Jsf - ejb3 problem

[Stijn Cremers]

I'm trying to use jsf in combinatie with ejb 3 on websphere.
I have installed the websphere feature pack.

Jsf works fine, ejb 3 works also fine...
only the link between the 2 is not that fine....

when i try to access the ejb in the jsf backing bean:

public class WasProcessBean {

@EJB
private IWasProcessService wasProcessService;

Then the ejb is null.

But when i try to access the ejb from a servlet:

public class WasProcessServlet extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet implements javax.servlet.Servlet {

@EJB
private IWasProcessService wasProcessService;

That the ejb isn't null...

What is wrong???

Stijn,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

The specification says annotation based injection will work in Servlets and EJBs. Support in JSF backing beans is a vendor add on. My guess is WebSphere chose not to add it on. You would need to look up the EJB from the JNDI.
