I have an ear package that uses some libraries to re-use some common things. One of these common things is a SettingsBean that does some generic settings for the application. However, the SettingsBean cannot be found with CDI, even though there is a beans.xml file present.
Here is the file structure of my EAR file:
META-INF
lib
main-ejb.jar
main-web.war
|
`-- WEB-INF
| |
| `-- lib
| | |
| | `-- primefaces.jar
| | common-web.jar
| | |
| | `-- META-INF
| | | |
| | | `-- resources
| | | | |
| | | | `-- WEB-INF
| | | | |
| | | | `-- mainTemplate.xhtml
| | | `-- maven
| | | `-- MANIFEST.MF
| | | `-- beans.xml
| | `-- com
| | |
| | `-- SettingsBean.class
| `-- classes
| `-- web.xml
| `-- glassfish-web.xml
| `-- faces-config.xml
| `-- beans.xml
`-- META-INF
`-- index.xhtml
SettingsBean:
@Named(value = "settingsBean")
@SessionScoped
public class SettingsBean implements Serializable {
//Code here
}
index.xhtml:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
template="/WEB-INF/mainTemplate.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
Content comes here
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
In the mainTemplates.xhtml I call the settingsBean. So when I call the index.xhtml page, I get following error:

Any help on how I can access the Named bean that is inside the library jar? What I've read so far is that you need to have the beans.xml file inside it, otherwise CDI will not scan the jar for Named beans, but as you can see, I have the beans.xml.
