Confusing IllegalStateException: WELD-000340: A request must be associated with the context when mixing JSF/CDI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3196 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3196 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: CDI / Weld, JSF Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Final Environment: [clock-jsf-test 846]$ uname -a Darwin scotts-imac 13.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Thu Jan 16 19:40:37 PST 2014; root:xnu-2422.90.20~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 [clock-jsf-test 847]$ java -version java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode) Also seen with: java version "1.7.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) Reporter: Scott Stark Assignee: Jozef Hartinger Fix For: 8.2.0.CR1, 9.0.0.Alpha1 I have a simple web app doing injection into a JSF managed bean using @EJB. When the managed bean lifecycle and duration is described using the JSF @ManagedBean and @ApplicationScoped I get a "IllegalStateException: WELD-000340 ..." error when loading the welcome page. The only workaround I have seen is to disable implicit CDI usage, but the web app is using CDI, so that is not appropriate. The problem seems to be a lack of understanding what is going on between the weld and jsf containers. I understand that the JSF @ManagedBean is deprecated in favor of CDI @Named, but it would be nice if we can provide better feedback when @ManagedBean is used along with CDI. The following git repo provides a complete test application along with the steps to cause the error as well as how to fix it by only using CDI annotations. https://github.com/starksm64/clock-jsf-test
