<html><body>Hi there,<br><br>I'm trying to make a JSF app call a remote EJB. This EJB is in the same JBoss AS 6.1 instance but was deployed as a standalone EJB-JAR. I wish I could use @Inject or @EJB to inject the remote EJB proxy into the managed bean, but it isn't working.<br><br>Here's the remote interface<br><br>package exemplo;<br>@Remote<br>public interface ClienteDAO<br>{<br> List<String> listaCidades();<br>}<br><br>And the EJB<br><br>package exemplo;<br>@Stateless<br>public class ClienteEJB implements ClienteDAO<br>{<br>// no other annotations<br><br>You see, plain defaults. I can see from jmx-console my EJB is deployed and bound to ClienteEJB/remote on the global JNDI namespace. JBoss logs also show everything is fine when deploying the EJB-JAR file:<br><br>18:57:16,905 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.impl.jndiregistrar.JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:<br><br> ClienteEJB/remote - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface<br> ClienteEJB/remote-exemplo.ClienteDAO - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface<br><br><br><br>Now here's the managed bean:<br><br>package exemplo;<br>@Named("clientes")<br>@RequestScoped<br>public class ConsultaClientes implements java.io.Serializable {<br> @EJB<br> private ClienteDAO dao;<br>// no other annotations<br><br>When I deploy the WAR containing this, JBoss logs show the error:<br><br>18:51:39,619 ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Real: name=vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war state=PreReal mode=Manual requiredState=Real: org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war<br>...<br>Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not resolve @EJB reference: [EJB Reference: beanInterface 'exemplo.ClienteDAO', beanName 'null', mappedName 'null', lookupName 'null', owning unit 'AbstractVFSDeploymentContext@1040164109{vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war}'] for environment entry: env/exemplo.ConsultaClientes/dao in unit AbstractVFSDeploymentContext@1040164109{vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war}<br><br><br>I tried adding attribute mappedName to the @EJB annotation.
