scope of a user when registering

[juanvinuales]

Hello,

I'm developing a quite simple seam application that lead me to a quite simple question.
I have a 'user' entity named 'usuario', scoped to SESSION:

@Entity
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("usuario")
public class Usuario ...{
 private String name;
 private String email;
 ...
}

However, when registering a new user, i use a conversation, managed by the ejb 'registroAction':

@Name("registroAction")
public class RegistroAction ... {
 @In
 @Out
 private Usuario usuario;
 ...
}

Then, as you can see, when the registering begins, a user is injected in the 'registroAction' component to manage the whole process.
The problem is the following:

- as 'usuario' has a session scope, leaving the registration page and re-entering, causes the form to repopulate with the values yo eventually entered before:

<h:inputText id="email" value="#{usuario.email}" ...>

- if a user if logged in, and enters the registration page, the whole form is populated with the actual user values (I've not try this yet, but i guess that is what will happen)

what's the correct approach to solve this?

thanks in advance,
Juan

Hello,

Check out section Components with multiple roles of chapter 4 The contextual component model in the documentation. It describes a similar case to yours. (For Seam 2.1.1 it is section 4.2.9.)

This solved my problem,
that chapter was exactly my case,

i have done something like:

@Entity
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("usuario")
@Role(name="nuevoUsuario", scope=CONVERSATION)
public class Usuario ... {
 ...
}

and then using this nuevoUsuario variable as the component name for the registering pages, and injecting it through:

@In
@Out
private Usuario nuevoUsuario;

thanks!
