Using CDI in swing enterprise application client (GF 3.1)

[anaq]

Dear all,
I have an enterprise project with a swing client (deployed to glassfish, runned using jws) and an ejb module.
I want to use CDI for ejb session bean calls, this means use a class member with @EJB annotation, not the lookup method. But I have a problem, that this is working only in the class with main method. In every other class is the member always null. I think, I need to say, that this class is CDI managed, but at this time, I don't know how. I tried to add annotations like @Named,..., but this doesn't work. Can anybody help me?

My env: Java 1.6.24, Glassfish 3.1 b43, Netbeans 7 RC2, Windows 7

Code example (client):

public class Main{
    @EJB
    private static SessionBeanRemote sessionBean;

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        sessionBean.test(); // works
    }
}

public class NewClass {
    @EJB
    private static SessionBeanRemote sessionBean;
    
    public static String test(){
        return sessionBean.test();  // nullpointerexception
    }
}

Thank you

Michal

If you are invoking it using the new constructor, then you are bypassing the weld proxies.  Are you injecting a reference to NewClass in your code?
