Update for those interested:

Working through this with Stuart Douglas, we demonstrated the BeanManager lookup of the Faces Converter class works from within the test web application. Since the lookup works from within the test app, Stuart figures this is a BDA  visibility problem. See WELD-846 (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-846).

Stuart already had a patch for WELD-846 in hand, which I demonstrated resolved SEAMFACES-82.

Yay!

Hello All,

I'm a little stumped with SEAMFACES-82 [1] - "Injection of managed beans in face converter fails"

I reproduced the error with a simple test case, and did some tracing/debugging, where I concluded the root of the problem to be that beanManager.getBeans(type) returns an empty set, when type is a Faces Converter class. (See the issue for more details).

So why would this be the case?  Could this be a Weld bug?  Or is something just missing?  What do I have to do to enable the BeanManager to provide instances of these Converters?

Thanks,
Brian Leathem
