Hi Ross, as far as I know, injection is only possible for certain types of resources where the server can control the usage and object creation. Those types are: SessionBeans, Servlets, JSF managed beans, ApplicationClient main classes. For everything else, JavaEE5 injection is not possible. The server has no chance to hook into the creation of your Pojo, so it cannot perform injection. Hope this helps Wolfgang View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4214226#...
