Hi -

I have an EJB with the following resource injection:
@Resource(name="wm/WorkMgr",type=com.ibm.websphere.asynchbeans.WorkManager.class)
private WorkManager wm;

I also have the following in my ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml

<session name="MyEJBImpl">
<resource-ref name="wm/WorkMgr" binding-name="wm/WorkMgr"/>
</session>

This was working just fine in WebSphere 6.1.0.31 - we just upgraded to 6.1.0.45, and now we get the following error:

Caused by: com.ibm.ws.asynchbeans.exception.AsynchBeanException: ASYN0064E: The value null of the res-type resource reference element WorkManager is not right. Only the following values are allowed: com.ibm.websphere.asynchbeans.WorkManager, commonj.work.WorkManager.
