Scope conflicts until batch job finished?

Question

Tech stack:

• JBeret (core, se) 1.3.0.Final
• Hibernate Search (orm, jsr352-core, jsr352-jberet) 5.10.4.Final
• Weld (servlet-core, se-core) 3.0.5.Final

If I trigger

BatchRuntime.getJobOperator().start( MassIndexingJob.NAME, MassIndexingJob.parameters().forEntity(getDomainObjectClass()).build() );

then I had the situation that a can't access any CDI component outside of the batch job that are RequestScoped or SessionScoped, until the batch job is finished.

How I can fix this problem?

Answer 1

I do not know what exactly JBeret does, but Weld SE out of the box does not activate request context (or session context) which in turn leads to the exception you are seeing. The reason is that in SE there are no HTTP requests (or sessions) hence Weld simply does not know when to activate it.

Although "request" can be interpreted differently and can be valuable addition even in SE - that's why there are supported ways to activate request context, for instance via interceptor. I suppose this is something JBeret does for you and that's why the beans "work" there.

Therefore in order to be able to use your request scoped beans in SE application, you will need to take extra steps. Note however that the context can be different from that of JBeret batch job (you won't see the same beans with the exact same state) as I expect JBeret to offload the work to another thread.
