bean instantiated every time, thow it has @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)

[kux]

Hello,

I have a bean that I want to use a singletone. I place it in application scope, but I notice that it gets instantiated over and over again.

@Name("fileUploader")
public class FileUploader {

        // TODO use Seam DI
        @In(scope=ScopeType.APPLICATION)
        private ResourceLocator resourceLocator = new ResourceLocatorImpl();
}

@Name("resourceLocator")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
public class ResourceLocatorImpl implements ResourceLocator {
}

So, in the previous example, resourceLocator is instantiated each time :)

Thank you in advance

This what you do here is wrong. You explicitly instantiate ResourceLocatorImpl(), so a new instance of ResourceLocatorImpl will be created every time an instance of FileUploader os created.
Do it the following way:

@Name("fileUploader")
public class FileUploader {

        @In
        private ResourceLocator resourceLocator;
}

@Name("resourceLocator")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class ResourceLocatorImpl implements ResourceLocator {
}

Of course... Didn't use DI when I first prototyped the class, and then when I added it I forgot the explicit instantiation there...
