Apologies if this query should be put to the user forum, but I'm not sure if what I face is a bug, or me just being dumb!
I have a bean, DownloadJob, which implements the quartz (timer) Job interface method execute(...). The bean has the @ManagedBean annotation. The problem I face is I have a number of CDI dependant beans declared within the DownloadJob bean which are not being injected i.e. all references to CDI beans remain 'null'. I suspect the underlying cause is the container is unaware of the DownloadJob bean (despite being annotated with @ManagedBean) as the quartz library instantiates it when a timer is triggered. Nonetheless my expectation is the container should still resolve calls/references to the other CDI managed beans under its control. Am I mistaken or naive?
Rather than paste a zillion of lines of code I have created the simple test case (zip attached) which replicates this issue by instantiating a bean with CDI dependencies using the new keyword. An excerpt of the test case is below.
I have the latest JBoss AS7.1 snapshot which I understand addresses a recent CDI injection bug, so any insight/guidance will be appreciated.
Thank you, Andrew
