@Resource injection not working

[lukeb]

I'm trying to use resource injection and am not having any success. I'm very new to EJB3 and EJB in general so my apologies if i've missed reading some docco somewhere.

I want to inject the SessionContext into a Stateless session bean. I've tried it under both 4.0.3 and 4.0.3sp1.

The code is like this:

@Stateless
public final class TestBean implements Test {
@Resource private SessionContext ctx;

....
public void doSomething() {
// ctx is null here??????
}
}

I thought that cts would be injected and I would be able to use the SessionContext.

Can anyone help?

I don't believe you. We have a test in our testsuite that tests SessionContext injection.

Is it perhaps because your class is marked as being final? Does it need to be?

Bill is correct. It is working. The problem was JBoss IDE. If you have an exploded ear, redeploy does not work. You have to undeploy and then redeploy.
