[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-3404) Extended Identity component is not being loaded during Initialization process

Extended Identity component is not being loaded during Initialization process ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3404 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3404 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core, Security Affects Versions: 2.1.0.BETA1 Environment: Windows XP SP2, JDK 1.5.0_16, JBoss AS 4.2.2.GA, Eclipse JEE Europa Winter (3.3.2), JBoss Tools 2.1.2.GA, JBoss Seam 2.1.0.BETA1 and 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT # 309 Reporter: Luis Tama Assignee: Shane Bryzak Fix For: 2.1.0.CR1 Attachments: home.page.xml, Identity.java I have this Extended Identity component, which lets me render different home pages according to the user roles: @Name("org.jboss.seam.security.identity") @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) @Install(precedence = Install.APPLICATION) @BypassInterceptors @Startup public class Identity extends org.jboss.seam.security.Identity { private static final String DEFAULT_HOME_PAGE = "/home/home.xhtml"; private String homePage = DEFAULT_HOME_PAGE; // getter and setter for homePage, and business logic // and some other important properties related to my business model... } In Seam 2.1.0.BETA1, it works fine: ... 21:53:16,159 INFO [Initialization] Installing components... ... 21:53:16,921 INFO [Component] Component: org.jboss.seam.security.identity, scope: SESSION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.ostion.siplacad.session.Identity ... In Seam 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT # 303, it's not being loaded: ... 21:55:54,125 INFO [Initialization] Installing components... ... 21:55:55,500 INFO [Component] Component: org.jboss.seam.security.identity, scope: SESSION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.jboss.seam.security.Identity ... 21:55:56,765 INFO [Initialization] two components with same name, higher precedence wins: org.jboss.seam.security.identity ... So I can't access identity.homePage from my webapp. I can see this exception in debug.seam: Exception during request processing: Caused by javax.el.MethodNotFoundException with message: "Method not found: org.jboss.seam.security.Identity(a)9527ee.renderHomePage()" ... I will not post the full stack trace, because the obvious reason for the problem is that the extended component is not being loaded by Seam. I checked Seam source code, comparing versions BETA1 and SNAPSHOT # 303: Class org.jboss.seam.Component has no changes between versions. Class org.jboss.seam.security.Identity has changed, but i don't think there is a problem there. Class org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization does have some changes, specially regarding hotDeploymentStrategy. I guess there is a problem is with the hacks over there. Please check this. I must tell I switched to the SNAPSHOT to not have the "NPE with hot Redeployment" issue, but now I can't even see my webapp!!
