[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBSEAM-2764) Factory method does not create objects properly

Factory method does not create objects properly ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2764 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-2764 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB3 Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA Reporter: Bogdan Minciu Hello, It seems that my @Factory method is recognizing the created objects only in its command block. I have this class: @Stateful @Name("xtw") @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) @AutoCreate public class XTextSessionWrapper implements LocalXTextSessionWrapper { ... @In(required=false, create=true) @Out private XLanguage activeLanguage; public String getText(String identifier) { log.info("getText(1): identifier= #0, activeLanguage= #1", identifier, getActiveLanguage()); XTextEntry xte = xTextEntryDAO.findXTextEntry(identifier, getActiveLanguage()); log.info("getText(2): identifier= #0, activeLanguage= #1", identifier, getActiveLanguage()); xte.getXtext(); } @Factory(value="activeLanguage", autoCreate=true) public void initActiveLanguage() { XLanguage xl = xLanguageDAO.findXLanguageByIdentifier("ro"); log.info("initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to #0", xl.getIdentifier()); setActiveLanguage(xl); log.info("initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to #0", getActiveLanguage().getIdentifier()); } public XLanguage getActiveLanguage() { return activeLanguage; } public void setActiveLanguage(XLanguage activeLanguage) { this.activeLanguage = activeLanguage; } ... } And i am calling the getText() method. The method calling is as expected: 1. the injected activeLanguage is detecting that it has a null value, 2. the initActiveLanguage() factory method is called 3. then the getText() method is continuing its execution. But, the problem is that when the application exists the @Factory method block, the created objects: activeLanguage is lost and reported again as null. Here is the output: 12:43:48,203 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to ro 12:43:48,203 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to ro 12:43:48,703 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to ro 12:43:48,703 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] initActiveLanguage(1): activeLanguage initialized to ro 12:43:48,703 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] getText(1): identifier= com.brit.xcms.cms.Category.12.name, activeLanguage= null 12:43:49,234 INFO [XTextSessionWrapper] getText(2): identifier= com.brit.xcms.cms.Category.12.name, activeLanguage= null Where did I went wrong? Why is the activeLanguage factoried value lost when i leave the initActiveLanguage() method?
