| Title: Custom Injection |
| # Overview |
| |
| As noted in the [Injection of env-entry Example](injection-of-env-entry-example.html) |
| , the EJB 3.0 supported env-entry types are fairly limited. Also the use |
| of several <env-entry> tags in an ejb-jar.xml can get a bit verbose. |
| |
| OpenEJB does not restrict you to just these data types or require you to |
| use an ejb-jar.xml to declare them. |
| |
| - `@Resource` can be used on any type for which there is |
| `java.beans.PropertyEditor` |
| - You may `install your own` PropertyEditors and package them with your |
| app. |
| - Java Generics are supported (e.g. List<URI> myURIs) |
| - You may use a `META-INF/env-entries.properties` file as an alternative |
| to an ejb-jar.xml |
| |
| See [Built-in Type Converters](built-in-type-converters.html) |
| for a full list of supported env-entry types. |
| |
| The source for this example is the "custom-injection" directory located in |
| the [openejb-examples.zip](downloads.html) |
| available on the download page. |

| ## Bean Class |

| ## The META-INF/env-entries.properties file |
| |
| {snippet:id=code|url=openejb3/examples/custom-injection/src/main/resources/META-INF/env-entries.properties|id=props|lang=none} |

| ## The Custom Type and Editor |
| |
| Support for java.lang.Enum types is already built-in, but we've decided |
| we'd like to allow abbreviated versions of the enum constants to be usable. |
| We do this by creating a custom PropertyEditor for our Pickup enum like |
| so: |
| |
| {snippet:id=code|url=openejb3/examples/custom-injection/src/main/java/org/superbiz/enventries/PickupEditor.java|lang=java} |
| |
| We cleverly install this PropertyEditor in a static block in the Pickup |
| class that will be executed should someone actually reference the Pickup |
| type. |

| # Running it |
| |
| Running the example is fairly simple. In the "custom-injection" directory |
| of the [examples zip](openejb:download.html) |
| , just run: |
| |
| > $ mvn clean install |
| |
| Which should create output like the following. |
