[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Access to EntityManager in authenticator?

I am trying to add the new security features to my app, and am getting stuck trying to authenticate. Here is my class (almost exactly the same as the docs) | @Name("authenticator") | public class Authenticator { | | @In | private EntityManager entityManager; | | @Logger Log log; | public boolean authenticate(String username, String password, Set<String> roles) | { | log.info("Authenticating user " + username); | log.info("em " + entityManager); | try | { | User user = (User) entityManager.createQuery( | "from User where name = :username and password = :password") | .setParameter("username", username) | .setParameter("password", password) | .getSingleResult(); | return true; | } | catch (NoResultException ex) | { | FacesMessages.instance().add("Invalid username/password"); | return false; | } | catch (Exception ex) | { | log.error("Caught", ex); | FacesMessages.instance().add("Could not log in.. Please contact admin"); | return false; | } | } | } | It throws an exception saying: org.jboss.seam.RequiredException: In attribute requires value for component: authenticator.entityManager but if I change @In | private EntityManager entityManager; to @PersistenceContext | private EntityManager entityManager; I get a null pointer exception.. Am I missing something, am I supposed to be outjecting the EntityManager somewhere? thanks, Dustin View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4009605#...
