Event with @Observer not being fired

[terryb]

Seam 2.0.1CR1

Method with @Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loggedOut") is not being recognised as event to fire.
I also tried org.jboss.seam.loggedOut and @Observer(Identity.EVENT_LOGGED_OUT) but same thing.

Using debugger shows Seam's Identity.logout() attempts to raise event but there is no event to be raised as
Event.raiseEvent() method shows List variable 'observers' being null.

Any clues please?

Seam Events.java

 public void raiseEvent(String type, Object... parameters)
 {
...
List<Init.ObserverMethod> observers = Init.instance().getObserverMethods(type);
 List<Init.ObserverMethod> observers = Init.instance().getObserverMethods(type);
 if (observers!=null)
 {
...

 }
}



My Authenticator.java

@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loggedOut")
public void logout() {
 activityLog.logOrgUser(orgUserAuthenticated.getUser(), ActivityLogger.Code.LOGOUT, null);
}

I think the @Observer("org.jboss.seam.loggedOut") is the correct version nowadays but you already said it didn't work. Is the method in a seam-managed class? Can you get any other observers to trigger in that class?

it is now resolved. thank you very much for the help, and my apologies I was asking for problem that didnt' exist.

the problem occurred, due to JBDev not updating classes; becase after updating seam some dependency jar was missing.

though something useful that came out of this:

Events like "org.jboss.seam.loggedOut" will be replaced with to "org.jboss.seam.security.loggedOut" from next major release. 2.0.0CR1 currently supports both types. Now you could also use events like
@Observer(Identity.EVENT_LOGGED_OUT).

Oops, I must have been reading the wrong version :-/ But It's a good thing that we get the constants now.

Although I wouldn't mind that they would all be in the Events class. So that your could find everything observable in one place.
