Wildfly 10 EJB-Project injection EJB in separat JSF-Application

[rkloeber]

Hello,

i have a problem while injection EJB's in a JSF 2.2 webapp.

Project-Structure :

EAR-Project:

- project-api.jar (only interfaces)

- project-impl.jar (remote ejb's which implements the interfaces of project-api.jar

ex.:

project-api.jar

public interface MyRemoteBean {
     public void test();
}

project-impl.jar

@Remote(MyRemoteBean.class)
@Stateless
public class MyRemoteBeanImpl implements MyRemoteBean {
     @Override
     public void test(){
      ...
     }
}

Output of wildfly at deploy-time:

java:global/myproject-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl!com.example.projectapi.MyRemoteBean
  java:app/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl!com.example.projectapi.MyRemoteBean
  java:module/MyRemoteBeanImpl!com.example.projectapi.MyRemoteBean
  java:jboss/exported/myproject-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl!com.example.projectapi.MyRemoteBean
  java:global/testenterprise-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl
  java:app/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl
  java:module/MyRemoteBeanImpl

I have a JSF2.2 webapp (not in the EAR-Project !)

In the pom.xml of the webapp :

<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>   
<artifactId>project-api</artifactId>
<version>...</version>
</dependency>

In this way i can code against the api with no knowing of implementation.

In a JSF-Bean :

@Named
@ViewScoped
@JBossLog
public class MyViewController implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

     @EJB
     private MyRemoteBean remoteBean;

    public String uiButtonPressed(){
          log.info("bean initialized with: "+remoteBean;
     }
}

remoteBean is always null

output of wildfly :

WFLYWELD0044: Error injecting resource into CDI managed bean. Can't find a resource named java:comp/env/com.example.webapp.MyViewController/remoteBean

I don't want the ejb project as an dependency of the webapp because if i have deployed the ear and later i deploy the webapp, all ejb's will be deployed twice.

My thinking, i develop an api (the project-api.jar), the implementation (myproject-impl.jar), both packed in an ear to provide the ejb's. This ear will be deployed to wildfly. Then i can code several webapps (or whatever) and only need the myproject-api.jar as a dependency.

I think many of provided libraries use this technic. faces-api, faces-impl for example.

Is there a way to do so i want?

Sorry for my english

@EJB 

private MyRemoteBean remoteBean; 

Does adding a lookup attribute to point to the java:global JNDI name of the target EJB help:

@EJB (lookup="java:global/testenterprise-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT/project-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/MyRemoteBeanImpl")

private MyRemoteBean remoteBean;
