That is what I am going to try next. But this seems like it shouldn't need to happen. After all, an EJB project does not get loaded like a web project. That was the point for creating the SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor. It allows an EJB to gain access to the Spring managed objects without having the container loaded. The SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor looks for a file named beanRefContext.xml and loads the Spring container.
