Description

Seems like CDI is not activated for an EJB module with only @Stateless EJBs. The console also has the warning:

The application [ejb-1.0-SNAPSHOT] uses @Inject but CDI is not enabled. Maybe youd need to add a beans.xml file.

However the CDI 1.1 spec states that (section 12.1 Bean archives):

An implicit bean archive is any other archive which contains one or more bean classes with a bean defining annotation, or one or more session beans.

I've created a simple maven project that reproduces the problem. It has one EJB module and one web module. The web module uses @EJB to get an Stateless local interface view bean from the EJB module, which in turn tries to @Inject another bean from the same EJB module, but fails.

Steps:

• Download the [e-mail]
• extract and run mvn package
• Deploy the ear/target/ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear file to TomEE 7.0.1
• Access SEVER_URL/ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT/ outputs "some null", while expected would be a non null value. GlassFish 4.1 and WildFly 10 output a non null value for the same application.

Let me know if there are any more questions.
