Hello,

I've got a basic EntiyHome object i would like to test:

@Name("userHome")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class UserHome extends EntityHome<User>
{

     private static final long serialVersionUID = -1655875997161469493L;
     @RequestParameter Long userId;
    @Logger private Log log;

     String confirmPassword = null;

    @Override
    public Object getId()
    {
        if (userId == null)
        {
            return super.getId();
        }
        else
        {
            return userId;
        }
    }
    
    @Factory("user")
    public User getUserInstance()
    {
         return this.getInstance();
    }

    
    @Override @Begin
    public void create() {
        super.create();
    }
}

Any test instantiating this object fails:

public class UserTest extends SeamTest 
{
     @Test
     public void userCreationTest() throws Exception
     {
          new ComponentTest() 
          {
               @Override
               protected void testComponents() throws Exception
               {
                    

                    invokeMethod("#{userHome.persist}");

               }
          }.run();               
     }
}

The stacktrace:

The error seems to be caused by the @Begin annotation i use to put the Home object in a longliving scope.

Anyone an idea what i'm doing wrong here?
