Error looking up ${email.jndi.lookup.binding} in JNDI

Question

Working with JBoss eap 6.4.12

Getting error:

Error looking up ${email.jndi.lookup.binding} in JNDI

Mapping this JNDI name in my java class:

@Resource(mappedName = "${email.jndi.lookup.binding}")
    private Session session;

I define this property in my build properties:

email.jndi.lookup.binding=java:/jboss/mail/Default

(removing \ after : in my build properties definition doesn't make a difference)

This is happened before to me on another project, in which changing the annotation property replacement property to true worked. But not this time.

Answer 1

ended up just adding a local bean

import javax.ejb.LocalBean;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class DefaultEmailManager  {

    public static final String JNDI_NAME = "java:jboss/mail/Default";

}

Then where I create my Session object:

private Session session;

try {
   InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
   session = (Session)ic.lookup(DefaultEmailManager.JNDI_NAME);

} catch (NamingException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
