Vague exception when using a factory on a page-scoped component --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4032 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4032 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Reporter: Matthew Lieder The following code will cause an unhelpful NPE to be thrown by JSF when the factory is accessed: @Name("someComponent") @Scope(ScopeType.PAGE) public class SomeComponent implements Serializable { @Factory("someVar") public String getSomeVar() { return null; } } While I believe I remember reading that using that particular type of factory method on a page-scoped component isn't supported (supported by the fact that removing the @Scope makes it work), the exception should at least be somewhat helpful in debugging the problem. NPE's with no messages are about as unfriendly as one can get. -- 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
