@EJB in a web service

[trippstowe]

I am having some problems with dependency injection of an ejb in a webservice on jboss 4.0.5. What am i doing wrong?

The below code i have also tried @EJB without any parameters:
Also i could not get the setter to work either. it never entered the setter and displayed the logs.

 @EJB(name="LookupTest/remote",
 beanInterface=RemoteLookupTest.class)
 RemoteLookupTest ps;

/* public void setPersonService(RemoteLookupTest newPs){
 log.info("injecting new personService: "+newPs);
 this.ps = newPs;
 log.info("injected personService: ps="+ps);
 }
*/
 @WebMethod
 public Person queryPerson(long personId) throws RemoteException{
 System.out.println(ps.getName());
 }

this code gives me a null pointer exception at the ps.getName();


this next code snippet is the next function in the web service and it works fine. this makes me think that the bean is deployed correctly.

 @WebMethod
 public void testLookupBean() throws RemoteException{
 try{
 Context ctx = new InitialContext();
 String jndiName = "LookupTest/remote";
 RemoteLookupTest obj = (RemoteLookupTest)ctx.lookup(jndiName);
 System.out.println(obj.getName());

thanks in advance
