Websphere 6.1 in POJO mode using Seam 2.1.2-SNAPSHOT: TypeNotPresentException on PostConstruct in PersistenceProvider

[jkronegg]

I updated from Seam 2.1.1.GA to Seam 2.1.2-SNAPSHOT to get JBSEAM-3032 solved. I'm using IBM JVM.

When deploying the WAR on Websphere 6.1, the following stacktrace occurs:

java.lang.RuntimeException: could not create Component: org.jboss.seam.persistence.persistenceProvider
  at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:1198)
  ...
Caused by: java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: Type javax.annotation.PostConstruct not present
  at com.ibm.oti.reflect.AnnotationHelper.getAnnotation(AnnotationHelper.java:38)
  ...
  at org.jboss.seam.Component.hasAnnotation(Component.java:1160)
  ...

Dan introduced the following code between the two versions:

@javax.annotations.PostConstruct
public void init() {}

IMHO, this annotation comes from the wrong package: it should come from org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.PostConstruct, a class introduced in the very similar issue was raised by Denis Forveille in JBSEAM-3726, but not yet in the 2.1.2-snapshot version.

What do you think ? Dan/Denis?

It seems that I forgot to tell which file I mention the two version. There it is: org.jboss.seam.persistence.PersistenceProvider

I thing you're right.

The code in PersistenceProvider should use the newly created org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.PostConstruct annotation as the init() method does not conform to the specs (same reeason as in JBSEAM-3726)

You should open a JIRA for this

Thanks Denis, I opened JBSEAM-4093
