no injection of @Resource TimerService within Entity EJB
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: EJBTHREE-726
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-726
             Project: EJB 3.0
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: EJB3 Extensions
    Affects Versions: EJB 3.0 RC9 - FD
         Environment: JBoss AS 4.0.4GA (via web installer), 
EJB 3.0 RC9, 
JDK 1.5.0_6, 
Windows XP Pro 2002 w/SP2
            Reporter: James


I'm working with 4.0.4GA and EJB3 RC9 on Java 1.5.0_06 (WinXP). Have created an entity bean with the container's timer service injected. When I reference the timer service, it is null. Under the same conditions, I am successful at injecting the timer service into both a MDB and a stateless session bean. No errors or warnings in compile or deployment with verbose output, only the NullPointerException when attempting to use the timer service.

Here is what I am doing (simplified):

@Entity
public class MyEntity implements Serializable
{
    @Resource
    private TimerService timerService;
    ...
    public createMyTimer()
    {
        try
        {
            if((timerService.getTimers()).isEmpty() == false)
            {
                ...

The call to getTimers() throws the NullPointerException.  I'm starting with a feature request, not sure this is a bug just yet.
