entityhome as attribute of my class

[alexeicu]

I'm trying to use the entityhome as attribute of my manager class

@Name("editManager")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class EditManager {
     
     @Logger     Log log;
     @In StatusMessages statusMessages;
     
     
     private BookHome bookHome;


        public BookEditManager() {
          this.bookHome = new BookHome();


          
     

in my editPage.xhtml I have this:

<h:form>
    <rich:panel>
        <f:facet name="header">Book Details</f:facet>

 
        <s:decorate id="id" template="/layout/display.xhtml" >
             <ui:define name="label">Id</ui:define>
            <h:outputText value="#{bookEditManager.bookHome.instance.id}"/>
        </s:decorate>
        <s:decorate id="title" template="/layout/display.xhtml" >
             <ui:define name="label">Id</ui:define>
            <h:inputText value="#{bookEditManager.bookHome.instance.title}"/>
        </s:decorate>

                

        <div style="clear:both"/>

    </rich:panel>       
          <h:commandButton action="#{bookEditManager.bookHome.update}" value="Salvar" />
     </h:form>

When I clic the save button the book entity is saved but I got an error

If BookHome is a Seam component, you cannot use new. Use

@In(create=true) 
private BookHome bookHome;

Thanks it is OK now, but I have another question,

How can I set to null the default messages added to statusMessages when I invoke a method in my bookHome such as bookHome.update(),

For example if I have this:

String save(){
  bookHome.update();
  secondEntityHome.update();
  thirdEntityHome.update();
  .
  .
  .

  statusMessages.add(Severity.INFO, "My custom message");

}

I got one message for each update method from entityHome, and I just want to show my custom message, How can I avoid this ?.

Thanks

Remove your custom message and put following to your constructor :

setUpdatedMessage(new Expressions().createValueExpression("#{messages['yourCustomMessageKey']}"));
