EJB injection doesn’t work in Web Services in JBoss 5.1

[japase]

In the EJB3 topic http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=153488 I've been told to create a separate topic in this forum regarding one of my problems.

According to JEE 5 specification (http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/01/04/dependency-injection-java-ee-5.html) EJB injection should work not only in servlets, but also in web services, but it doesn't in JBoss 5.1.x.

Example code for a web service (works in other containers, like GlassFish, WebLogic):

@WebService
public class Ws2Stateless
{
 @EJB private StatelessSession sless;

 @WebMethod
 public String sayHello( @WebParam(name="yourName") String name )
 {
 return "Greeting from StatelessSessionBean: " + sless.sayHello(name);
 }
}

This example is based on an example from Sun (I can supply a complete example application that shows the problem).

The fix will be available since JBossAS 5.1.0.GA release, see JBWS-2074 for more info.

Which J2EE JCP specification defines this requirement for POJO endpoints as well? I can't find it :(

Cross reference: JBWS-2634

Could you provide that sample or the test case? It would speed up the fixing process ;)

[japase]

Sure. I have a test case. Which JBWS shall I attach the file to?

Please attach it here https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2634

The feature is implemented and will be available in next JBossWS/JBossAS release.
