Mojarra 2.3.0-m06, @PersistenceContext field is null

Question

I have such converter:

@FacesConverter(managed = true, value = "myConverter")
public class MyConverter implements Converter {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = MyService.PERSISTENCE_NAME)
    private EntityManager entityManager;
    ...
}

The problem is that entityManager is null. faces-config JSF version is 2.3, Mojarra 2.3.0-m06 is used. In the Application#createConverter() implementation it jumps into the first if's body, but doesn't create the converter. entityManager is not null when the converter is a bean.

Answer 1

I needed to add a beans.xml file in the WEB-INF directory with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
       bean-discovery-mode="all">
</beans>
