i've attached a maven project that generates a random ear containing 100 EJBs that are inter-denendent. the graph generated is directed (no loops). graph roots are @Singleton @Startup beans that have a @PostConstruct method. in this method, they access all of their injected @EJBs, which then do the same recursively. the ears generated deploy fine for small cases (5 beans), but when trying to deploy a 100-bean ear several injections fail.
