Hello-

I'm using AS7.1.1, packaging a bunch of EJBs within a WAR deployment, and am having trouble adding in CDI functionality.  The EJBs will be packaged in separate jar files, but I want to share a persistence unit between them.  To accomplish that sharing, I have a persistence.jar file containing nothing but a persistence.xml in its META-INF.

The problem comes in when I try to use @Inject to get an entity manager in the EJBs while including a beans.xml in the EJB jar files to "activate" CDI.  If I use @PersistenceContext, injection works fine.  If I use @Inject but don't include the beans.xml, injection works just fine.  The combination of the two, however, gives me this error message:

ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-1) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."sample-with-beansxml.war".WeldService: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."sample-with-beansxml.war".WeldService: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [EntityManager] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[field] @Inject private org.sample.TestEjb.em]

For that above error, I created a (very) small sample application.  It has one class, TestEjb, defined as follows:

package org.sample;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;

@Stateless
public class TestEjb
{
    @Inject
    private EntityManager em;
}

I also have a persistence.xml defined as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"
             version="1.0">

    <persistence-unit name="persistence-unit">
        <jta-data-source>java:/datasources/DS</jta-data-source>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

The whole thing is packaged as follows:

[sample-with-beansxml.war]

/WEB-INF

/lib

[persistence.jar]

/META-INF

persistence.xml

[ejb-with-beansxml.jar]

/META-INF

beans.xml (empty)

/org

/sample

TestEjb.class

If I take that same deployment and pull the beans.xml out of the ejb jar, it all works fine.

I'm assuming I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what it is.  Am I trying to mix two things that don't mix here?

EDIT:

I thought the problem was with a shared entity manager, but it's not.  It doesn't seem to work at all in AS7.1.1Final.  I repackaged the above to:

[sample-with-beansxml.war]

/WEB-INF

/lib

[ejb-with-beansxml.jar]

/META-INF

beans.xml (empty)

persistence.xml

/org

/sample

TestEjb.class

And I still get the same error!
