Not the object you are injecting, but the object that is being injected...
Like here - http://struts.apache.org/2.x/struts2-core/apidocs/com/opensymphony/xwork2/inject/Container.html Foo has dependencies injected, but if you instantiate it as Foo foo = new Foo(); Then you won't get anything injected. But, if you want a fully injected copy of Foo, you need to get it from the container - Foo foo = c.inject(Foo.class); So, if you are '@Inject'ing your String, you have to make sure that the object that you are trying to read your String from is created by the Container. An easy example is com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory, the method - public Object buildBean(String className, Map extraContext, boolean injectInternal) throws Exception which calls - protected Object injectInternalBeans(Object obj) { if (obj != null && container != null) { container.inject(obj); } return obj; } IIRC, all beans pass through here at some point. -Wes On Mon, 2008-04-21 at 21:52 -0400, Musachy Barroso wrote: > It is just an string, like "devMode". > > musachy > > On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 8:00 PM, Wes Wannemacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Musachy, > > > > Is your object (injectee) instantiated by the container?
