Injection in a Converter

[christine1]

I have a custom converter that needs to read data from a database in order to get an object for a string.This is my code:

@Name("countryConverter")
public class CountryConverter implements javax.faces.convert.Converter {

    @In
    private CountryDao countryDao;
...

But the CountryDao doesn't get injected. I also tried

@Converter(id=countryConverter)
@BypassInterceptors
public class ...

but that didn't work either. Am I missing something? We use jboss-seam-2.2.1.CR1

Hi xtine,

seam injection and outjection is provided by interceptor methods and because converters have to be annotated with @BypassInterceptors injection doesn't work. But there is a legal workaround:

countryDao = (CountryDao) Component.getInstance("componentsNameOfCountryDao");
