Unfortunately, this is the best mechanism that we have, currently. The thing about the JEE5 spec is that it specified annotations for dependency injection, but did not standardize the mechanism for retrieving the would-be-injected objects (other than JNDI). Struts uses various different mechanisms for instantiating classes, it has it's own internal DI, some reflections, and even delegates to other mechanisms like Spring or Guice. But, the problem is that struts creates its own objects and it is the Application Server that does the EJB injection. > I wonder if there is a new approach to getting EJB 3.1 session beans > (stateless to be precise) which is what mostly I have to deal with.

(@EJB... ? :-) ) At this point, the only "simple approach" is JNDI lookups. The plugins that do this currently are as good as you are going to get for now. Since it is looking like we are going to move our internal DI toward the specification, you will probably have better support for JEE/EJB DI in the future. > Of course, I have already tested new GlassFish v3, even though I'll probably > be using new JBoss 6 (I have already tested it with my previous EJB3 Struts2 > projects and works ok, so I'd like to start my new projects directly with > EJB 3.1) > -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc.
