[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Can't inject into an Entity Bean...

Whats the preferred solution to this: Given: | @Entity | @Name("user") | public class User implements Serializable { | ... | | @NotNull(message="required") | @Length(min = 5, max = 15) | public String getPassword() { | return password; | } | | public void setPassword(String password) { | this.password = password; | } | ... | } | What I REALLY want to do is this: | @Entity | @Name("user") | public class User implements Serializable { | | @In(create=true) | EncryptionControllerI encryptionController; | | ... | | @NotNull(message="required") | @Length(min = 5, max = 15) | public String getPassword() { | return encryptionController.decrypt(password);; | } | | public void setPassword(String password) { | this.password = encryptionController.encrypt(password); | } | ... | } | Now you can't (it seems) inject into entity beans... So I move the encryption outside the bean... but now that makes my password over the 15 limit... so when I try to save it then I cant... so I make the max = 15 into max = 30 to accommodate the bigger crypted password... but then some moron puts a password in that 30 !! so that won't work. I wanted to cryption to be as close to the @Entity as possible so the only other option is to move all the cryption code into the @Entity (which means it has to go to the OS to read the key and create the cyfer which is really poor as it will do it every time an @Entity is created).
