Ales, As mentioned before, I have an EAR (ejb3.ear) with spring-inject.jar (spring-module) , ejb3.war (web module) and ejb3.jar (ejb 3 module). In my spring-inject.jar under META-INF I have a spring-inject-spring.xml and in the application .xml I have as follows :- <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee | http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd" | version="5"> | <description>Test ejb3 j2ee 5 application</description> | <display-name>Ejb3</display-name> | <module> | <java>spring-inject.jar</java> | </module> | <module> | <web> | <web-uri>Ejb3.war</web-uri> | <context-root>ejb3</context-root> | </web> | </module> | <module> | <ejb>Ejb3.jar</ejb> | </module> | </application> My spring-inject-spring.xml under META-INF in spring-inject.jar:- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd | http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd"> | <bean id="person" class="com.ejb3.domain.Person"> | <property name="firstName" value="Roger" /> | <property name="lastName" value="Daniel" /> | <property name="age" value="51" /> | </bean> | </beans> As you see the spring module is at the top. I still get errors in "spring-inject" not binding in jndi.
