Thanks Josh. With your idea in mind I dug deeper into what Weld's support for Wicket is/was. In the Weld download is a jar called weld-wicket.jar that has a WeldApplication class for doing what you suggest. However following the instruction for using their integration code only got me an error when including their jar in my project.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.weld.Container.services()Lorg/jboss/weld/bootstrap/api/Service Registry; So I included the weld-wicket code in my simple project to see what was going on. Their integration solution provides a new RequestCycle class called WeldRequestCycle. In this class they attempt to preserve a long running conversation through weld/wicket trickery. There's a line of code in a few places that causes a runtime exception that stops the request cycle. ConversationContext conversationContext = Container.instance().services().get(ContextLifecycle.class).getConversat ionContext(); These are Weld classes, but stepping through the debugger shows it goes go back through the Wicket filter. Therefore I don't know who is at fault here. Maybe something in Wicket changed that is causing Weld to croak or Weld in Glassfish is the culprit. Either way I really don't care about long running conversation support at this point so I removed the class and any dependency on it in my modified version of the weld-wicket code base. With that exception out of the way and changing my application to subclass from WeldApplication, I have simple injection working with Weld. Yippee! I'll cross my fingers there are no other side effects. Problem is now what? I guess I can post this with the Seam/Weld team and hope someone updates the Weld-Wicket integration. Or I can hope someone from the Wicket team will take a look and see if it's something in the latest version of Wicket that caused this to break and could do a patch. Anyone? :) -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Josh Chappelle [mailto:jchappe...@4redi.com] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 2:59 PM To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: RE: Wicket and JEE6 Mark, Try taking a look at the addComponentInstantiationListener method on the Application class. It takes one parameter of type IComponentInstantiationListener and that interface has one method which is onInstantiation(Component component). Every time a component gets instantiated it will be handed to this listener so maybe you can write your own dependency injection code there. I would think that is what the WeldApplication is doing under the covers but since it isn't working for you then you may have more luck just writing it yourself. The other trick is to making this work is obtaining a reference to your weld context. I use Spring so I'm not familiar with what it takes with Weld. I hope this helps.

That means I'm using JPA, CDI, and JSF2 for example. Each layer came together great with fully annotated classes until I got to the JSF2 layer which drove me crazy because JSF wants to mess with HTML element ids and names. In looking for alternative view layers I came across Wicket. The technology seems great in terms of its philosophy to keep presentation code separate, except I'm not finding much information about its support for JEE6 technologies. In particular searches for support for CDI (aka WebBeans, aka Weld) only got me to an old example in the Seam project. I cannot find any current references to using Weld within a Wicket project where I can use annotations such as @Inject, @Named, @ApplicationScoped, etc. So my very first question for this list of experts is this: Is there currently any support for Weld in Wicket? Downloading the Weld project from JBoss, I included the weld-wicket.jar into my project and my application is subclassed from WeldApplication. No such luck. Any class injected using @Inject is still null. I am using GlassFish v3 which has all the JEE6 goodies included. Developing with Eclipse. Any help is *greatly* appreciated! -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
