petite & proxetta -> in proxified instance no further injections done

[moh....@googlemail.com]

Hi,

it seems that i found an issue in using petite & proxetta.

following situation given:

external bean (with petite inject anno)
  |
  | (reference on)
  |
Petite Bean #1
  |
  | (reference on)
  |
Petite Bean #2


Bean #2 has a proxetta advice on one public method and a reference on Bean #2 (petite inject anno).


I have used advanced petite container from (http://jodd.org/doc/proxetta/proxy.html) and shipped ProxettaAwarePetiteContainer.


With both ones the Bean#2 reference is not injected into proxified Bean #1 instance after wiring the external bean.

External Bean externalBean = new ExternalBean();
petiteContainer.wire(externalbean);

externalBean.callMethod() -> NPE thrown

example is added as attachment (maven / intellij project).


Is this a failure or wrong usage?


Thank you!

So this is what is going on.

When you use proxetta to create a proxy, you actually created a sub-class. This proxy subclass is registered as Petite bean.

However, you have annotation on original target class private field. This field is not visible from the proxy class :) Therefore, Petite does not see the private field in target class!

If you make the field protected - its whole different story :)
