Mail injection with EJB3

[jc7442]

I probably have misunderstood the @Resource annotation. I try to inject my mail session in a EJB3.

When I write ... Session is not injected

@Resource(mappedname="java:/Mail" Session session;

If I write ... it works fine

@Resource SessionContext ctx;
public .... (){
ctx.lookup("java:/Mail")
}

I believed that this two syntax was equivalent. What did I miss ?

Is it possible to inject the mail session ? I only find a solution in writting jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml. But in that case, using injection is much more complex than the lookup.

It looks like

@Resource(name = "Mail", mappedName = "java:/Mail")

works fine.

What's the difference between
@Resource(name = "Mail", mappedName = "java:/Mail")
and @Resource(mappedName = "java:/Mail") ?


When I inject JMS connectionFactory I jyust do

@Resource(name = "jmsXA")
