[jboss-user] [EJB3] - @EJB vs. InitialCotext.doLookup(...)

To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/595940#595940 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have a question about context lookups and dependency injection regarding the following scenario: I'm using JBoss 6.0, JSF 2.1 (Mojarra), EJB3.1 I have and ejb jar and a war archive packaged together in an ear. My ejb-jar contains a stateless, no interface (local) session bean. My war has a session scoped managed bean. Inside my managed bean, I use the @EJB annotation to inject an instance of my no-interface session bean - works like a charm! However, when I deploy the ejb-jar and the war archives separately (without the ear) I get an error, stating that "Could not resolve @EJB reference... ". However when I remove the @EJB annotation in my managed bean and do a "InitialContext.doLookup("...") instead, I get no errors and everything isfine. Why doesn't dependency Injection using the @EJB annotation work when deploying the artifacts separately but a manual lookup does? (I first deploy my ejb-jar and afterwards I deploy the war.) Does anyone have a clue? ---- -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/595940#595940] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
