I am having following experience after upgrade to Seam 2.1.0.GA from 2.0.2.EP.

During Identity.EVENT_LOGIN_FAILED processing, if certain condition is met, I automatically log user back in as in code below. This used to work fine before 2.1.0.GA. But now once identity.login() is invoked and I reach Identity.EVENT_LOGIN_SUCCESSFUL; all instances injected with @In in my authenticateUser component are NULL.

But if I change all injections from @In... to Component.getInstance(Identity.class, true) etc; then all works fine.

Anyone knows if this is by design?

@Name("authenticateUser")
public class AuthenticateUser implements java.io.Serializable {

    @In Identity
    private identity;

    @In(value="orgService", required=false, create=true)
    private OrgService orgService;

    @In(value = "userAuthenticated", required = true)
    private UserAuthenticated userAuthenticated;


    @Observer(Identity.EVENT_LOGIN_FAILED)
    public void loginFailed() {

       ....
       ....
      identity.getCredentials().setPassword(this.passwordProvided);
      identity.login();
    }

}
