#1 @In(create=true) not working

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I used this archetype to setup my seam project. For some reason, @In(create=true) doesn't seem to work in the resulting generated code. For example, say I have the following entity:

@Entity
@Name("account")
@Table(name = "account")
public class Account extends AbstractEntity {
// .... etc...
}

When I try to inject an instance of the above entity to:

@Stateful
@Scope(CONVERSATION)
@Name(AccountServiceLocal.NAME)
public class AccountServiceBean extends AbstractEntityServiceBean<Account> implements AccountServiceLocal {

@Logger
Log log;

@In(create = true)
@Out(required = true)
private Account account;

// .....

}

the @In(create=true) annotation is supposed to create a new instance of account if one does not already exist, but all I get is the following exception:

I've already tried adding @AutoCreate to the entity, but same result. Just curious if you've encountered this issue..

thanks much

FYI, I used seam-gen to create a new project, copied the java code and xhtml files from the project generated from seam/maven archetype into the seam-gen project and tested. The seam-gen project works just fine. @In(create=true) works correctly under the seam-gen project.

I'm going over the config files from both projects and making some comparisons. Your advice would be much appreciated as well...

thanks
