injection in parent not working for seam validator

[gjeudy]

Hi,

I'm using Seam 2.0.1.GA. Here's my usecase:

@Name("validityPeriodValidator")
@org.jboss.seam.annotations.faces.Validator
public class ValidityPeriodValidator extends AbstractBeanValidator<ValidityPeriod> {
     
}

parent class:

public abstract class AbstractBeanValidator<T> implements Validator {

     @In
     FacesMessages facesMessages;
     
        public final void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException {
          ..     
         }

     
When validate() is invoked by Seam/JSF in the parent class I see that facesMessages is null. If I move the injection into the subclass it works.

Any ideas? This seems like a bug to me.

Thanks,
-Guillaume

There is a report in JIRA about this.

2.1.1.GA doesn't allow @in in @Validator, because injection can't be done reliably.  Use Component.getInstance instead.

Seam 2.0.1.GA does not enforce @ByPassInterceptors on @Validator's. I'm using @ByPassInterceptors anyway and Component.getInstance() and it's working much better now.

What do I do if I need to outject something? Anyone know the programmatic API call to achieve that?

Thanks,
