[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-3273) @Startup + @Create on session-scoped bean broken in Seam 2.1

@Startup + @Create on session-scoped bean broken in Seam 2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3273 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3273 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Environment: clean Tomcat 6.0.16, Seam 2.1 build 281 Reporter: Przemyslaw Jaskierski Assignee: Shane Bryzak Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.1.0.CR1 Attachments: issueDemo.war, src.zip In 1.x, 2.x and Seam 2.1 build from ~march 2008 it was possible to access, for example, cookies info or other http request attributes at session creation time. It was extremely useful to fetch f.e. user-specific data from database to create custom view etc, (described f.e. here http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3963032). It is not working anymore. Both FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() and ServletContexts.getInstance().getRequest() now return null within @Create method. @Name("sessionStateBacker") @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) @Startup public class UserStateBacker implements Serializable { @Create public void sessionCreated() { FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); if (facesContext == null) { System.out.println("FacesContext is null in 2.1.0 but worked fine in 2.0.3"); } //facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestCookieMap(); } }
