Injection Problem

[petedog]

I'm constructing a form for a customer and in this form I have multiple people (ie, "First Name", "Last Name", etc) as points of contact. Basically, I have 2 different Contact instances on the Action that I want to connect the form to and I'm not getting it to work. I'm trying to use the @In(value="contact"), @In("contact"), etc and it still keeps complaining, displaying this when doing seam validation: "value could not be converted to the expected type". If someone knows of of a way to make this work, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Peter

Here's the code for the entity and Action:

@Entity
@Name("contact")
@Table(name = "CONTACT")

public class Contact implements java.io.Serializable {

 private Long id;

 private String firstName;

 ......
}



@Stateful
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("customerFormAction")
public class CustomerFormAction implements ICustomerFormAction, Serializable {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 @Logger private Log log;


 @In(value="contact")
 Contact contact1;

 @In(value="contact")
 Contact contact2;

 ........
}

Here is also a bit of code of the xhtml page that I'm trying to connect to contact1 and contact2 entities on the Action:

 ...............

 Contact 1 First: <h:inputText value="#{contact1.firstName}"/>
 Contact 1 Last: <h:inputText value="#{contact1.lastName}"/>

 Contact 2 First:<h:inputText value="#{contact2.firstName}"/>
 Contact 2 First:<h:inputText value="#{contact2.lastName}"/>

 ...........

@Entity
@Name("contact")
@Role(name="contact1")
@Table(name = "CONTACT")

public class Contact implements java.io.Serializable {

 private Long id;

 private String firstName;

 ......
}

@Stateful
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("customerFormAction")
public class CustomerFormAction implements ICustomerFormAction, Serializable {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 @Logger private Log log;


 @In
 Contact contact;

 @In
 Contact contact1;

 ........
}

...............

 Contact 1 First: <h:inputText value="#{contact.firstName}"/>
 Contact 1 Last: <h:inputText value="#{contact.lastName}"/>

 Contact 2 First:<h:inputText value="#{contact1.firstName}"/>
 Contact 2 First:<h:inputText value="#{contact1.lastName}"/>

What does contact1 and contact2 refer to? Without seeing the rest of your code it looks like you need to set up roles for the entity:

@Entity
@Name("contact")
@Table(name = "CONTACT")
@Roles(
 { @Role(name="contact1", scope=EVENT)
 @Role(name="contact2", scope=EVENT)}
)
public class Contact {
 ...
}

Alternatively, the method I prefer, you could create a ContactHome which extends EntityHome where you could hold references to Contact contact1, Contact contact2 with the getters and setters. then reference in the form through contactHome.contact1.firstname ect...

Thanks! By adding the @Roles/@Role annotation to the entity it now works.
