Injection not working in JAX-WS handlers from predefined configurations ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-3845 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3845 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Components: jbossws-cxf Environment: JBoss EAP 6.3 Reporter: Roberto Polli Assignee: Alessio Soldano Labels: cdi, handler, jax-ws Fix For: jbossws-cxf-5.0 Reproduce: 1- deliver [the linked jaxws webapp|https://github.com/ioggstream/jboss-eap-quickstarts/tree/jaxws-han...] on EAP6.3 2- add the CDIHandler using the the CLI (eg.) or running the given [standalone.xml|https://github.com/ioggstream/jboss-eap-quickstarts/blob/j...] $ cd /subsystem=webservices/endpoint-config=Standard-Endpoint-Config/ $ /pre-handler-chain=C1:add $ /pre-handler-chain=C1/handler=H1:add(class="org.jboss.as.quickstarts.wshelloworld.CDIHandler") $ :reload 3- Invoke * HelloWorldService.sayHello() I expect: A- the CDIBean to be injected B- the server replying correctly Instead B- the injection doesn't happen and the handler raises an exception Running the Handler via the @HandlerChain annotation (using the provided HandlerServiceImpl) and removing the handlerchain from jboss everything works fine. Debugging I found that those handlers are created via ConfigHelper.setupConfigHandlers which does a clazz.newInstance(). Probably this doesn't go through the CDI chain...
