That's indeed strange... Just to make sure: you deployed the "atmosphere-chat-cdi-ear-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.ear" from the zip I linked in my second mail to TomEE's "apps" directory?
I did the following: 1. Download and unpack TomEE from https://tomee.apache.org/download/tomee-1.6.1-snapshot.html 2. Create apps-directory and edit tomee.xml 3. Change logging to slf4j via log4j and configure TRACE-logging to see the error output. 4. Copy "atmosphere-chat-cdi-ear-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.ear" to apps and run startup.bat These steps reproduce the error for me. (on all TomEE 1.6.X versions) I am running the server on Windows 7 x64, what platform are you using? Can that be an issue? There must be some difference... -- View this message in context: http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/CDI-not-working-inside-EAR-with-Atmosphere-BeanManager-tp4668939p4668946.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
