Deltaspikes #WindowScoped working with TomEE? - jsf-2

Question

I'm struggeling how to get Deltaspikes #WindowScoped working with TomEE (did try 1.5.2, 1.5.3-SNAPSHOT and 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT)
Its a very minimal war, with deltaspike 0.4 core+jsf dependencies.
Now, i did create a HelloWorldBean like this:
#Named("HW")
#WindowScoped
public class HelloWorldBean implements PassivationCapable,Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
#PostConstruct
public void test() {
System.out.println("Bean did get constructed");
}
....
}
There's an empty beans.xml, empty faces-config.xml and a very minimal web.xml.
on a very simple page i have.
<h:form>
<h:inputText value="#{HW.name}"></h:inputText>
<h:commandButton value="Welcome Me" actionListener="#{HW.printIt}"></h:commandButton>
</h:form>
The page works fine, a windowId is added to the request and when i refresh the page i see that the bean is not instanciated (i.e. test() gets only called once).
But as soon i press the commandButton i get an ContextNotActiveException exception:

Am i missing something obvious? Or is it a bug in DeltaSpike? (or TomEE?)

Answer 1

This Exception indicates that the windowId is not set in the WindowContext. Did you add the proper DeltaSpike tag into your fragment?

The ds:windowId part is important.
You can debug into DeltaSpikeLifecycleWrapper#execute to see if the windowId gets detected properly.
