OK, almost there.

I have an ear with the following structure for which dependency injection is
still not working:

ear/lib/jar-containing-resources.jar ear/lib/jar-containing-resources.jar/META-INF/beans.xml ear/ejb-jar.jar ear/war-file.war

My resource class is in the jar-contianing-resources.jar. Note that I have
placed an empty beans.xml file in that jar file's META-INF directory, per the
CDI specification.

I am "publishing" my application according to section 2.3 of the JAX-RS 1.1
specification. That is, I have an empty Application subclass annotated with
@ApplicationPath and no web.xml file.

The result is that--nicely!--I can confirm that resource classes need not be in
a web application; they can indeed be in the lib directory of an ear. My
application is published, and "answers the phone" as I would expect.

However, my @RequestScoped resource, which contains an @EJB-annotated field,
does not have that field injected.

Did I put my beans.xml in the wrong place? Am I missing anything else obvious?
If not, I will happily attach my test project to this thread.
