There are two ways of using Spring injection with SpringDeployer. One is with JBoss AOP, which looks different containers - Session beans, MDBs, ... - and you don't need any EJB3. But in this case you need to modify / add some code in the mentioned -interceptors.xml file. Or you can use EJB3 Spring interceptor - but beans (bean factory) still need to be put under proper jndi name (this is done by deployer, but in case you use / need some other binding mechanism). No -interceptors.xml modification needed. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4037122#...
