WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies when injecting EJBs that implement interfaces - glassfish-3

Here is the situation.
I've got the following interfaces:
public interface Parent { }
public interface ChildOne extends Parent { }
public interface ChildTwo extends Parent { }
and 2 EJBs:
#Stateless
public class FirstBean implements ChildOne { }
#Stateless
public class SecondBean implements ChildTwo { }
And also this CDI Bean:
#Named
#SessionScoped
public class TestController implements Serializable {
#Inject
private FirstBean firstBean;
#Inject
private SecondBean secondBean;
}
While trying to deploy this on Glassfish 3.1 I get the following exception:
Exception while loading the app : WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [FirstBean]
with qualifiers [#Default] at injection point [[field] #Inject private com.test.controllers.TestController.firstBean]
org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [FirstBean]
with qualifiers [#Default] at injection point [[field] #Inject private com.test.controllers.TestController.firstBean]
at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateInjectionPoint(Validator.java:305)
When both EJBs implement the Parent interface, the exception is the same.
Also, I tried adding qualifiers, but that didn't change anything.

I just played around with your construct, read a bit of the weld docu and found out the following.
You are using EJBs that implement an interface, so the no-interface view is not possible anymore (obviously), but you are trying to directly access the implementation. As soon as you declare it as an EJB you have to keep in mind the conventions. So, if you define an interface you have to use it to get access to the EJB. Changing it to the following, should work out:
#Inject
private ChildOne firstBean;
Accessing the implementation even though an interface is defined is just possible for plain CDI Managed Beans (classes without the #Stateless/#Stateful annotations). So get rid of your annotation and it will work out.
Just for your information, if you are using Glassfish. If you stick to your EJBs and try to access the parent interfaces method you will run into this bug / exception.

Better late than never:
Annotating the SLSB aditionally with #LocalBean works for me with JBoss AS 7.1.1. I don't like the idea of creating the interface for no added value.
Using your example:
#Stateless
#LocalBean
public class FirstBean implements ChildOne { }
#Stateless
#LocalBean
public class SecondBean implements ChildTwo { }

Have you tried using #EJB annotation rather then the CDI #inject annotation?
E.g.
#Named
#SessionScoped
public class TestController implements Serializable {
#EJB
private FirstBean firstBean;
#EJB
private SecondBean secondBean;
}

Mixing CDI and EJB results in error at start

we have mixed the usage of CDI and EJB in our application. At startup, we receive the error Caused by: org.jboss.weld.context.ContextNotActiveException: WELD-001303: No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped.
We don't understand where exactly the problem is, so here is just the overall structure of the code:
#Stateless
public class SomeFacade {
#Inject
private SomeService someService;
}
#Stateless
public class SomeService {
#Inject
private SomeDao someDao;
}
#Stateless
public class SomeDao {
#Inject
private EntityManager entityManager;
}
#ApplicationScoped
public class EntityManagerProducer {
#Produces
#ApplicationScoped
public EntityManagerFactory createEntityManagerFactory() {
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("one");
return emf;
}
public void close(#Disposes EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
entityManagerFactory.close();
}
#Produces
public EntityManager createEntityManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
return entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
}
}
Is there something we can change in general?
The error is raised because your code tries to access a request-scoped CDI bean in a moment when there's no request scope. Request scope is only created for incoming requests (HTTP requests via Servlet or JAX-RS, JMS MDBs, asynchronous EJB calls, etc.).
If you get this error during startup, I guess you access a request-scoped bean before CDI is fully started, e.g. from a singleton EJB. Try moving your code into a CDI that starts on start-up after CDI is initialized with:
#Dependent
public class CDIStartupBean {
public void startup(#Observes #Initialized(ApplicationScoped.class) Object event) {
// Start-up code here. The CDIStartupBean can inject request-scoped beans
}
}
Ondrej, your answer was helpful but was not quite the solution in my case.
First, I somehow resolved the start-up issues, but received the same error when handling arriving messages / REST requests. The solution was to annotate the service class with #ActivateRequestContext. This enabled CDI injections in all classes that are used by the servive.

autowiring selective beans into a list reference

I have a service interface I with implementaions I1,I2,I3...I10 out of which I want to use I1-I5 to be autowired as a List<I> in controller class C. The I6-I10 should not be be autowired. How can I achieve this. Moreover the I implementations are annotated #Service beans. I do not want to move them to xml declarations.
Based on the comment by mvb13 I have tried to weave a solution for the problem....
So I write a class extending ArrayList and mark it a Component
#Component("mysublist")
public class MyList extends ArrayList implements ApplicationContextAware
{
#Value("comma.sep.eligible.beans.classnames")
private String eligibles;
private ApplicationContext appCtx;
#PostConstruct
public void init()
{
Map allBeans = appCtx.getBeansOfType(I.class);
for(Object bean:allBeans.values())
{
if(eligibles.contains(bean.getClass().getSimpleName()))
{
add(bean);
}
}
}
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext appCtx)
{
this.appCtx = appCtx;
}
}
Now I can autowire the above bean in my required class definition as:
#Service
public class MyService
{
#Resource(name="mysublist")
private List<I> myReqdBeans;
......
}
*Please ignore the generics related implications in the code.
You should use #Qualifier. It defines any subset that you need.
#Autowired
#Qualifier("MySubset")
private List<I> list;
But I think you should move your bean definitions in xml to use <qualifier ... /> property. I think you haven't another option to specify qualifier.
The #Qualifier annotation should give you what you need. You need to apply it in two places:
On the #Service beans that you wish to include in the sub-list
On the #Autowired list injected into your controller
So addressing the #Service beans first:
#Service
#Qualifier("MySubList")
public class MyService implements IMyService
{
}
And then within your Controller:
#Controller
public class MyController
{
#Qualifier("MySubList")
#AutoWired
private List<IMyService> myServices;
}
This instructs Spring to #AutoWire all IMyService implementations #Qualified as "MySubList"

How can I use same EJB in two different CDI beans and retrieve the values set from one bean into the another?

