autowired ejb failing to be wired

[joelbcohen]

I have an ejb defined that runs in jboss.
The ejb layer is instantiated by jboss but the applicationProperties is never set -- even when I mark it as Autowire. It's as if the at Autowired isn't being read. I have tried changing it to at Resource but then I get a different failure:

[ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=Tpa2LieEjb.jar
java.lang.RuntimeException: You did not specify a at Resource.mappedName()

The only problem with the ejb below is the applicationProperties are never set!

Stateless
public class Tpa2LieControllerImpl implements Tpa2LieControllerLocal, Tpa2LieControllerRemote{
	PersistenceContext(name="manager1")
	EntityManager em;
	
	Autowired
    private ApplicationProperties applicationProperties;
	
	Long currentClaimsProcessed = 0L;
	private ProcessService processService = null;
....

I have an application-Context.xml which does:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.xxx.tpa2lie"/>
and instatiates correctly:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

Repository
public class ApplicationProperties {
	public ApplicationProperties(){
		System.out.println("initializing ApplicationProperties");
	}
}

Any suggestions or help is appreciated. Thanks.
I have removed the "at signs" on the annotations because the forum board doesn't like them in posts.

I can answer my own question.

Ejb 3 spec can only inject j5ee resource dependencies ... DataSources, EJB's, Servlet Context, etc.

It cannot at this time be used to inject POJO's like applicationProperties into EJB layer.
