[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-3569) Clarify docs on depends= for facesContext

Clarify docs on depends= for facesContext ----------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3569 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3569 Project: Seam Issue Type: Task Components: Documentation Issues Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1, 2.0.3.CR1 Reporter: Samuel Mendenhall Priority: Minor The following example results in a null FacesContext: @Startup(depends = "org.jboss.seam.faces.facesContext") @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION) @Name("SomeBean") public class SomeBean { @Logger private Log log; @Create public void init() { FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); log.info("FacesContext: " + facesContext); } } The docs are misleading in the sense that it promotes the idea that depends = "org.jboss.seam.faces.facesContext" means this bean will have access to the facesContext if it depends on it. This is not true as there isn't a guarantee at this point that the underlying JSF implementation is started. This may affect more than just the depends on facesContext, it would be nice to have a general guideline detailed on what and what can not be relied on. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
