@Resource datasource injection

[nickarls]

Hi,

Is the @Resource annotation supposed to work for POJOs also in Seam or is it an EJB-only thingie?

I got the picture that if I have a datasource with <jndi-name>Foo</jndi-name>, I could just use

@Resource(mappedName="Foo")
private DataSource ds;

and have it injected, however null is all I get. Or do I need some xml resource-refs also? Tried using name="Foo" an a combo of java:Foo, java:/Foo, java:/jdbc/Foo etc but still nulls.

Seam doesn't process @Resource, so you need a container (e.g. EJB3) which does.
