[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1654) ManagedEntityIdentityInterceptor does not clear values in conversation context

ManagedEntityIdentityInterceptor does not clear values in conversation context ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-1654 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1654 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.0.BETA1 Reporter: Wolfgang Schwendt Assigned To: Gavin King Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.0.0.CR1 The method entityRefsToIds() of org.jboss.seam.persistence.ManagedEntityIdentityInterceptor is called after control returns from the intercepted target method. It iterates over the fields of the target object and saves the values of certain field in the conversation context. However, the curent implementation as of Seam 2.0.0.Beta1 saves only non-null values. This has the implication that when a previous invocation of this interceptor already saved a non-null value of a field in the conversation context, but a subsequent invocation of the target method sets this field in the target object to null, the old saved value in the conversation context won't be cleared. From the user perspective, this leads to an unexpected "caching behavior" of an old field value. See more detailed discussion at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=113258&a... It appears to be an issue that should be investigated, because it fundamentally affects the use of stateful components in Seam.
