how to access produced field in EL?

[subaochen]

hi all,

I have a produce method like this：

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class Login  implements Serializable{
...
        @Produces
        @LoggedIn
        @SessionScoped
        public User getCurrentUser() {
                return currentUser;
        }
}

currentUser will be setted when user logged in.and I want to access currentUser in EL like this:

welcome <h:outputText value="#{currentUser.username}"/>!

but can not work. But:

welcome <h:outputText value="#{login.currentUser.username}"/>!

just works!

I don't know why

 #{currentUser.username}

does't work?

Thanks in advance!

You do not have a bean or producer qualified by the name currentUser, but you do have one named login and as you point out, this works.

Sorry I can't test this and I don't guarantee this will work but...

Try adding a produces method that returns a User and is qualified by @Named(currentUser). This will just return the @LoggedIn User (i.e. currentUser) but it will qualify the el name currentUser.

        @Produces
        @Named("currentUser")
        public User produceCurrentUserByElName(@LoggedIn User currentUser) {
                return currentUser;
        }

Fingers crossed it works for you :)

Thanks Andrew! yes, missing @Named for currentUser, this will work:

        @Produces
        @LoggedIn
        @SessionScoped
        @Named
        public User getCurrentUser() {
                return currentUser;
        }
