Logger is null in JavaBean

[mbakkali]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if the annotation @Logger
works only with EntityBeans?
That's what it looks like because when I try
doing that using a JavaBean, the logger is not
injected (its value is null)

The code I have is:

@Name("emailUtils")
public class EmailUtils {

     @Logger Log log;

     public sendEmail(...) {
         log.info("....");
     }
     ...
}

Any idea on how to make it work with JavaBeans unless
it just doesn't?
In that case, is there any intention to make it work for JavaBeans in future releases?

And log is imported as

import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;

?

[mbakkali]

yes the same way I do it with EJB.
Is @Logger org.jboss.seam.log.Log log supposed to work
with JavaBeans?

[stephen]

Yes it is supposed to work for JavaBeans.
For me, in fact, it really does work.

(For entity beans it only works if you declare the log field static .)

So: Does injection work on that EmailUtils bean of your in general?
How is the method that should use the log field called?
Maybe yours is a scenario where Seam interceptors do not apply.

Is it possible to use injection in a component annotated @BypassInterceptors (in my case, a JSF @Converter) ?

[blabno]

No way because it is the interceptor that injects all the stuff.

Did you manage to do it? I have the same problem.

What version of Seam and JBoss/Java are you using?

I believe this should have been fixed by now.
