How to inject a Session Bean into a Message Driven Bean?

Question

I\'m reasonably new to Java EE, so this might be stupid.. bear with me pls :D

I would like to inject a stateless session bean into a message-driven bean. Basically,

Answer 1

It seems that my problem was related to Inversion of Control and caused by my lack of knowledge and Netbeans' suggestions for Class/Interface names.

I found out that - in order to find the the right bean and the right interface - I should name them properly. Here's what works:

@Remote
public interface Test {

  public void doSomething();
}

@Stateless
public class TestBean implements Test {

  public void doSomething() {
    // business logic goes here
  }
}

And in the MDB I access 'Test' not 'TestBean':

@MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/mvs.TestController", activationConfig =  {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue")
    })
public class TestController implements MessageListener {

    @EJB
    private Test testBean;

    public TestController() {
    }

    public void onMessage(Message message) {
      testBean.doSomething();
    }
}
