Hello,

I am having problems injecting a seam component (a stateful session bean) into another seam component (also a stateful session bean)using the @In annotation. 

I'm getting the following exceptions:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:comp/env/jmat/MyListBean/local not found
Which then leads to the following exception:
org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: myList

I have configured the jndi-pattern in the component.xml as follows:

<core:init debug="true" jndi-pattern="java:comp/env/myProj/#{ejbName}/local"/>

After tediously going step by step using the debugger, I finally found where in the seam api the jndi call is made - Component.instantiateSessionBean().  The interesting thing is if I change the jndiName variable (in the Component class) while in debug from this value:

java:comp/env/myProj/MyListBean/local

To this value:

myProj/MyListBean/local

The lookup succeeds.

I am using Seam 2.0.1-GA and deploying to the OC4J 11 application server.  I have the EJB setup in the web.xml as follows:

<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>myProj/MyListBean/local</ejb-ref-name>
      <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
      <local>myProj.action.MyList</local>
     <ejb-link>MyListBean</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>

Please note that Seam finds this bean with no problems if I bind it to a richfaces component (as an example).  The problem only happens when I invoke a Seam component that has another Seam component injected.  I also confirmed via the OC4J Admin console that the EJB did indeed deploy properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem has been solved (thanks to mirko27).

I had to place the following in my ejb-jar.xml:

<enterprise-beans>
        <session>
            <ejb-name>MyManagerBean</ejb-name>
            <ejb-class>myproj.action.MyManagerBean</ejb-class>
         <ejb-local-ref>
             <ejb-ref-name>myProj/MyListBean/local</ejb-ref-name>
                <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
               <local>myproj.action.MyList</local>
               <ejb-link>MyListBean</ejb-link>
            </ejb-local-ref>
        </session>
</enterprise-beans>

Where MyListBean is the stateful session bean that is injected into the stateful session bean MyManagerBean.
