[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (EJBTHREE-1647) @Resource injection of primitive types from JNDI

@Resource injection of primitive types from JNDI ------------------------------------------------ Key: EJBTHREE-1647 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EJBTHREE-1647 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Components: injection Affects Versions: AS 4.2.1.GA Reporter: Dennis Reed Assignee: Andrew Rubinger Fix For: Unscheduled Attachments: EJBTHREE-1647_classloading.patch The following does not work to inject an arbitrary JNDI entry for primitive/primitive wrapper/String fields: @Resource( mappedName = "java:/blah/blah" ) String myVar; In older versions, a "NYI" exception was thrown (then changed to a different exception before getting to the user). In newer versions, the literal value in mappedName is injected. For all other types, the JNDI entry injection works. For example, the following does inject that same String from JNDI: @Resource( mappedName = "java:/blah/blah" ) Object myVar;
