Gavin, I'm having the same issues as Newlukai, and as this person stated it appears somewhat random, but it related to the combination of @DataModelSelection, and @DataModelSelectionIndex.
Below you will find three fragment; simplified code, modified component.java from the seam project, and the logged output. Please let me know if anything else would be helpful. simplified ScheduleBean to show annotations @Stateful @Name("scheduleEditor") @LoggedIn @Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class) @PersistenceContext private EntityManager em; @In private transient FacesContext facesContext; @In private transient Context sessionContext; @In(required = true) private Customer currentCustomer; @DataModel private List activityLogs; @DataModelSelectionIndex private int activityLogIndex; @DataModelSelection @Out(scope = ScopeType.CONVERSATION, required = false) private ActivityLog activityLog; @Create public void initialize() { } @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Factory("activityLogs") public void find() { } @Destroy @Remove public void destroy() { } added log.info statements to component.java for (Field field: selectionFields) { log.info("@DataModelSelection field: " + field.toString()); Annotation ann = dataModelSelectionFieldAnnotations.get(field); log.info("@DataModelSelection ann: " + ann.toString()); String name = createUnwrapper(ann).getVariableName(ann); log.info("@DataModelSelection name: " + name); if ( name.length() == 0 ) { if ( hasMultipleDataModels ) { throw new IllegalStateException( "Missing value() for @DataModelSelection with multiple @DataModels" ); } name = defaultDataModelName; } Field existing = dataModelSelectionFields.put( name, field ); if (existing!=null) { throw new IllegalStateException("Multiple @DataModelSelection fields for: " + name); } } Logged results: 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] Component: scheduleEditor, scope: CONVERSATION, type: STATEFUL_SESSION_BEAN, class: com.aftertherun.bean.schedule.ScheduleBean, JNDI: atrapp/ScheduleBean/local 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection field: private int com.aftertherun.bean.schedule.ScheduleBean.activityLogIndex 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection ann: @org.jboss.seam.annotations.datamodel.DataModelSelectionIndex(value=) 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection name: 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection field: private com.rocksolid.beans.ActivityLog com.aftertherun.bean.schedule.ScheduleBean.activityLog 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection ann: @org.jboss.seam.annotations.datamodel.DataModelSelection(value=) 05:16:49,144 INFO [Component] @DataModelSelection name: 05:16:49,144 ERROR [[/]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener java.lang.IllegalStateException: Multiple @DataModelSelection fields for: activityLogs at org.jboss.seam.Component.initMembers(Component.java:536) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:199) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:159) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:154) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:149) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:381) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponents(Initialization.java:343) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.init(Initialization.java:195) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:32) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3951887#3951887 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3951887 _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list JBoss-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
