DatabaseInitialization after Component creation

[mika]

Hello,

I want to do a database initialization after the creation of an Application-Scoped component.

@Name("service.Application")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
public class Application {

 @In
 DAO dao;

 @create
 public void initDatabase(){
   dao.initDatabase();
 }
}

I found the @create or @PostConstruct annotation but the annotated method is called to early because the dao is not set in initDatabase.

How can I solve the problem?

Regards,

Mika

Hi,

If you need a dao instance in initDatabase(), you have to create it first using @In(create=true) DAO dao

I hope it helps

The dao is null even if I add @In(create=true).

Your initialization method should listen to the org.jboss.seam.postInitialization in order to have other components injected. Try with this:

    @Transactional
    @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
    public void initDatabase {
       dao.initDatabase();
    }
