EntityHome @Log dependancy

[twhitehead.twhiteheadjm.hotmail.com]

I recently used an EntityHome class to create a number of entites in a batch manner.
The following function is inside flightHome

public void batchCreateFlights() {
     Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
     cal.setTime(Utils.dateRound(batchFrom, true, Calendar.DATE));     
     while (cal.getTime().before(Utils.dateRound(batchTo, false, Calendar.DATE))) {
          if (cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == getWeekDay().getCalendarDay()) {
               FlightHome flightHome = new FlightHome();
               // copy values off  getInstance into flightHome.getInstance()
               //and generate some values
               flightHome.persist();
          }
          cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
     }
}

However I got a null pointer exception because EntityHomes persist() uses an injected @Log which doesn't exist when EntityHome is not used as a seam component as above.

I solved it by overriding the relevant function without the @Log being used:

@Override
protected void createdMessage() {
     getFacesMessages().add(new FacesMessage("Created flight no: "+getInstance().getFlightno()));
}

EntityHome is only intended to be used as a Seam component.
