I have some stateless beans injected into a stateful bean that are only required at destroy time. Currently when destroy is invoked, these beans are null. Code is as follows: @Name("sessionTimeoutHandler") | @Stateful | @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) | public class SessionTimeoutHandlerHome implements SessionTimeoutHandler, Serializable | { | private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; | | @Logger | private Log log; | | @In(create=true) | private SessionDao sessionDao; // this is stateless | | @In(create=true) | private AuditLog auditLog; // and so is this | | private Session currentSession; | | ... | | @Remove @Destroy | public void destroy() { | // Session has timed out, so update the user session entry and perform | // cleanup. | currentSession.setClosed(new Date()); | | sessionDao.merge(currentSession); | | auditLog.addAuditEntry("User session timeout for session id #0" currentSession.getId()); | | log.info("User session timeout for session id #0" currentSession.getId()); | } | } Should I be getting the stateless beans injected at this point? I'm sure I've seen this working in the past. When creating the bean I did notice what I believe to be inconsistent behaviour with respect to @Logger injection. I initially created the bean using method 1 below, by simply specifying the bean as an @Out parameter and instantiating the object within an action. Using this method, the @Logger object on SessionTimeoutHandler was null when @Destroy was called. However, when I changed to method 2 the logger was available - but still no stateless beans. Creation Method 1 - Using @Out | @Name("login") | @Stateful | @Scope(ScopeType.EVENT) | public class LoginAction implements Login, Serializable | { | @Out(required=false) | private SessionTimeoutHandler sessionTimeoutHandler; | | | public String login() { | ... | | SessionTimeoutHandler sessionTimeoutHandler = new SessionTimeoutHandler(); | | // create a session timeout handler | sessionTimeoutHandler.setCurrentSession(currentSession); | } | } | | | Creation Method 2 - Using @In(create = true) | @Name("login") | @Stateful | @Scope(ScopeType.EVENT) | public class LoginAction implements Login, Serializable | { | @In(create = true) | @Out(required = false) | private SessionTimeoutHandler sessionTimeoutHandler; | | | public String login() { | ... | | // create a session timeout handler | sessionTimeoutHandler.setCurrentSession(currentSession); | } | } I am using Seam 1.1 CR2.
