@Inject not working

[nbhatia]

I am porting a working Java EE 6 application from GlassFish 3.1 to JBoss AS 7.0.2. I am noticing that one of my dependencies is not being injected, resulting in a NullPointerException. Here's the class which has the dependency:

@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://archfirst.org/bfexch/marketdataservice.wsdl", serviceName = "MarketDataService")

public class MarketDataWebService {

    @WebMethod(operationName = "GetMarketPrices", action = "GetMarketPrices")

    @WebResult(name = "MarketPrice")

    public List<MarketPrice> getMarketPrices() {

        return marketDataService.getMarketPrices();

    }

    @Inject

    private MarketDataService marketDataService;

}

Here's the injected class, it's a simple POJO:

public class MarketDataService {

    @Inject private MarketDataRepository marketDataRepository;

    ...

}

What could be the problem here? As far as I can tell, I am doing everything necessary for the container to see the inject class, e.g. I have a beans.xml file in the bean's jar file.

Thanks.

This is a known issue and should be fixed as part of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3358 (which is being worked right now)

Thanks!

This issue is essentially holding up my port to JBoss AS 7. I will keep an eye on JIRA.

BTW, my primary reason for porting to JBoss AS7 is JMS. The HornetQ implementation seems much richer compared to OpenMQ (features like message grouping and control over redelivery are important to me). Any major show stoppers on HornetQ integration with JBoss AS 7?
