EJB3 and Struts2 with CDI ?

[rop]

Hi,

I asked a question in the EJB3 forum some days ago, but got 0 answers.

So I try to ask here, too --- still need help, please:

... or just read this:

Still didnt get EJB3 dependency-injection to work with Struts2 action-classes.
The main difference to a plain servlet, is that the action-classes in Struts2
are created on-the-fly (... new myActionclass() ...) everytime a request comes in,
and @EJB doesnt work for such classes.
Currently, as a work-around, I just do jndi context-lookup to get the EJB3 instead.
But I read somewhere that CDI should be able to handle Dependency-Injection in POJOs created on-the-fly.... 
Is that correct?
Any input still appreciated!
Thanx,

Struts action classes are not container managed classes. So container managed injection like @EJB will not work there.

Even with CDI, if you do a new SomeClass() then there won't be any scope for injection.

You need to provide a struts ObjectFactory, like this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg35308.html//www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg35308.html
