Injecting a String

[fcorneli]

In my MDB I have:

@Resource(mappedName = "TheStringResource")
private String theStringResource;

I also have a resource-env-ref in both my ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml. But when onMessage is invoked it gives me null for the value of the 'theStringResource' variable. And this while:

String value = new InitialContext().lookup("TheStringResource");

is retrieving the correct value. Isn't is possible to inject Strings via @Resource or am I doing something wrong here? Using 4.0.4RC1.

To inject a String, use this:


@Resource(name = "TheStringResource")
private String theStringResource;

<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>ejb-name</ejb-name>
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>TheStringResource</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>value</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>

env-entry also supports the injection-target element
