All,

I have a Seam component that should be initialized during startup:

@Startup

@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)

@Name("PropertiesLoader")

public class HDcomPropertiesLoader {

 private String configDir;

 

 ...

The value for the configDir property is environment specific and is therefore externalized and set in components.xml:

<component name="hdcomPropertiesLoader">

   <property name="configDir">aCertainPath

   </property> 

</component>

I want now to read in some properties files during startup. Therefore I have added a corresponding functionality in the constructor of the class. The problem is however that Seam calls the setter for configDir after the constructor so I cannot set the path before. As a workaround I put now the functionality in the setter instead of the constructor, but that seems of course weired to me.

Is there a reason why this order is in place or is it a bug?

Regards,
Christian
