I've got lots of cyclic dependencies between SLSBs which are apparently not allowed with EJB3 beans on JBoss. Tracking down the exact dependencies that JBoss doesn't like takes a long time, but adding @IgnoreDependency around the place has fixed most of them. The problem is that I've got some cyclic dependencies caused by class-level @EJB annotations for beans that are looked up dynamically at runtime. Is there a way to ignore these? p.s. None of this is required on Glassfish and Weblogic, or for EJB2 beans on JBoss. It'd be great if this could be fixed!
