Failed to inject entityManager in @FacesConverter

[jee4hire]

The entityManager is null in the defined @FacesConverter below.
How can I get a valid handle to the entityManager inside the @FacesConverter?

java:

@FacesConverter("entityFileConverter")
public class FileConverter implements Converter, Serializable {
  @Inject private EntityManager entityManager;

  @Override
  public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
    Long id = Long.valueOf(value);
    return entityManager.find(File.class, id);
  }

  @Override
  public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
    return ((File)value).getId().toString();
  }
}

xhtml:


  <h:inputText label="File" id="file" required="true" value="#{job.file}">
    <f:converter converterId="entityFileConverter"/>
  </h:inputText>

Do you have a producer for your EntityManager?

[jee4hire]

How do you create a producer for EntityManager?

[lightguard]

It's in the docs for Seam Persistence

[jee4hire]

The entityManager is still null after using this:


import javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped;
import javax.enterprise.inject.Produces;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceUnit;

import org.jboss.seam.solder.core.ExtensionManaged;

/**
* @author Shane Bryzak
*/
public class EntityManagerProducer {
  @Produces
  @ExtensionManaged
  @ConversationScoped
  @PersistenceUnit
  EntityManagerFactory emf;
}

[lightguard]

Do you have Seam Persistence as a dependency?

[lightguard]

Are you deploying on Tomcat?

It also looks like you have some duplicates of some of the jars. For example seam-servlet and seam-serlet-api. The API jar is bundled with the seam-servlet jar.

I removed the extra jars from the war.
The result is still the same. Failed to inject entityManager and log in the following.
How can I solve this problem?

The output: ***log: null, entityManager: null.

@FacesConverter("entityFileConverter")
public class FileConverter implements Converter, Serializable {
  @Inject private EntityManager entityManager;
  @Inject private Logger log;
 
  @Override
  public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
    Long id = Long.valueOf(value);
    System.out.println("***log: " + log + ", entityManager: " + entityManager);
    return entityManager.find(File.class, id);
  }

  @Override
  public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
    return ((File)value).getId().toString();
  }
}

[lightguard]

If you're deploying on AS7 it certainly seems like you have way too many jars in there.

[jee4hire]

Could you please be more specific.
Then, I can test your assertion, and then relay the results to you.
Thanks.

[lightguard]

Pretty much anything that starts with jboss or hibernate (and any of those transitive dependencies) you don't need.

Try this instead

If you can tell me what uses the jars I wasn't sure about I'll tell you if you need them.
