CDI injection loop

Question

I\'m running into a issue with CDI Injection into a Weld container in JBoss 7.1.1

I\'ve got the following object model :

@Stateless
class ServiceEjb          


        

Answer 1

I solved the problem by using javax.inject.Provider explicitly. Although I feel like this should be done under the hood by WELD automatically this was not the case for me too. This worked for me and solved my related problem.

class A {
    @Inject
    Provider b; // access with b.get()
}

class B {
    @Inject
    Provider a; // access with a.get()
}

I haven't tested it, but it could be enough to use one Provider to break the cycle, i.e. you don't need to use it in both classes.
