Kukeltje - you must have ESP anonymous wrote : 15.2. Annotations for bijection | | The next two annotations control bijection. These attributes occur on component instance variables or property accessor methods. | | @In | | @In | | Specifies that a component attribute is to be injected from a context variable at the beginning of each component invocation. If the context variable is null, an exception will be thrown. | | @In(required=false) | | Specifies that a component attribute is to be injected from a context variable at the beginning of each component invocation. The context variable may be null. | | @In(create=true) | | Specifies that a component attribute is to be injected from a context variable at the beginning of each component invocation. If the context variable is null, an instance of the component is instantiated by Seam. | | @In(value="contextVariableName") | | Specifies the name of the context variable explicitly, instead of using the annotated instance variable name. | | @In(value="#{customer.addresses['shipping']}") | | Specifies that a component attribute is to be injected by evaluating a JSF EL expression at the beginning of each component invocation. | | * | | value ? specifies the name of the context variable. Default to the name of the component attribute. Alternatively, specifies a JSF EL expression, surrounded by #{...}. | * | | create ? specifies that Seam should instantiate the component with the same name as the context variable if the context variable is undefined (null) in all contexts. Default to false. | * | | required ? specifies Seam should throw an exception if the context variable is undefined in all contexts. Where in this documentation is it stated that @In(create=true) results in looking up a reference to an EJB from JNDI? Maybe when create=true, and no instance of the named component (EJB) is available is any scope, then Seam takes that as a cue to look up the component (EJB) from JNDI - that's fine with me, I think that behavior should be explicitly added to the documentation; and add an example of this. I looked carefully through the documentation before posting this question ... so how do your responses help with understanding my initial issue or answer the questions subsequently posed?
