APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The injection of data source only works if the resource
  reference binding is defined in the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB)
  module containing the EJB into which the CDI bean is injected.
  

Local fix

• Customer has found that if he moves ibm-managed-beans-bnd.xml
  into EJB2 then everything works but it is unacceptable because
  they have to have one central EJB module and multiple auxiliary
  modules some with and some without data access and they can not
  define all resource references at the central module level.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty    *
  *                  Profile versions 8.0 and 8.5.5 users of     *
  *                  Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) and *
  *                  EJB.                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CDI Injection across EJB modules        *
  *                      with resource bindings might not work.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a resource reference binding is defined in an EJB module
  that does not contain the EJB into which the CDI bean is
  injected, injection could fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CDI container was updated to look across EJB modules for
  binding information.
  
  The following Java Virtual Machine custom property must be set
  to true to enable the new behavior:
  
  com.ibm.ws.webbeans.crossEjbModuleBindings(default:false)
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the Recommended
