The project build files are attached. Have two wars with a Servlet injecting a regular POJO from the same war (HelloWorldServlet injecting HelloWorld class) Deploy the ear that contains hello.war and goodbye.war. The log shows that only one bean is injected - only HelloWorld is injected and Goodbye is null. Now rename (or rebuild the ear with one war name changed) one of the war so that it is in different sorted order. (say hello.war to ahello.war or goodbye.war zgoodbye.war). When redeployed, now the HelloWorld is null and Goodbye is injected. The project structure is as follows. The maven source to build the project is attached. hello_EAR.ear +META-INF application.xml +hello.war +WEB-INF classes com.hello.HelloWorldServlet.class com.hello.HelloWorld.class web.xml beans.xml META-INF +goodbye.war +WEB-INF classes com.hello.GoodbyeWorldServlet.class com.hello.GoodbyeWorld.class web.xml beans.xml +META-INF
