Ok, getting furhter once again. The problem about the BeanFactory not being registered was due to the fact that your jboss-spring.xml definition has changed from the examples I found on the site to what is actually needed.
As posted before, I had this defined as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
<description>BeanFactory=(Commander)</description>
<bean id="dataSourceManager" class="database.DataSourceManagerImpl" />
</beans>
I looked thru some of the newer source and noticed that you defined them differently and I updated my jboss-spring.xml file to reflect that change:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd" default-lazy-init="true">
<description>BeanFactory=(SpringCommander)</description>
<bean id="dataSourceManager" class="com.electriccloud.database.DataSourceManagerImpl" />
<bean id="commanderServer" class="com.electriccloud.commander.server.CommanderServerImpl" />
</beans>
Now when I look in the jBoss console I indeed see that the factory is registered with JNDI.
However I still get an exception when I actually try to have the spring bean injected in my EJB and I hope you can help me out there. This is the exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot retrieve an org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory from java:jboss/SpringCommander - a org.jboss.spring.factory.NamedXmlApplicationContext found instead
