Why the annotation @End and Begin can't be inherited?

[kirpi4ik]

Hi,

I'm looking at the Begin and End annotation interfaces and I see that this two are not supporting the inheritance, however the @Create and @Destroy interfaces are have inheritance support?Why? If I would like to supperclass my seam component which have conversation scope, I would like to put all lifecycle logic in the abstract class. I don't want to put the same annotations(@Begin, @End) to all my implementation classes because the are having same lifecycle.

thanks,
Dima

Have you tried a workaround:

abstract class superclass {

   public void begin() {
      Conversation.instance().begin();
   }
   
   public void end() {
      Conversation.instance().end();
   }
}

Thanks Shervin,

I tried this solution in the past, but I wasn't sure that is the right approach.

with best regards,
Dima
