Experts/Gurus/Friends
We are working with Spring 3.2, JPA 2, Hibernate 4.2 combo and facing this weird null pointer issue while trying to inject any spring annotated beans into EmtyInterceptor implemented as shown below. We have tried annotating this bean as well as a spring bean but no luck.
Any help to solve this puzzle here is highly appreciated.
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import org.hibernate.EmptyInterceptor;
import org.hibernate.type.Type;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
...
@Named
@Transactional
public class AuditEmptyInterceptor extends EmptyInterceptor {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
// Didnt inject - Null
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
// Didnt inject - Null
//@PersistenceUnit
//private EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory;
// Didnt inject - Null
//@Inject
//private AuditHelper auditHelper;
@Override
public boolean onSave(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] currentState,
String[] propertyNames, Type[] types) {
System.out.println("**********inside OnSave() in Audit Empty Interceptor******************");
if(entity instanceof xxAuditInterface || entity instanceof xxxCompBranchInterface){
for (int i = 0; i < propertyNames.length; i++) {
...
...
// Null entityManager - NPE here
javax.persistence.Query query = entityManager.createQuery("Select c From CompanyDO c Where c.companyName =:companyName");
query.setParameter("companyName", xxx);
CompanyMasterDO companyMasterDO = (CompanyMasterDO) query.getSingleResult();
...
...
}
}
}
}
Everywhere else in the application the injection works like a charm without any issues. Here is our applicationContext.xml

And our spring-persistence.xml is below. Please note that I have added Emptyinceptor property here.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<persistence-unit name="xxx" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

...
...
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.ejb.interceptor"
value="com.company.demo.audit.AuditEmptyInterceptor" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Let me know your valuable thoughts/tips on this. Once again thanks for your time to read this post.
Also I have read the post Injecting JPA's Entity Manager in Hibernate's EmptyInterceptor. But looks like they are manually trying to find the bean with name to resolve and I feel there could be some other way.
