While using @Resource on a field in EJB and defining it's value in ejb-jar.xml, the field type doesn't seem to be automatically resolved. It must be explicitly defined using <env-entry-type>.

I attach exemplary application (+ sources) here:
http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/download/627566-41282/ENVTestAS7.jar

The deployment will fail if the following line is commented:
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>

Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: Could not determine type for <env-entry> java:comp/env/myEntry please specify the <env-entry-type>.

After uncommenting it, the deployment runs fine.
