I use a library called Enunciate for help with a couple different webservice related things.  One of its modules (org.codehaus.enunciate:enunciate-jersey-rt:1.21) http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.codehaus.enunciate/en... has a class named EnunciateSpringComponentProviderFactory with a @Resource annotation in it defined like this:   @Resource ( name = "service-bean-interceptors" )   public void setEnunciateInterceptors(List<Object> interceptors) {     this.interceptors = interceptors;   } I believe this was intended to be used for Spring dependency wiring.  This class is intended to be an 'optional' class, in that it adds Spring support to Enunciate's Jersey integration, but if Spring doesn't exist on the classpath, the Enunciate-Jersey integration http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.codehaus.enunciate/en... should still work fine.  My app doesn't use Spring, and I don't need this class to be used by Enunciate or noticed in any way by Jboss. However, AS7 seems to notice the @Resource declaration, and it tries to register EnunciateSpringComponentProviderFactory as an EE Component. Now, this first caused me a little irritation because AS7 tried to load this class, which failed with a Linkage error because I don't have the jersey-spring integration jar in my app.  So, I worked around the issue by adding that jar. However, AS7 (as of late) now fails to deploy my app, resulting in this stacktrace: 13:07:07,388 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."ccp.war".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."ccp.war".PARSE: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment "ccp.war"     at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:121)     at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1675)     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) [:1.6.0_24]     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) [:1.6.0_24]     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) [:1.6.0_24] Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: Can't handle @Resource for ENC name: service-bean-interceptors since it's missing a "lookup" (or "mappedName") value and isn't of any known type     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.process(ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.java:208)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.processMethodResource(ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.java:168)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.deploy(ResourceInjectionAnnotationParsingProcessor.java:119)     at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:115)     ... 4 more Is there any way I can tell AS7 to ignore this class?  Or perhaps AS7 is  being a little too aggressive regarding its @Resource scanning/validating?  Honestly I don't know the Java EE rules regarding @Resource, so maybe this behavior is correct. I do imagine, however, that the current behavior will be really irritating to people who use Spring and use @Resource to declare Spring injection points.  Oh, and also, the error message would be friendlier if it inlcuded the name of the class containing the offening @Resource declaration.
