Ah, cool... yeah I'm pretty sure everything works off of setter injection. So the way the container injects your dependencies is by first creating a new instance through the default no-arg constructor and then injecting dependencies using setters for each @In annotation. That's probably why you were seeing problems. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4045575#...
