The view and bean were working until I tried to fix non-standard names, and I've now broken the connection between the two. Oddly, the "back" button has the correct link, but content just doesn't show, nor log. Why doesn't Detail.getComments() execute?
I've been going through the weld docs and trying to better understand @Inject. There seems to be a lifecycle problem which I don't understand, either. If it's not lifecycle, then I cannot even speculate as to why Detail.getComments() never shows in the glassfish logs:
INFO: MessageBean.getModel..
INFO: SingletonNNTP.returning messages..
INFO: MessageBean.getModel..
INFO: SingletonNNTP.returning messages..
INFO: MessageBean.getModel..
INFO: SingletonNNTP.returning messages..
INFO: Detail..
INFO: Detail.getId..null
INFO: Detail.getId..SETTING DEFAULT ID
INFO: Detail.onLoad..2000
INFO: Detail.getId..2000
INFO: Detail.getId..2000
INFO: Detail.setId..2000
INFO: Detail.getId..2019
INFO: ..Detail.setId 2019
INFO: Detail.back..
INFO: Detail.getId..2019
INFO: ..Detail.back 2,018
INFO: Detail.getId..2019
The value 2000 is a default, which only happens when id==null, which it never should. It should pull in that attribute right away. So, I'm not sure whether that's a problem with the scope (I only just now found out that CDI doesn't support @SessionScoped), the lifecycle, or something else. Perhaps I need to use @Inject on that variable?
The view, detail.xhtml:

and the backing bean:
package net.bounceme.dur.nntp;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped;

@Named
@ConversationScoped
public class Detail implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Detail.class.getName());
private static final Level level = Level.INFO;
private String id = null; //should never get default value in getter
private Message message = null;
private SingletonNNTP nntp = SingletonNNTP.INSTANCE;
private String forward = null; //id + 1
private String back = null; //id - 1
private String content = null; //message.content
public Detail() {
logger.log(level, "Detail..");
}
@PostConstruct
private void onLoad() {
logger.log(level, "Detail.onLoad..{0}", getId());
}
public Message getMessage() {
logger.log(level, "Detail.getMessage..");
return message;
}
public void setMessage(Message message) {
logger.log(level, "Detail.setMessage..");
this.message = message;
}
public String getId() {
logger.log(level, "Detail.getId..{0}", id);
if (id == null) {
logger.log(level, "Detail.getId..SETTING DEFAULT ID");
id = String.valueOf(2000);
}
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) throws Exception {
logger.log(level, "Detail.setId..{0}", getId());
this.id = id;
logger.log(level, "..Detail.setId {0}", getId());
}
public String getForward() {
logger.log(level, "Detail.forward..");
int f = Integer.parseInt(getId());
f = f + 1;
logger.log(level, "..Detail.forward {0}", f);
forward = String.valueOf(f);
return forward;
}
public void setForward(String forward) {
this.forward = forward;
}
public String getBack() {
logger.log(level, "Detail.back..");
int b = Integer.parseInt(getId());
b = b - 1;
logger.log(level, "..Detail.back {0}", b);
back = String.valueOf(b);
return back;
}
public void setBack(String back) {
this.back = back;
}
public String getContent() throws Exception {
logger.log(level, "Detail.getContent..{0}", getId());
message = nntp.getMessage(Integer.parseInt(getId()));
content = message.getContent().toString();
return content;
}
public void setContent(String content) {
this.content = content;
}
}
which never seems to have, according to the above logs, Detail.getContent() invoked, despite that being part of the view: <h:outputText value="#{detail.content}" rendered="false"/>
It's odd in that Detail.content() was getting invoked prior to my changing this class to better follow naming conventions. I'm going through some Weld and Oracle Java EE 6 docs, but don't at all mind being directed to a fine manual. The docs I find describing this are invariably using @ManagedBeans, however, which I am not. There seem many gotchas, as described in this answer by @Kawu.

Surely, injecting a String isn't the problem, perhaps it's a bug.