I have a stateful session bean where a list is maintained:
#Stateful
public class CartDAO{
private List<ShoppingCart> tempCart;
public void add(ShoppingCart shoppingCart){
tempCart.add(shoppingCart);
}
public List<ShoppingCart> getCart(){
return tempCart;
}
#PostConstruct
public void init(){
tempCart = new ArrayList<>();
}
}
Controller1 to add to the cart:
#Named
#SessionScoped
public class Controller1 implements Serializable {
#EJB
CartDAO cartDao;
public String addToShoppingCart() {
cartDao.add(shoppingCart);
}
}
Now, i want to ask you could i get the added items to the list from another cart?
#Named
#SessionScoped
public class Controller2 implements Serializable {
#EJB
CartDAO cartDao;
public String getShoppingCart() {
System.out.println(cartDao.getCart());//returns null
}
}
Obviously the above code returns null.
How do I retrieve the list from another controller. Any help will be much appreciated.
I don't see any obvious mistake here (are you sure that you don't call Controller2#getShoppingCart() before adding any items do your CartDAO?) but here are couple of my notions
you should have your CartDAO implement some interface or make it #LocalBean
all stateful beans should have method annotated with #Remove so you can clean the resources used in the bean (close datasources and son) and bean will be removed from the memory after this call
now it's recommended to use #Inject everywhere instead of #EJB, it's the same (you have to use #EJB only when you inject remote beans)
And also one point, if the System.out.println(cartDao.getCart()); returns null than it means the #PostConstruct haven't been called which is strange. Can you provide some more info about container and your environment?Also show us imports, this is big source of mistakes.

Best way to pass reference of injected dependency in spring controller

I have a Spring portlet controller class. In this class, there is a dependency like this:
#Autowired
protected ServiceClass someService;
#Autowired
protected ApplicationContext context;
From the controller, there is a utility class being called like this:
UtilityClass.loadStaticData((WebApplicationContext)context);
Inside UtilityClass, I have:
public static synchronized boolean loadStaticData(WebApplicationContext context){
ServiceClass someService = (ServiceClass) context.getBean("someService");
...
}
My question is: Is there any advantage to getting the handle of the someService in such a complicated way? We could have just passed the reference 'someService' from Controller class #1 to the UtilityClass. The author is no longer available so I am asking here.
This is basically what dependency injection tries to avoid: getting a dependency from the container instead of having the dependency injected by the container.
This utility class should be a Spring bean, where the service would be injected. And you could then inject this utility bean inside the controller.

EJB 3.1. Is #Local annotation needed?

So far, I almost always worked with no-interface EJBs and have a slight understanding about the need of #Local annotation. Consider this example:
public interface MyBeanIntf { void doStuff(); }
#Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyBeanIntf { public void doStuff(){ } }
Should the MyBeanIntf be marked as #Local? I don't see any benefit from that, because even when I don't annotate it as #Local, I still can use DI to properly inject it into UI Controller:
#Named
#SessionScoped
public class TestController implements Serializable {
// injection works perfectly, even when MyBeanIntf is not marked as #Local
#Inject
private MyBeanIntf myBean;
// or even like this:
// #EJB
// private MyBeanIntf myBean;
}
Let's make it more complex:
public interface MyBeanIntf { void doStuff(); }
public class MySuperBean implements MyBeanIntf { public void doStuff() { } }
#Stateless
public class MyBean extends MySuperBean { }
Is MyBean now considered a valid Local EJB bean? I have some doubts because it implements the interface indirectly.
If your EJB implements some interface but you don't specify (neither on the EJB nor the interface itself) which interface it is (#Remote, #Local) than it's assumed that it's a #Local one.
Therefore your code:
public interface MyBeanIntf { void doStuff(); }
#Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyBeanIntf { public void doStuff(){ } }
is semantically identical to the following:
#Local
public interface MyBeanIntf { void doStuff(); }
#Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyBeanIntf { public void doStuff(){ } }
When it comes to the second part of your question, I think that section 4.9.2.1 Session Bean Superclasses from EJB 3.1 FR spec would be interesting for you. From my understanding (so it might not be correct), it seems that your bean should not be considered as exposing a valid Local interface because of the following excerpt:
#Stateless
public class A implements Foo { ... }
#Stateless
public class B extends A implements Bar { ... }
Assuming Foo and Bar are local business interfaces and there is no
associated deployment descriptor, session bean A exposes local
business interface Foo and session bean B exposes local business
interface Bar, but not Foo.
Session bean B would need to explicitly include Foo in its set of
exposed views for that interface to apply.
Update:
As an addition one more excerpt from the spec:
A session bean class is permitted to have superclasses that are
themselves session bean classes. However, there are no special rules
that apply to the processing of annotations or the deployment
descriptor for this case. For the purposes of processing a particular
session bean class, all superclass processing is identical regardless
of whether the superclasses are themselves session bean classes.
