Injection not working on JAXWS handlers specified with @HandlerChain on service endpoint interfaces --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3657 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3657 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 JDK 1.8.0_11 Reporter: Thomas Kriechbaum Assignee: Alessio Soldano Fix For: 9.0.0.Beta1 Attachments: jaxws-handler-war.zip, wildfly-test-soapui-project.xml According to the JavaEE spec JAXWS-handlers should support injection (@Inject, @EJB), @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy. In my test case (top-down approach, handler class is defined within *_handler.xml) @PostCunstruct works, but managed beans (CDI, EJB) are not injected via @Inject or @EJB. Possible workaround for EJBs: manual JNDI-lookup within @PostConstruct method. For CDI-managed beans you have to lookup the BeanManager and load the desired bean yourself. It seems, that this issue should have been addressed by WFLY-2362. But it is still does not work.
