在JBoss中将@EJB注入Spring Bean

Question

We have a Spring managed bean with an @EJB field

import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.LogoutHandler;

public class MyLogoutHandler extends LogoutHandler {

    @EJB(name="MyService")
    private MyService myService;

    ...
}

And in our spring xml, we have

<beans:bean class="org.springframework.context.annotation.CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor">
    <beans:property name="alwaysUseJndiLookup" value="true" />
</beans:bean>

This works in WebLogic and Glassfish, but not in JBoss 7.1.2 (See stacktrace @ [1]).

Digging through the Spring code, seems like it converts the JNDI Name (ie "MyService") with the Java EE standard container prefix "java:comp/env/" [2] which JBoss does not seem to support. From the JBoss logs, it seems to support only the following:

java:global/my-ear/my-ejb/MyService!my,package.MyServiceLocal
java:app/my-ejb/MyService!my,package.MyServiceLocal
java:module/MyService!my,package.MyServiceLocal
java:global/my-ear/my-ejb/MyService
java:app/my-ejb/MyService
java:module/MyService

However, those seem to work except for those prefixed with "java:module" which causes a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException.

Now my question is, is there a way for me to inject my EJB beans into my Spring Beans, that would a.) still allow the same code base to run in WebLogic, and Glassfish b.) preferably, without having to rewrite every @EJB injection or without specifying a ref-bean for every @EJB bean that will be injected into my spring bean?

Answer 1

For some strange reason, it now works. JBoss can now lookup my Service EJBs. The weird thing is, the only thing I think I did was made my JAXRS classes @Stateless (from @RequestScoped). Though I did not do any changes from my Services beans, tinkering with the JAXRS classes seems to have made those Service EJBs available to my Spring beans as well.

EDIT: For those looking for alternative answers, in jboss, java:module/env/ seems to work as an alternative to java:comp/env/.
