I was trying to make the UI tier EJB-independent so I could deploy it in regular Tomcats if necessary. For example, I could have a configuration where I'd have a layer of machines running only tomcat clustered and another clustered layer of JBoss instances. I know I could inject if I made the actions EJBs, for now I have decided to workaround the issue using the ServiceLocator pattern. But anyway I posted since I thought this was supposed to work. Or am I wrong? It isnt the way I thought... View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4092373#...
