I'm trying to use @Inject with JAX-RS. My problem is that @Inject is only working in Servlets. In JAX-RS resources I'm getting nullpointer and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. My code looks like this:

    </dependency>

</dependencies>

Beans.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
</beans>`

web.xml contains:

<resource-env-ref> <!-- Enable Weld CDI, also needs META-INF/context.xml entry --> <resource-env-ref-name>BeanManager</resource-env-ref-name> <resource-env-ref-type>javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager</resource-env-ref-type> </resource-env-ref>

working class: 

package com.tinf15B2.webengeneering.boundary;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import com.tinf15B2.webengeneering.facade.Control;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;

@Slf4j
public class StartUpService implements ServletContextListener {

@Inject
private Control serviceController;

@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
    serviceController.stopTweetListener();
    log.info(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Service was closed");
}

@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
    serviceController.startTweetListener();
    log.info(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Service started");
}
}

serviceController.startTweetListener() and serviceController.stopTweetListener() work. There's no nullpointer.

not working class:

import java.util.Date;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import com.tinf15B2.webengeneering.facade.Control;

@Path("/")
public class HashTagStatistic {

    @Inject
    private Control serviceController;

    @GET
    @Produces("text/html")
    public Response getStartingPage()
    {
        String output = "<h1>Hello World!<h1>" +
                "<p>RESTful Service is running ... <br>Ping @ " + new Date().toString() + "</p<br>";
        return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
    }   

    @Path("resources/hashtagstatistic")
    @GET
    @Produces("text/html")
    public Response getHashTagStatisticAsHtml(){
        return Response //
                .status(200) //
                .entity(serviceController.getDatabaseContent()) //
                .build();
    }
}

But when I try to call serviceController.getDatabaseContent() in this class I get a nullpointer.

I have no idead what's wrong. Would be awesome if anyone has a solution =)

Thank you!

  • @BalusC You've marked this as duplicate of Jersey2 (groupId `org.glassfish.jersey`) question, however original poster uses Jersey1 (groupId `com.sun.jersey`). A better link would've been this: http://stackoverflow.com/q/22994058/2492865 – Anton Koscejev May 30 '16 at 07:02

Your HashTagStatistic is a JAX-RS resource. JAX-RS resources have their own lifecycle handled by the JAX-RS implementation itself, and CDI is not part of this lifecycle. However, many JAX-RS implementations provide a CDI/JAX-RS bridge that you can enable.

You seem to be using Jersey 1 as your JAX-RS implementation, so this should help you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22995780/2492865

If you're considering about upgrading to Jersey 2, read this documentation: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/cdi.support.html
