[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Work started: (SEAMVALIDATE-7) ConstraintValidator instances created incorrectly

ConstraintValidator instances created incorrectly ------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMVALIDATE-7 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMVALIDATE-7 Project: Seam Validation Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Assignee: Gunnar Morling Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.0.0.Final The current way of creating a ConstraintValidator instance is not correct: {code} AnnotatedType<T> type = beanManager.createAnnotatedType(key); InjectionTarget<T> it = beanManager.createInjectionTarget(type); CreationalContext<T> ctx = beanManager.createCreationalContext(null); T instance = it.produce(ctx); it.inject(instance, ctx); it.postConstruct(instance); return instance; {code} Since an AnnotatedType and InjectionTarget are created for every ConstraintValidator creation, it is not possible for a thirdparty extension to wrap these metadata during container startup. The correct way of creating a ConstraintValidator instance would be: {code} Set<Bean<?>> beans = beanManager.getBeans(key); Bean<?> bean = beanManager.resolve(beans); CreationalContext<?> ctx = beanManager.createCreationalContext(bean); return (T) beanManager.getReference(bean, key, ctx); {code}
