Problens with s:convertEntity

[caiogallo]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the s:convertEntity but its cause this exception:

org.hibernate.ejb.EntityManagerFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.persistence.EntityManager

My project is using Seam 2.2, weblogic 10.3 with Eclipse.

I managed to go through several configuration problem with the help of google and also the reference guide of Seam but that I found few things listed, it's almost making me give up the seam and return to the ADF.

Does anyone have any idea what this problem?

Thank you very much

Hi.

I added this line in my components.xml and the error message has changed to

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.jboss.seam.framework.HibernateEntityIdentifier.<init>(HibernateEntityIdentifier.java:13)
        at org.jboss.seam.ui.HibernateEntityLoader.createIdentifier(HibernateEntityLoader.java:28)
        at org.jboss.seam.ui.AbstractEntityLoader.put(AbstractEntityLoader.java:46)
        at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

Any Idea?

Thanks

Please post the code where you're experiencing the error (the form field you're populating with your entity converter, the entity you're converting, the line in components.xml you changed and eventually other related info)...

Anyway, <s:convertEntity/> does its work but has several drawbacks you need to be aware of when using it. First, it takes the entity or entities you're converting, stores them in a conversation-scoped map and returns the index of each entity in the map so that it can retrieve them back from that same map when submitting. So, <s:convertEntity/> must be used in a conversation so that the entity cache survives postbacks and navigation.

For this reason, I frequently find entity conversion to be overshoot and just pass the entity primary key (if using surrogate keys) and use that as needed.

The exception you're experiencing means your HibernatePersistenceProvider or Session do not exist. Apparently, your persistence configuration has some issues.

Hello Emir, thanks for response.

My form's code is;


|...
<rich:comboBox value="#{escopo.ataEscopo}"
     defaultLabel="#{msg['combo.selecionar']}">
     <s:selectItems var="escopo"
          value="#{escopoAction.listaTodosExcetoSelecionado}"
          label="#{escopo.desEscopo}" itemValue="#{escopo}" />
     <s:convertEntity />
</rich:comboBox>`
...|

The components.xml:


|<core:init jndi-pattern="@jndiPattern@" />

<core:manager concurrent-request-timeout="500"
     conversation-timeout="120000" conversation-id-parameter="cid"
     parent-conversation-id-parameter="pid" />

<web:hot-deploy-filter url-pattern="*.seam" />

<persistence:entity-manager-factory name="entityManager" auto-create="true" persistence-unit-name="SgiAtaEletronica" />|

My Entity:

Hi Emir

I encontred the solution of my problem. I'm not using Seam managed transaction, I was using EJB to manage my transactions.

After change to Seam, the convertEntity works fine.

Thanks for help.
