Greetings, I'm working with 4.0.4GA and EJB3 RC9 on Java 1.5.0_06 (WinXP). Have created an entity bean with the container's timer service injected. When I reference the timer service, it is null. Under the same conditions, I am successful at injecting the timer service into both a MDB and a stateless session bean. No errors or warnings in compile or deployment with verbose output, only the NullPointerException when attempting to use the timer service. Here is what I am doing (simplified): | @Entity | public class MyEntity implements Serializable | { | @Resource | private TimerService timerService; | ... | Then try to invoke methods on the timer service: | public createMyTimer() | { | try | { | if((timerService.getTimers()).isEmpty() == false) | { | ... | I assume this annotation/usage is legal. Did not see anything logged in JIRA or a relate forum topic. Anyone seen this or have an answer to this behavior? Thanks.
