Hi all, I have a SLSB with a @Resource annotation : import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Depends; @Stateless(name = "SimpleSLSBResource", mappedName = "SimpleEJB30SLSBResource") @Remote({com.jp.ejb3.ISimpleSLSB.class}) @Depends({"jboss:type=Service,name=SystemProperties"}) public class SimpleSLSBResource implements ISimpleSLSB { @Resource(name = "serverName") String = "testserver"; and i also have a ejb-jar.xml to define the resource : <ejb-name>SimpleSLSBResource</ejb-name> <env-entry> <env-entry-name>serverName</env-entry-name> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> <env-entry-value>${serverName}</env-entry-value> </env-entry> and finally a systemProperties-service.xml to set the value of the resource : serverName=production When i start my JBoss AND THEN deploy my EJB, "serverName" is resolved to "production" => OK When i start my JBoss with my EJB in the deploy directory, "serverName" is not resolved (= ${serverName}) => KO I'm working on JBoss 5.1.0GA, jdk6. Have I made a mistake with the @Depends tag ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4257332#...
