Answer 1

Shared libraries are not considered for locating component-defining annotations (like @ManagedBean), so the component is not found, which means its @EJB is not found while building the java:comp namespace. Your options are:

1. Mention the JSF bean in faces-config.xml in the WAR.
2. Place the JSF bean in the WAR.
3. Define the <ejb-ref> in web.xml.
4. Define the ejb-ref with annotations in a dummy "resource producer" bean in the WAR.

For #4, an example would be:

@ManagedBean
@EJBs({
   @EJB(name="helloworld.HelloBean", type=SampleService.class)
   // ... etc
})
public class ResourceProducerBean { }
