Hello

I have a facelet view that triggers an page action when it loads.

<page view-id="/userPage.xhtml">
 <param name="member" value="#{visitedUserAction.member}" />
 <action
 execute="#{visitedUserAction.initContentProviderAccount}" />
 </page>

@Stateful
@Name("visitedUserAction")
@AutoCreate
public class VisitedUserActionBean implements VisitedUserAction {

 private String segment;

 private String member;

 @EJB
 private ContentProviderAccountDao contentProviderAccountDao;

 @Out(required = false, scope = ScopeType.SESSION)
 private ContentProviderAccount contentProviderAccount;

 @Logger
 private Log log;

 public void initContentProviderAccount() {
 log.info("getting current visited contentProviderAccount for page=" + member);

 ContentProviderAccount contentProviderAccount = null;
 try {
 contentProviderAccount = contentProviderAccountDao.findByStageUrlName(member);
 log.info("fetched contentProviderAccount=" + contentProviderAccount);
 if (contentProviderAccount.getProviderSegment().name().toLowerCase()
 .equals(segment.toLowerCase())) {
 log.info("setting contentProviderAccount to " + contentProviderAccount);
 this.contentProviderAccount = contentProviderAccount;
 } else {
 // fixme: redirect to either user not found page or search page
 throw new RuntimeException("user does not exist in segment, however there is one in: "
 + contentProviderAccount.getProviderSegment().toString());
 }

 } catch (ContentProviderAccountDaoException e) {
 // fixme: redirect to either user not found page or search page
 throw new RuntimeException("user is not found ");
 }

 }

 @Create
 public void logthis() {
 log.info("will this run?");
 }

 public String getSegment() {
 return segment;
 }

 public void setSegment(String segment) {
 this.segment = segment;
 }

 public String getMember() {
 return member;
 }

 public void setMember(String member) {
 this.member = member;
 }

 @Destroy
 @Remove
 public void destroy() {
 }

}

Then I want to find the sessionscoped variable and inject it into another stateful bean.

@javax.ejb.Stateful
@Name("artistpresentaton")
public class ArtistPresentationActionBean extends com.yourstardom.middle.ArtistPresentationActionBase
 implements com.yourstardom.middle.ArtistPresentationActionLocal,
 com.yourstardom.middle.ArtistPresentationActionRemote {

 @In
 private ContentProviderAccount contentProviderAccount;

 ...
}

This works fine when I do a non-faces request to the view but when I execute an action in the ArtistPresentationActionBean from the view and the response is rendered, contentProviderAccount is null and I get the exception

Caused by javax.el.ELException with message: "javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: In attribute requires non-null value: artistpresentation.contentProviderAccount"

why?
