Spring 3 MVC + EJB 3 + Jboss 5 = @EJB injection problems

[Garakk]

Hello,
I've tried many solutions so far and I did not succeeded, so I decided to ask you for help because I'm loosing my faith I can do this.
What I have:
- 3 EAR's with: 1) Some Stateless Beans + code which uses those beans 2) Some piece of classes using the same Beans as "1" but attached to this EAR 3) Spring 3 MVC based application + same Beans attached to this project
All three EAR's are deployed to Jboss 5.1.0.GA.

It's great that "2" EAR classes can inject Stateless beans with just "@EJB" annotation.

And now the problem. I would like to use the same beans at "3"'rd EAR - Spring MVC based" - and I would like to inject them as usual using "@EJB" annotation. I'm still failing with error:

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'myFormController': Injection of resource dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dbController' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not bound

root cause

I'm using

context:component-scan base-package="..."

I've tried

<bean id="jndiFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.support.SimpleJndiBeanFactory">
		<property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
	</bean>

and

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

as well as "AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"

and

	<bean class="org.springframework.context.annotation.CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor">
    <property name="alwaysUseJndiLookup" value="true" />
	</bean>
	
 	<bean id="dbController" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
		<property name="jndiName" value="ejb/dbControllerBean" />
		<property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
	</bean>

with different jndiNames, like: "java:comp/env/<beanName>", or "java:module/<beanname>/local", or "java:global/<beanname>"....

(still not sure what should be the correct name here, "2" EAR classes uses those beans just with name like "dbControllerBean" and that's all)

and few other solutions I found over then net. Still the same exception.


please help me, give me a hint... what I'm doing wrong? How it should be done in the best way?
