Outjection in subclass of EntityQuery<T> generated by seam-gen

[smilind]

Hi,

I am using seam-gen generated code which is very simple class as below.

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Out;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.BypassInterceptors;
import org.jboss.seam.framework.EntityQuery;
import java.util.Arrays;

@Name("productList")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class ProductList extends EntityQuery<Product> {

     private static final String EJBQL = "select product from Product product";

     private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = {
               "lower(product.network) like lower(concat(#{productList.product.id},'%'))",
               "lower(product.source) like lower(concat(#{productList.product.source},'%'))",
               "lower(product.zone) like lower(concat(#{productList.product.zone},'%'))",};
          
     private product product;
     
     public productList() {
          setEjbql(EJBQL);
          setRestrictionExpressionStrings(Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS));
          setMaxResults(25);
     }

     public product getproduct() {
          return product;
     }
     
}

I am displaying the list of products in a xhtml file generated by seam in table format in 7 columns which has around 30 products.

What I am observing is the getProduct() method is called hundreds of times.

Question - Why getProduct() method is called hundreds of times?

I tried to use @BypassInterceptor for getProduct() method but still it is getting called hundreds of time.

Then I tried to outject variable product by using @Out. It gave me exception org.jboss.seam.RequiredException: @Out attribute requires non-null value.

After that I tried to use @Out for getProduct() method instead of product variable. I changed the method as below

     
@Out (scope=ScopeType.SESSION)
public Product getproduct() {
     if (product == null) {
           product = new product();
     }
     return product;
}

Now the exception is gone but getProduct() method is getting called for hundreds of times.

Question - Is outjection work in EntityQuery? or it only work in beans, SLSB, SFSB?

Can somebody help me to resolve this issue?
