Can't get @In working with Wicket

[mlindhout.mlindhout.jointeffort.nl]

Hello, first of all, although I read the book Seam in Action, I'm still pretty new to Seam.

I'm playing around with Seam/Wicket an can't get a simple @in to work. This is what I did:

- create a maven2 project wich wicket's quickstart page (just a normal WAR project)
- copy all necessary seam resources (from the jboss-seam-wicket sample) to the project (in the right place)
- added a seam.properties to WEB-INF/classes
- create a simple POJO called 'sayer' with the famouse sayHello method
- injected 'sayer' with @In to the HomePage.java
- use the sayer to add content to a Label (in the page's constructor)

Seam starts up without any problems an recognizes(?) my components:

10:43:31,270 INFO  [Initialization] done initializing Seam
10:43:31,341 INFO  [SeamFilter] Initializing filter: org.jboss.seam.web.wicketFilter
10:43:31,610 INFO  [WicketComponent] Class: class nl.jointeffort.HomePage
10:43:31,705 INFO  [WicketComponent] Class: class nl.jointeffort.WicketApplication
10:43:31,706 INFO  [WicketComponent] Class: class nl.jointeffort.model.Sayer
10:43:31,958 INFO  [Application] [WicketApplication] init: Wicket core library initializer

The problem is that the dependency remain null.

Any idea?

You can't inject Wicket components into Wicket components. Try injecting a Seam component, placed in WEB-INF/classes

Thanx Pete,

So during a build, I placed everything under nl/jointeffort/ui (which is the Wicket UI) to WEB-INF/wicket and left the rest (nl/jointeffort/model) in WEB-INF/classes

Now, the sayer is no longer a WicketComponent, but it appears in the Seam initialization proces:

12:00:50,543 INFO  [Component] Component: sayer, scope: EVENT, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: nl.jointeffort.model.Sayer

But my @In Sayer sayer remain null in Homepage.java

:-(

I think I don't understand Seam :-)

when I added an @In(create=true), the dependency is no longer null

Is it true that for event scoped objects nothing is creating until create=true?

Even @In EntityManager entityManager doesn't work :-(

12:18:37,298 INFO  [Component] Component: entityManager, scope: CONVERSATION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.jboss.seam.persistence.ManagedPersistenceContext

Why don't you work backwards from Seam Wicket Example to the one you want? It may helps you understands.
