NameNotFoundException when running simple webapp in JBOSS 6 but Not on JBOSS 7

Question

I have a simple web-app (REST service and EJB) that when I run on JBOSS 7 works fine. But on JBOSS 6 I get NameNotFoundException. I am unable to figure out why it works with JBOSS 7 but not with JBOSS 6. my pom.xml includes dependencies for java ee 6 api. Here is the code:

jax-rs activator:

import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

@ApplicationPath("rest")
public class RestApplication extends Application {
}

EJB

import java.util.Date;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class ServiceImpl {

    public Date getCurrentDate(){
        return new Date();
    }

}

REST

import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

@Stateless
@Path("current")
public class ServiceFacade {

    @EJB
    ServiceImpl service;

    @GET
    public String getDate(){
        return service.getCurrentDate().toString();
    }

}

pom.xml

Are you deploying the ejb in a war file? – Tensity

yes, all in war file. how did it work in Jboss 7 but not jboss 6? or how would I bundle just ejb in jar and deploy from eclipse? – Patin

Ok, first check this #5213674 maybe can help you – Tensity

I tried what is suggested in this post. but did not help – Patin

Why do you use the @Stateless annotation in your rest endpoint class? – Transvestite

If you want to inject ejb in rest, you have to have @Stateless in rest endpoint. please see these below: #3028334 – Patin
