EJB injection with indirection via web.xml is ignored

If a web application contains a Servlet and a REST service (as CDI Bean) with an @EJB(lookup="java:comp/env/xxxx") injection for a indirection via web.xml/jboss-web.xml the CDI Bean will ignore it without any message whereas the Servlet inject the EJB proxy as expected.

This approach is used to be able to change/adjust the target EJB by changing the DD and not the application code.
