    @Resource definition in 3rd party library causes deployment failure

    matt.drees

      Hi all,

       

      Earlier snapshots of AS7 didn't give me this problem, but it's started showing up due to some recent changes regarding @Resource handling.

       

      I use a library called Enunciate for help with a couple different webservice related things.  One of its modules (org.codehaus.enunciate:enunciate-jersey-rt:1.21) has a class named EnunciateSpringComponentProviderFactory with a @Resource annotation in it defined like this:

       

       

        @Resource ( name = "service-bean-interceptors" )
        public void setEnunciateInterceptors(List<Object> interceptors) {
          this.interceptors = interceptors;
        }
      

       

      I believe this was intended to be used for Spring dependency wiring.  This class is intended to be an 'optional' class, in that it adds Spring support to Enunciate's Jersey integration, but if Spring doesn't exist on the classpath, the Enunciate-Jersey integration should still work fine

       

      My app doesn't use Spring, and I don't need this class to be used by Enunciate or noticed in any way by Jboss.

       

      However, AS7 seems to notice the @Resource declaration, and it tries to register EnunciateSpringComponentProviderFactory as an EE Component.

       

      Now, this first caused me a little irritation because AS7 tried to load this class, which failed with a Linkage error because I don't have the jersey-spring integration jar in my app.  So, I worked around the issue by adding that jar.

       

      However, AS7 (as of late) now fails to deploy my app, resulting in this stacktrace:

      Is there any way I can tell AS7 to ignore this class? 

      Or perhaps AS7 is  being a little too aggressive regarding its @Resource scanning/validating?  Honestly I don't know the Java EE rules regarding @Resource, so maybe this behavior is correct.

       

      I do imagine, however, that the current behavior will be really irritating to people who use Spring and use @Resource to declare Spring injection points. 

       

       

      Oh, and also, the error message would be friendlier if it inlcuded the name of the class containing the offening @Resource declaration.

       

       

      Thanks!
