    Dependency injection and Stateful EJB

    dragan.mi

      I am the begginer in EJB 3.0 and I need help.
      I don't know what is wrong. I have my stateful EJB "UserSession" that is container for other stateful EJBs. In loginResolver.jsp page I have my UserSession EJB lookup code.

      1.
      First, I used dependency injection by using @ejb annotations to inject the other EJBs (service objects) that all are statefull too. But I can't get the EJBs statefull to store their values!

      2.
      Then I removed @ejb annotations and I called the set methods of the stateful EJBs in the constructor of my stateful EJB container "UserSession". But nothing!

      I see ( by using the debuger and by using hashcode() method of LoginMachine object) that every time when I call getLoginMachine() of the UserSession object I get the stub object that refers to new instance of the statefull LoginMachine. I don't want that!!!

      That is the 2. case. I will show the 1. case too if that is needed.

      Thanks!
