Another strange behavior

Question

Hi,
I've defined a stateless session bean as follows:
@Stateless
@Named("service")
public class Service extends AbstractService {
}And in one of my classes:
@Names("claims")
@SessionScoped ClaimsBean extends AbstractBean {
    @EJB Service service;
    public void preRenderView() {
        System.out.println(service);
}I also have included the System.out.println(service) declaration in several getter methods on ClaimBean.
The preRenderView method is being invoked via the <f:event> tag.
The curious part of all this is that only the println inside the preRenderView prints the reference to the Ejb, all
subsequent attempts print null.
This can't be the normal behavior, it makes no sense, the EJB is basically unusable inside this class.
But I can use it (the Service EJB) successfully in calls I've on several xhtml files and other EJB's.
Can someone help me?
Kind regards,
Carlos Ferreira

Welcome to Pages Discussions:
Haven't been able to reproduce this in Pages 2, even using the template you mention. But it could be many things. The templates are quite critical as to paper size, for example, and there are options to be taken (although they shouldn't stop you) when saving between Pages 1 and Pages 2.
So what I'd suggest is that you give a bit more detail as to what else has been going on at the time you struck this.
The answer could be more abstruse than I'm up to - but there are dedicated boffins who answer these things when they've got enough to go by.

PS: (Staircase Vision)! You do say "styles". These are blocked out with the text as it comes in the template, since this is "placeholder text." You just type over it to make your own. But then, once that is formatted (including colour), you can save it as a style and give it your own name to override what was there in the styles drawer. You may have to delete the one that was there in the first place. But have a look through the help on making your own templates: which should also apply to modifications you can make and save as your own: e.g. My Proposal, etc.
