[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - How to use the @Factory annotation?
Hi,
I'm new to Seam and I'm trying to use the @Factory annotation to initialize the
properties of a Managed Bean upon request of a jsf page, no matter if the request comes
from a JSF context or not (ex. from another servlet).
My bean is super simple (see included code below), it only has 2 properties (postDate and
postText) which need to be initialized to a value fetched from the database. I'd like
to make the initialization take place when the page is requested using a Factory method
(myFactory). The page gets displayed but the method myFactory is never called. What am I
doing wrong?
Thanks!
