, and Bijection

[bsmithjj]

Hello,

I have a SFSB1 - it has an a field that is marked @In @Out. This same bean has an @Observer method that listens for an event raised by another SFSB2.

Here is the trouble I am having. In a conversation, I click a link which invokes a method on SFSB2 - this method in SFSB2 is annotated with @RaiseEvent("MyEvent"), which SFSB1 is 'Observing'. When the @Observer("MyEvent") method gets invoked (due to the event), SFSB1 is throwing a NullPointerException on the field marked @In @Out.

09:28:35,015 ERROR org.jboss.seam.exceptions.DebugPageHandler - redirecting to debug page
org.jboss.seam.RequiredException: @Out attribute requires non-null value: realmManager.application
....

When I coded this, I assumed that @RaiseEvent would fire after outjection occurs on the SFSB1 method - i.e.

invoke SFSB1 method
- @In occurs
- method proceeds
- @Out occurs
- @RaiseEvent fires

from the exception, this looks like what is actually happening is:

invoke SFSB1 method
- @In occurs
- method proceeds
- @RaiseEvent fires
- @Out occurs (?)

Is this second case what is actually happending? If so, isn't the first case a better way to go if you want to have bijection work with raise+observe events?

Thanks

Nope.

@Interceptor(stateless=true,
 around={BijectionInterceptor.class, ConversationInterceptor.class,
 TransactionInterceptor.class, BusinessProcessInterceptor.class,
 RollbackInterceptor.class})
public class EventInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor

the event will be raised after outjection occurs.
