Overriding seam framework components with EJBs

[nickarls]

Hi,

Is it possible to override seam components with EJBs or do they have to be POJOs? I try to use a Stateless EJB as a org.jboss.seam.core.resourceLoader but end up with a

org.javassist.tmp.java.lang.Object_$$_javassist_0 cannot be cast to org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceLoader

or am I missing something obvious? The bean looks something like

@Stateless
@Name("org.jboss.seam.core.resourceLoader")
@BypassInterceptors
public class ResourceLoaderImpl extends org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceLoader implements ResourceLoader {

Try dropping the implements ResourceLoader, only extending seam.core.Resourceloader it may cause the cast exception

I also have it like that and it works as an EJB. Also the original seam component doesn't implements resourceloader.

The ResourceLoader is my local interface

@Local
public interface ResourceLoader {
     public ResourceBundle loadBundle(final String bundleName);
}

Sry my mistake i have the repository that is behind it as an EJB not the component itself

Could it be that by using the EJB your actually 'working' with the interface and since that is not extending seam.core.ResourceLoader it gives a classcast exception ?

Yep I debugged it and it only gets a proxy based on the interface and that does not extend seam.core.resourceloader
