Circular Injection causes Seam Injected variables to be null before invocation is complete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-4438 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4438 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0.GA Environment: I've only tested this on 2.1.0.GA so far, but I can't see anything in the release notes that would have fixed this in other versions. I will test in 2.2.0.GA soon. Reporter: Tim Evers OK, so If we have Seam bean A and Seam bean B and Seam bean C; A { @In B b @In C c public void doSomethingWithBs() { b.doSomething(); //IMPORTANT LINE 1 c.doSomethingDifferent(); //IMPORTANT LINE 2 } public MyDomainObj getCurrentObj() { return myVar; } } B { @In A a; public void doSomething() { process(a.getCurrentObj); //LINE THAT CAUSES BUG } private void process(MyDomainObj x) { .... } } OK, so the situation is this on line marked with //IMPORTANT LINE 1 all injected variables are set. The method in Seam bean B gets executed and after that line of code has executed and the program is about to execute line marked with //IMPORTANT LINE 2 the injected variables are null. Thus I get a null pointer exception on variable c; See my forum reference link for a more detailed example. -- 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
