Stateless EJB, JEE6, SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor

[bostan]

I've got a web application and we are using JEE 6 (EJB Lite). I've defined a Stateless EJB that I have also exposed as a web service with the following annotations.

@Stateless
@Interceptors(SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor.class)
@WebService

The problem is that while the container recognizes the class as an EJB and a WebService, it seems that Spring is not being called and the rest of my classes initialization is never happening. I've defined a beanRefContext.xml file in the root of the classpath, which in turn loads the applicationContext.xml. But it seems that Spring is simply not being loaded. Am I overlooking something or isn't this possible with JEE 6 in a Web Container? Looking at the JEE docs for EJB Lite, it appears that Interceptors are supported, so I'm wondering why nothing is loading on the Spring side of things.

Thanks for the help..
