Calling session-scoped components from session initialized observer goes into infinite loop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-892 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-892 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Scopes & Contexts Affects Versions: 1.1.1.Final Reporter: Nicklas Karlsson Assignee: Ales Justin Given a session scoped component {code} @SessionScoped public class Pinger implements Serializable { public void ping() { }; } {code} and a session initialized observer calling it {code} public class Observer { @Inject Pinger pinger; public void newSession(@Observes @Initialized HttpSession s) { pinger.ping(); } } {code} We go off into an infinite loop. Since Pinger doesn't exist, it is created and placed in the session scoped beanstore, which creates a session and fires off the observer. I'm not sure why the session isn't considered created at this point. This is bordering on feature since I think the result would be the same if servlet listeners would be used. Perhaps this could be worked around int the event bridge somehow so that the firing would be prevented if we're already handling the session created event...
