I have same problem with CDI beans in my case.

I have common.jar project where i placed the CDI beans. (without beans.xml) and I have webapp.war that contains common.jar in it`s lib and beans.xml.

when i call a cdi bean from jsf, i get it is not reachable exception:/

project structure is created using maven : - maven-archetype-quickstart for common.jar - maven-archetype-webapp for webapp.war

I am using eclipse/juno en deploy to Glassfish 3.1.x.

Resolved: For EJB and JAR packaging you should place the beans.xml in src/main/resources/META-INF/. For WAR packaging you should place the beans.xml in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/. Remember that only .java files should be put in the src/main/java and src/test/java directories. Resources like .xml files should be in src/main/resources.

from topic: CDI: beans.xml, where do I put you?
