RC9: @EJB Injection not working?

[alrubinger]

Just patched JBoss 4.0.4-GA to EJB3 RC9. With no code changes, redeployed my existing archives and have received deployment errors related to @EJB injections not populating instance variables as they once were.

EJB A depends on EJB B (@Depends). EJB B is successfully deployed before EJB A, and appears in both JMX Console and JNDIView.

EJB A also injects an instance of EJB B. This instance remains null in EJB A's JMX "start" method.

Both EJBs are JBoss JMX @Service Beans.

Anyone else seen this?

Gotta be javax.ejb.EJB, not javax.annotation.EJB now.

Updated the Migration Wiki at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FromRC8RC9 to include this note.

Do you know if you can use injection in an older EJB2.1 bean?

I can't inject an EJB3 session bean into my EJB2.1 session bean. Haven't tried the other way yet.

It'd be really nice if it works.
