parsing expressions in messages.properties and Contexts.getEventContext().set

[ianmichell]

Hi,

Using Seam 2.1.1.GA I am injecting the messages map (@In Map<String, String> messages) and setting eventContext variables before using get on the map and I'm getting an exception that states that it cannot resolve the value... Code follows:

Code for a single purchase order in my document history
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contexts.getEventContext().set("trn.viewTransactions.poDocument", poList.get(0));
Contexts.getEventContext().set("trn.viewTransactions.supplierName", poList.get(0).getSupplierOrgs().first().getCommonName());
Contexts.getEventContext().set("trn.viewTransactions.poList", messages.get("mytransactions.messages.generated.link"));
Contexts.getEventContext().flush();
history.setActionDescription(messages.get("mytransactions.messages.generated.single"));
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected output: This requisition also generated this order: Order 12345 - ACME Suppliers
Expression: This requisition also generated this order: #{trn.viewTransactions.poList}

It throws an exception saying viewTransactions cannot be resolved on the seam namespace, this generally means that it can't find the values in the expression.

I have tried flushing the event context to see if it makes a difference (hence the flush above). Is this a bug, or am I doing the entire thing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

So far in my testing it seems that even though I am pushing stuff into ANY context, application, conversation, session, page, event (the bean is conversational), the seamresourcebundle refuses to interpolate those values, I've also tried logging directly the values being set using log.info("#{expression}") and get the same errors.

This is hugely frustrating.
