Hi
We're developing a site based on MyFaces, Facelets and Seam, and now we're a little concerned about the performance - it's a bit slow. While analyzing the code I found out some strange Seam behavior.
Background: All our Seam beans are normal JavaBeans (no EJB beans). We'r running the web application in Tomcat (no EE container).
Case: I have a SESSION scoped bean called mainBean with (among other things) a @DataModel getter, a @DataModelSelection setter and an @In setter like the following fragment.
| @In(create = true)
| public void setWebUser(WebUserBean webUser) {
| log.debug(" === Injecting @In 'webUser' (#0 times).", bullCounter3++);
| this.webUser = webUser;
| }
|
| @DataModel
| public List<MooxObject> getMainListItems() {
| log.debug(" === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (#0 times).", bullCounter++);
| if (isCurrentList())
| return currentMainObjectAsList().getListItems();
| else
| return null;
| }
|
|
| protected MooxObject selectedListItem;
|
| @DataModelSelection("mainListItems")
| public void setSelectedListItem(MooxObject selectedListItem) {
| log.debug(" === Injecting @DataModelSelection 'setSelectedListItem' (#0 times).", bullCounter2++);
| this.selectedListItem = selectedListItem;
| }
|
The page that uses mainBean can contain either nothing, an object or a list. We use facelets' <ui:include> to alter the page depending on what it contains.
The strange thing is that the annotated getters and setters are called multiple times for each request. I've included three different log outputs to visualize it:
With an empty page (no reference to @DataModel):
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 40] before phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 40] before phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6)
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (54 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (27 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (55 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (56 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (28 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (57 times).
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6)
|
The strange thing is that @DataModel getter is called twice, although never referenced. And webUser bean is injected 4 times.
With a single object page (no reference to @DataModel):
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 40] before phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 40] before phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6)

| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (298 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (561 times).

| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (299 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (563 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (564 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (300 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (565 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (566 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (301 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (567 times).

| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6)

Now we have 5 @DataModel gets and 10 @In injections. The @DataModelSelection is injected twice.
With a list (two reference to @DataModel in one Tomahawk <t:dataTable>):
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 40] before phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RESTORE_VIEW(1)

| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (571 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (572 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 268] ** MainBean - setCurrentObject from: [USER/USER:68 (norman)] to: [LIST/LIST:0 (lists.alias.members)]

| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (310 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (575 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (576 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 130] === Injecting @DataModelSelection 'setSelectedListItem' (231 times).
| (and a fiew more hundred injections...)
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (425 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (797 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (798 times).

| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 118] === Reading @DataModel 'getMainListItems' (426 times).
| [com.fastsearch.w2p.moox.beans.MainBean - 48] === Injecting @In 'webUser' (799 times).
| [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener - 84] after phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6)
|
It seems like every time mainBean is accessed (several times in each row in the table) it's reinitialized.
And now my questions:
| * Are we doing something terribly wrong? Why do we get all these injections?
|
| * For best performance - Should we use several small beans with a lot of dependencies, or a fiew bigger beans?
|
| * For best performance - Should we try to have big scopes (like SESSION) to reduce the number of bean instanses, or should we try to minimize the scope (to EVENT)?
|
|
| Finally I'd like to say that except for this injection mystery, Seam really rocks! (I can't imagine JSF without it...)
