--------------------------------------------------------------
We are converting a huge Spring 3 based application to eventually be a JEE application using jBoss 7.1.1.Final.
As a first step we wrapped our application inside a war file which deploys inside jboss and works well.
I am trying to see if I can inject some of the spring beans inside this jar into a simple EJB. Both the war and EJB are packaged in an ear and I moved all jars from the war to the ear lib.

My war file has the META-INF/jboss-spring.xml file:


> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" " http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
> 
> <beans>
> 
>     <description>BeanFactory=(*Commander*)</description>
>     <bean id="*dataSourceManager*" class="database.DataSourceManagerImpl" />
> </beans>

 and I see in the jboss log file at startup what looks like it is being read:


> 09:01:46,210 INFO  [org.jboss.spring.factory.NamedXmlApplicationContext] (MSC service thread 1-2) Refreshing org.jboss.spring.factory.NamedXmlApplicationContext at 1daef240: startup date [Wed Jul 24 09:01:46 MDT 2013]; root of context hierarchy
> 09:01:46,211 INFO  [org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader] (MSC service thread 1-2) Loading XML bean definitions from "/content/assembly.ear/commander.war/META-INF/jboss-spring.xml"
> 09:01:46,217 INFO  [org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory] (MSC service thread 1-2) Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory at 330ec996: defining beans [*dataSourceManager*]; root of factory hierarchy

I try to inject this bean in my EJB as follows:


> |  | @Spring(bean = "*dataSourceManager*", jndiName = "*Commander*") |
> 

However when I try to call into my EJB I am getting a huge stacktrace that in the end tells me snowdrop couldn't find the 'Commander' factory:


> Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: *Commander* -- service jboss.naming.context.java.jboss.Commander
>     at org.jboss.spring.support.SpringInjectionSupport.lookup(SpringInjectionSupport.java:180) [snowdrop-deployers.jar:2.1.0.Final]
>     at org.jboss.spring.support.SpringInjectionSupport.getObjectFromBeanFactory(SpringInjectionSupport.java:136) [snowdrop-deployers.jar:2.1.0.Final]


Any ideas?  Is this setup even supported or instead of wrapping our spring application inside a servlet should we 'just' make its jars avaliable and have some dummy EJB or sar start the application?

As a side note, I tried to build the sportsclub example but it can't find the jpl-util 1.0 (which is not avaliable on maven central); it also looks very outdated and I am wondering if there is a newer example distribution for snowdrop 2.x?
