Dependency injection is not possible from a Struts Action class

Thanks to Debu for pointing out that when trying to use dependency injection JAVA EE 5 support limits this only to managed classes such as EJBs, Interceptors, Servlets, etc. I was attempting to do this from a Struts Action class and was not able do so, now I know why.

See Debu's blog entry for more details:

In the end I was forced into using regular JNDI lookup as follows from JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 / OC4J 10.1.3.1 from a Struts Action class:

 HttpSession session = request.getSession();
 ResultPager bean = (ResultPager) session.getAttribute("pagerbean");

 if (bean == null)
 {
   try
   {
     Context ctx = new InitialContext();
     bean = (ResultPager) ctx.lookup("ResultPager");
     bean.init(_pageSize, "AllObjectsRo.countAll", "AllObjectsRo.findAll");
     session.setAttribute("pagerbean", bean);    
   }
   catch (NamingException ex)
   {
     throw new ServletException(ex);
   }

 }
