How to inject EJB3 as constructor argument with Spring configuration

[sam White]

Hi,

I don't know how to inject an EJB3 bean into constructor parameter via Spring configuration.

Here is my controller:

@Controller

@RequestMapping("/category")
@Transactional
public class CategoryFinderController {
                @EJB private final CategoryManager categoryManager;

                  // trying to inject CategoryManager via Spring into the constructor:
                  @Autowired
                  public CategoryFinderController(CategoryManager categoryManager) {
                       logger.info("calling CategoryFinderController");
                       this.categoryManager = categoryManager;
                  }

CategoryManager.java is an Interface:

@Local
public interface CategoryManager {
    Collection<CategorySubcategories> findAll();
    Collection<CategorySubcategories> find(final String name, final String desc);
}

CategoryManagerImpl.java is a session bean:

@Stateless
public class CategoryManagerImpl implements CategoryManager {
//    @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "META-INF/wsdl/www.ixsystems.com.au/category-ws-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/services.wsdl")
    @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://www.ixsystems.com.au/category-ws-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/services?wsdl")
    private CategoryWebService_Service service;

    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(CategoryManagerImpl.class);

    @Override
    public Collection<CategorySubcategories> findAll() {
        List<CategorySubcategories> result = new ArrayList<CategorySubcategories>();
        try { // Call Web Service Operation
            ix.houseware.category.service.CategoryWebService port = service.getCategoryWebServiceImplPort();
            result = port.findAll();
            logger.info("Result = " +result.toString());
            System.out.println("Result = "+result);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
        }
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public Collection<CategorySubcategories> find(final String name, final String desc) {
        List<CategorySubcategories> result = new ArrayList<CategorySubcategories>();
        try { // Call Web Service Operation
            ix.houseware.category.service.CategoryWebService port = service.getCategoryWebServiceImplPort();
            result = port.find(name, desc);
            logger.info("Result = " +result.toString());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
        }
        return result;
    }

}

mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml file:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans     
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

        <context:component-scan base-package="ix.houseware.category.controller" />

        <bean
                class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
                <property name="prefix">
                        <value>/WEB-INF/pages/</value>
                </property>
                <property name="suffix">
                        <value>.jsp</value>
                </property>
        </bean>

        <jee:jndi-lookup id="CategoryManager" jndi-name="ejb/ManageMemberEJB" cache="true" />
    
</beans>

but the above jee: tag causes syntax error. However I think it is not right to use jnid-lookup for ejb3 bean in this case?

web.xml file:

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

        <display-name>Category Client Application</display-name>

                <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
                <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
                <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>

        <servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>

        <context-param>
                <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
                <param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
        </context-param>

Any suggestion is very appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
