Re: Container Mange Persistence

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I thought that in the Java EE 5 spec, EJB's are supposed to be
injected into managed beans. At least it works fine on WebSphere
Application Server V7. I realize though that WAS 6.1 with the feature
pack is not JEE5, that's why I created a utility class to find EJB for
manged beans via a JNDI lookup.

I'm not sure when resource injection happens, but I think it's vendor
specific. Seems to me regardless of how you retrieve the EJB it should
perform resource injection. I will probably try to inject a
SessionContext to see if that injects properly. Also, I should
probably see if an EntityManagerFactory will inject into a servlet.

Sorry, kind of thinking out loud here. Maybe it will trigger some
thoughts for someone else too ;-) I've been battling this too long.
Wish I could just upgrade to WAS V7 and be done with, but sadly I am
not allowed.
