| @Logger | private Log log; | i even tried | @Logger("substanceSetRun") | private Log log; | Then of course accessing it with "log.debug" ... but its the log object thats null. Interestingly enough I've noticed, that its only null when using it with a Session Bean. When i am using a regular Java Bean it works fine. I am honestly guessing its some configuration. They had Seam 1.2 here, and I'm upgrading them to Seam 2.0. They used seam-gen here before to set it up. So i have replaced ALL their old jar files with a new seam-gen's one. And I have replaced the build.xml with a new one as well. So this code WAS working before I started the upgrade path.
