EJB Annotation does not work in AbstractServlet

[Maxime Thieu]

Hello,

I am using OpenEJB 3.1 in Tomcat.

I use the Annotation @EJB in my Servlet in order to obtain my EJB and it
works well.

But If I use the Annotation @EJB in an abstract Servlet (which is the
superclass of all my Servlets), it does'nt work : it seams that the EJB
Annotation is not "interpreted" by openEJB.

Is this normal ? Is there any way for referencing EJB in abstract Servlet ?

Thanks in advance,

Maxime

Example :

public abstract class AbstractTestServlet extends HttpServlet {
    
    @EJB
    protected MyEJB myEJB;
    
    protected void testEJB() {
        myEJB.test();
    }

}

public class TestServlet extends AbstractTestServlet {
    
    @EJB
    protected MyEJB myEJB2;
    
   ...

   protected void testMyEJB() {
        myEJB2.test(); // this works
        testEJB(); // this doesn't work : NPE
        myEJB.test(); // this doesn't work : NPE (myEJB is null)
    }

}
