Enable @Resource annotations in webapps

[kdekooter]

Is it possible to use @Resource annotations (instead of the bulky JNDI boilerplate) code in webapps (inside of an ear file)?

And if so which configuration items need to be set?

You mean in servlets?

Yes, in servlets or other beans in my web application.

Its supported in JBossAS-5 versions. All you need is an web application with version 2.5 of the web_app xsd in your web.xml:

<web-app version="2.5"
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
