Inject EJB problem in web service method !!

[boby]

Hello,

I try to inject an EJB with @EJB in WebMethod, but that does not works, whereas with InitialContext is ok.

Is it possible to inject an EJB in a web service method ???

I forgot to specify that I use jboss-4.0.4.GA with jbossws by default.
And my code :

@Stateless
@SecurityDomain("Protected-Web-Services")
@Interceptors( { LoggerInterceptor.class, ConnectionInterceptor.class })
@RemoteBinding(jndiBinding = "TestSession")
@WebService(name = "Test")
public class TestSessionBean implements TestSession {

 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(TestSessionBean.class.getSimpleName());
 @EJB
 ResourcesDAOSession resourcesDAOSession;

@RolesAllowed("ws_resources")
@WebMethod
public Resource echo(int idResource) {
 logger.info("DAO : " + this.resourcesDAOSession);
 Resource resource = this.resourcesDAOSession.getResource(idResource);
 logger.info("resource : " + resource);
 return resource;
 }

if you are using a java client point it to the TestSessionBean?wsdl and it should work. this way you get the bean isntantiated in the EJB container. if you don't reference the web service as a bean then you loose the EJB context and thus you loose the EJB supported injection.

Same thing happens if you are injecting a @Resource or @PersistenceContext. it's the container that understands the annotations. so if the object is created in the wrong container the annotations are ignored.

i don't understand the details of how this works, but i do know that the container is very important and i'm sure the jboss web service container doesn't undestand @EJB, but the EJB container does.

Thanks for the answer.

It is that I thought. The containers are different. There are the web container and the EJB container, because when I use an EJB client, the @EJB works, whereas with a web service client does not work.

I have the same problem when I want to use the security annotation with web service annotation. The context is not propagated, whereas with Axis Web service works.
I use HTTP Basic authentification, then a file descriptor jboss-web.xml for the propagation context. However I would like use the jbossws to simplify the development and to avoid a layer Axis web service (1.4) supplementary.
It is the most important problem. I read in the Wiki :
http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws/user-guide/en/html/secure-ejb.html
but it does not treat with annotation EJB3.

So anyone knows how to resolve this problem, it will be great !!!

I installed the last version of jbossws and now that works.
I have the annotation authentification with the context propagation.

@WebService(name = "EndpointInterface")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
@PortComponent(authMethod = "BASIC", transportGuarantee = "NONE")
@Stateless
@SecurityDomain("Protected-Web-Services")
@Interceptors( { LoggerInterceptor.class, ConnectionInterceptor.class })
@RemoteBinding(jndiBinding = "TestSession")
public class TestSessionBean implements TestSession { code }
