Configuring Seam Filters through components.xml

[rmcfadden94]

All,
Is it possible to configure Seam Filters through the components.xml?

My Filter on Seam 1.2.1 :
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Name("common.WebTrendsFilter")
public class WebTrendsFilter extends AbstractFilter {
public static final String FILTER_ENABLED = "FILTER_ENABLED";

/**
* _log - Default Logger injected from SEAM.
*/
@Logger
private Log _log;

/**
* Club configuration provider for page information.
*/
@In(value="common.clubConfigProvider")
private IClubConfigProvider _clubConfig;

My issue is that when I try to configure the filter through the web.xml, the objects with the @In annotation come up Null, and are not injected by Seam. Therefore, I tried adding it to the components.xml, but have not had any luck whatsoever. Here is what I have tried placing in components.xml:


#{common.clubConfigProvider}
#{common.viewContentProvider}
#{common.commonModuleConfig}


Is there a special tag to designate a component as a filter? If so, I am assuming you can designate a url-pattern to apply the filter too? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Above post: the xml didnt translate right:
components.xml



#{common.clubConfigProvider}

You probably want to put code/xml snippets in code tags. It'll make it easier to read, and xml won't get mangled.

#{common.clubConfigProvider}




Note: #{common.clubConfigProvider} refers to an Application Scoped SEAM Object that I am trying to inject into the filter's data member of the same type.

Still not right. If you type [ code ] xmlstuff [ /code ] (w/out the spaces inside the brackets), it'll render like this:

xmlstuff

without getting mangled.

Also, always hit "Preview" before Submit. It's saved me multiple times.
