I want to use Resource Injection and I have been looking around, but all I can find is threads about stuff that doesn't work related to JSF. Does Tomcat 6 support Resource Injection?
John, no.... Resource Injection is still very much the domain of the EJB container, and application server. Tomcat is a pure lite weight servlet container, although one could argue that there is limited application of the spec for injecting Resources into servlets, and I do see annotation classes that seem to be in development in TC's source code, it seems pure Resource Injection is still not a feature, and may never be.
Something I havnt tried, but I think its worth a look see, is Apaches OpenEJB project, I think if you add that to TC, you may get what you want. I think you will be able to inject resources into beans and use them from TC, and the framework seems nice and lite... otherwise I think you have to go for the heavy weights like geronomo, or glassfish.
Good Luck....
