I've tried this same code inside a servlet and rt is not null. Is it possible to inject an EJB directly into a jsp?Annotations/injections are not supported in jsps as far as I can tell from reading the servlet and jsp specs. If you can find some indications they are supported they might not be too hard to implement.
Per JSP.7.1.11, they're supported in a JSP container, but only with in tag handlers and event listeners. So, agreed that above scenario isn't supported by the spec. That said, supporting it doesn't seem too unreasonable, either. If someone were to get this enabled, I wouldn't complain...
