Logging from within an entity bean

[josdaniel]

>> It doesn't matter if you declare the log variable static or not — it will work either way, except for entity bean components which require the log variable to be static.

The above snippet is from the reference guide.

@Entity
class User {

    @Logger
    private static Log log;
}

I've tried to declare the log variable as static in my @Entity class, but it throws a NullPointerException on access. Is this a bug?

The @Logger annotation will only work for Seam components, i.e. annotate the class with @Name(...).
