Alexey Loubyansky [http://community.jboss.org/people/alex.loubyansky%40jboss.com] created the discussion "Dependencies expressed with @Resource" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/570529#570529 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to clarify the effects of these dependencies on service deployment and creation/initialization. The way it's now, these dependencies don't affect deployment, i.e. if a dependency specified in @Resource is missing or there is a circular dependency expressed with @Resource, this won't affect deployment. It may affect runtime though, e.g. an initialization of an mbean, but only if the dependency is associated with an injection target (i.e. was specified on a field or a method). The question is should these dependencies be checked for resolution at deploy time and fail the deploy if they can't? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/570529#570529] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS7 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
