Marius Bogoevici [http://community.jboss.org/people/marius.bogoevici] created the discussion "Unexpected behavious when binding to java:comp and @Startup beans" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/548547#548547 -------------------------------------------------------------- So, for Weld-int  we bind a BeanManager to java:comp/BeanManager. In order to make it accessible to EJBs, the binding procedure works like this: 1) Obtain the JavaEEComponent which corresponds to the EJBs DU 2) From the JavaEEComponent, obtain the Context (which represents java:comp for said component) 3) Bind the BeanManager As a bit of background, one of the interceptors that are applied to CDI-enabled EJBs is injected with a @Resource("java:comp/BeanManager") This works fine, as long as the EJB is not a @Startup  bean. For the latter, the lookup that is performed during EJBContainer.startup() seems to miss the JavaEEComponent (debugging ComponentObjectFactory shows that CurrentComponent.get() returns null and thus JavaEEComponent is ignored - so that the BeanManager that is bound to JavaEEComponent's context is not found). So, I'm looking forward to some clarifications concerning this - mainly to discuss what's the best way to move forward: a) open a JIRA, fix the issue, or b) use the SwitchBoard Thanks, Marius -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/548547#548547] Start a new discussion in EJB 3.0 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
