Thanks for the answer. It is that I thought. The containers are different. There are the web container and the EJB container, because when I use an EJB client, the @EJB works, whereas with a web service client does not work. I have the same problem when I want to use the security annotation with web service annotation. The context is not propagated, whereas with Axis Web service works. I use HTTP Basic authentification, then a file descriptor jboss-web.xml for the propagation context. However I would like use the jbossws to simplify the development and to avoid a layer Axis web service (1.4) supplementary. It is the most important problem. I read in the Wiki : http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws/user-guide/en/html/secure-ejb.html but it does not treat with annotation EJB3. So anyone knows how to resolve this problem, it will be great !!! Regards View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3975089#...
