Ok, basically I want to do spring injection in a SEAM bean. But instead of doing it with the variable resolver, I want to have a listener on the creation of the SEAM bean that goes through and injects the spring components that have the @Autowired annotation. The reason is that the variable resolver method binds me to the name of the implementation of the interface. Whereas the @Autowired annotation resolves by type. All I need to know is how I can create a "listener" (not sure of the right teminology) that listens for the creation of a SEAM bean so that I can get spring to inject it's components. I know how to do the injection, I just don't know how to create a component that "listens" for the creation of a SEAM bean. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense :( View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4114000#...
