Issue when injecting client components

[varghese.cv]

I was playing around with the HelloWorld example to get familiar with the Errai API, In particular the client components injection.

1. @EntryPoint
2. public class HelloWorldClient extends VerticalPanel {
3.     @Inject
4.     private MessageBus bus;
5.     ...
6.     void sendMessage() {
7.         MessageBuilder.createMessage()
8.                       .toSubject("HelloWorldService")
9.                       .signalling()
10.                       .withValue(message.getText())
11.                       .noErrorHandling()
12.                       .repliesTo(new MessageCallback() {
13.                           @Override
14.                           public void callback(Message message) {
15.                               System.out.println("Server responded with :" + message.getParts().get("text"));
16.                           }
17.                       })
18.                       .sendNowWith(bus);
19.     }
20. }

The above code snippet does not send any request to the server side.

If I change line number 18 to "sendNowWith(ErraiBus.get())" it works and I see the sysouts from the client and server side.

What is amiss here?

I am on errai-2.4.2.FINAL and gwt-2.5.1

Hi,

This should definitely work. Can you check if the injected bus instance is null? To be able to @Inject the bus you will either need to inherit from the errai-cdi or errai-ioc-bus-support module (or inherit it transitively through the errai-javaee-all module):

<inherits name="org.jboss.errai.ioc.support.bus.BusSupport" />

or

<inherits name="org.jboss.errai.enterprise.CDI" />

Can you maybe post your gwt.xml file?

Cheers,

Christian

Thanks Christian, adding org.jboss.errai.ioc.support.bus.BusSupport to gwt.xml, I also had to add errai-ioc-bus-support to maven's dependency list.

The gwt.xml now looks like this

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC "-//Google Inc.//DTD Google Web Toolkit 1.6//EN"
                "http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/releases/1.6/distro-source/core/src/gwt-module.dtd">
<module rename-to="HelloWorld">
    <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
    <inherits name="org.jboss.errai.bus.ErraiBus"/>
    <inherits name="org.jboss.errai.ioc.Container"/>
    <inherits name="org.jboss.errai.ioc.support.bus.BusSupport" />
</module>
