Hey,
I have a web application that does not use persistence (hibernate) as we have a non-database data source and a custom mediation layer between that and Seam. I have a need to get a new (or existing) instance of a named entity (or what ever: action/controller as well) by code. The reason I am posting a request to the mailing list is because we are using the @Install annotation and as such I cannot instantiate the class directly because I of course want the "installed" version.
Something like the following would be great..
package test.product;
@Name("person")
@Install(1)
public class Person {
}package test.site;
@Name("person")
@Install(2)
public class Person extends test.product.Person {
}And then in code somewhere use "person" to obtain a new or existing instance of "test.site.Person" (being the installed version). Perhaps some sort of EL resolving code?
Any ideas?
David
