Deployment fails when @Resource(name = "java:comp/ValidatorFactory") specified.

[rpdeadly]

Hi.

      My EAR deployment works only when I comment out @Resource(name = "java:comp/ValidatorFactory") from all the EJB classes. I'm running wildfly-8.1.0.CR2 in

standalone-full.xml. Is there a module that I need to add ?

[ctomc]

you have validation.xml or bean.xml as part of your app?

Hi. I have an empty META-INF/beans.xml  but I haven't created a validation.xml.

Are you trying to inject the ValidatorFactory? Then the right way to do that is to use the lookup attribute (or even mappedName)  of @Resource annotation or even leave out the JNDI name altogether. The way you have it now, it tries to bind a ValidatorFactory to that JNDI name and from what I can guess it will fail because that's a reserved JNDI name to which the container binds the ValidatorFactory. So change your code to:

@Resource
private ValidatorFactory validatorFactory;

or

@Resource(lookup="java:comp/ValidatorFactory")
private ValidatorFactory validatorFactory;

By the way, you might want to use 8.1.0.Final which has been released a couple of weeks back.
