[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Entity Injection question

In the scenario you describe, the only time an entity is going to be automatically created is if it is a named Seam component and it has the annotation @AutoCreate. Is this how your entity is annotated? ... | @Entity | @Name("someEntity") | @AutoCreate | public class SomeEntity { | ... Otherwise you would have to have a factory method somewhere... @Factory(value="someEntity") | public SomeEntity initSomeEntity() { | return new SomeEntity(); | } You have to specify when Seam should create instances of components. As far as the following code... | public void submit() { | if (someEntity.someProperty != null) { | log.debug("Entity's Property IS NOT NULL"); | else { | log.debug("Entity's Property IS NULL"); | } | } This code is necessary depending on what you're doing. If you performing validation this could actually be done through <s:validate> or <s:validateAll> and use of @NotNull on your entity attribute. Hope that helps.
