    Out annotation and page parameter

    hubaghdadi

      Hi.
      Consider this code snippet:


      private String isbn;
      @Out(required = true)
      private Book book;
      
      public String loadBook() {
        book = findBook(isbn);
      }



      isbn is a page parameter.


      I got an exception during running the test class for the previous code indicating that an @Out property can't be null.


      My guess is that after setting the isbn page parameter via setIsbn(String) method, Seam is trying to outject the book property which it is null at this point, right?


      Thanks.

              Correct. Page parameters are set before page actions are called.
