User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Context Lookup vs. Injection": http://community.jboss.org/message/522654#522654 Author : Andrig Miller Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/andy.miller@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I was playing around with the UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory in an EJB 3 application, to generate a primary key.  Hibernate actually supports its own annotations for this (non-JPA standard), but I was wondering about using the KeyGeneratorFactory directly as an alternative.  I can definitely just create an IntialContext, and lookup "UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory", and that works as expected, and that's been in the application server since 3.2.x.   Is there a way to use EJB 3 @Resource annotation to inject the UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory.  I tried it in the code, but it didn't work, but maybe I missed something, or maybe the @Resource annotation isn't generalized to lookup anything in JNDI.   Anyway, if someone could shed some light on the subject that would be helpful.   Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/522654#522654
