@In(create=true, value="#{...}") throws exceptions if required = false is not specified --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2437 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2437 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.1.CR1 Reporter: Ajay Gupta I have a SEAM component as follows: @Name("customer") @Scope(CONVERSATION) public class Customer { @In (create=true) private Address address; @Factory(value="address") public void getAddress() { this.address = ....//logic to populate address attribute in Customer. } public void doSomething() { .... } } In this case, when Customer.doSomething() is called and if customer.address = null, then the code as shown above fails with an exception stating: "non-null address value should not be null". To make the code above to work, I have to add required = false to the @In annotation. SEAM still calls the factory method for address to populate the Address attribute in Customer before calling Customer.doSomething(). I would think that if create=true is specified on an @In annotation and required attribute is not specified on @In, then an exception should only be thrown if the attribute is truly null (if the attribute can be given a non-null value using a @Factory method, then required=true should not be enforced). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
