[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - @Resource injection not working in shared library

[vdmeerenp]

Hello everyone, 

I have the impression that resource injection (using @Resource annotation) is not executed when using shared library (in common/lib folder). 

I have created a HttpSessionListener , with a datasource declared like this: 


  | @Resource(mappedName = "java:DefaultDS")
  | private DataSource ds;
  | ...
  |  


This listener is bundled in a jar file, which I have put under <JBOSS_HOME>/common/lib to make it available for all applications running on my Jboss application server. 

Then I have a web application which uses this HttpSessionListener by declaring it in it's web.xml. 

What I see is that when web application is deployed and listener is executed the datasource (ds) is always = null.This means the container did not execute the dependency injection of the datasource. 

Note that when I add the jar file (with listener) to WEB-INF/lib of my web application, it DOES get executed. 
So it seems that JBoss does not do dependency injection when @Resource annotations are put on classes which are in the common/lib folder. 

Could someone please help because I don't want to deploy my shared jar with each application individually. 

Many thanks in advance.
