JBoss - Autowiring list - @Resource, @Inject throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

Question

Env - JBoss 5.1, Spring 3.1.2, jdk 1.5

I am trying to autowire a list. As per the discussion here Auto-wiring a List using util schema gives NoSuchBeanDefinitionException, @Resource doesn't work with JBoss.

<util:list id="reportTypes">
  <value>PDF</value>
  <value>CSV</value>
  <value>XML</value>
</util:list>

@Inject
private List<String> reportTypes;

I also tried using @Inject, but I get the same exception. What am I missing ?

I am using the JSR 330, com.springsource.javax.inject-0.9.0.PFD.jar file for @Inject as mentioned here http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?78737-JSR-330-Inject-Spring-3-0

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException:
No matching bean of type [java.lang.String] found for dependency 
[collection of java.lang.String]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire
candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@javax.inject.Inject()}

EDIT using

@Resource(name = "reportTypes")
private List<String> reportTypes;

throws

java.lang.RuntimeException: mapped-name is required for reportTypes of deployment app.war 
at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.injection.WebResourceHandler.loadXmlResourceEnvRefs(WebResourceHandler.java:287)

Using @Resource, I get java.lang.RuntimeException: mapped-name is required for ... deployment.....war. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10105155/jboss-5-1-spring-resource-annotation-not-working — Tushar Mishra, Nov 29 '12 at 10:08
The following should work just fine: @Resource(name="reportTypes") private List reportTypes; — Stefan Podkowinski, Nov 29 '12 at 10:55
I've edited my problem description and added the exception for using @Resource. — Tushar Mishra, Nov 29 '12 at 11:09

I've battled with this problem a few times myself. I don't have an exact answer to your question, other than the fact that I've moved to using @Inject @Named pairs. That seems to work most of the time.

The reason @Resource doesn't work, to my knowledge, is not the fault of jboss itself, but the fault of the version of tomcat bundled by jboss.
