I have a problem with @Inject and @PostConstruct method not called in a @ApplicationException annoted class. I'm using Glassfish 3.0.1 with JPA,CDI and EJBs in the service(=ejb)-layer and would like to throw an errorMessage that contains a text in the sessionlanguage.
I have an abstract ExceptionClass
public abstract class LocalizedException extends Exception {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
String localizedMessage;
//This method should be called as @PostConstruct from the concrete classe
protected void setLocalizedMessage(LocaleHandler localeHandler, String key){
this.setLocalizedMessage(localeHandler, key, new Object());
}
protected void setLocalizedMessage(LocaleHandler localeHandler, String key, Object... args){
localizedMessage = ErrorMessages.getErrorMessage(key,localeHandler.getAktuelleLokale(),args);
}
@Override
public String getMessage() {
return localizedMessage;
}
@Override
public String getLocalizedMessage() {
return localizedMessage;
}}
And a concrete class:
@ApplicationException
public class ConcreteException extends LocalizedException {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2615388267911318734L;
private int userId;
public ConcreteException(int userId) {
this.userId=userId;
}
public int getUserId() {
return userId;
}
@PostConstruct
@Inject
public void initText(LocaleHandler localeHandler){
setLocalizedMessage(localeHandler, "msgKey");
}
}
The LocaleHandler (=Sessionscoped) should be injected to provide the currentLocale which is used to retrieve an errormessage from a bundle. The problem is, that the @PostConstruct is never called no matter what I try. I even annoted the concrete class with @Named, used @Inject in the concrete class instead of the abstract, but nothing works. When I call initText() directly I can see (in the debugger), that the LocaleHandler is not injected.
Now I'm asking myself if there is a restriction regarding Exception classes and CDI or did I simply not find the source of the problem !
Do you know the answer ?
thanx in advance
Thomas
