Obtaining a handle to a EntityHome object

[hvram]

Hi
The seam-gen code has reference to the EntityHome object .

In the .java file if I do a
Object o = new EntityHomeObject<>

the compilation goes thru but somethings start failing . ( logging fails etc )

I searched the forums and found that this is the NOT the way to do .

But I am not able to find any other way to obtain a new handle to the EntityHome .

So my question is how to get a handle to the EntityHome object from the java code ?

Regards
Hari

I was just looking at this myself this morning.

Instead of calling:

SomeObjectHome myHome = new SomeObjectHome();

You should instead use:

SomeObjectHome myHome = Component.getInstance("someObjectHome");

Where "someObjectHome" is the @Name given to the Home Object. If you don't do it this way then 'Seam can't do it's magic' and you'll get NullPointerExceptions on injected objects like @Logger.

Cheers,

Damian.

EntityHome was designed to be able to be used by JSF CRUD pages without needing additional java code. That said, it's generally preferred to access Seam components via @In than Component.getInstance().
