I am a rookie in services and now I am finding an issue when injecting my EJB on it, it always comes null. I saw people with this issue in several posts as well, new or olds, but the solutions that was proposed by them either didn't work or I didn't know how to implement it.

I am using tomcat v7 + jersey implementation v1.8.

The solutions that I tried so far:

  1. Use spi injection, as result, the instance was there, but the my EntityManager was always null;

  2. Making the service @Stateless, always got null as well;

  3. Add transaction attribute like this post suggests, still null coming;

  4. Last one I didn't knew how to implement, it is in this post in here, to implement a provider

The Facade that I am trying inject is this one that I made:

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;

@LocalBean
@Stateless
public class AutoEntityFacade extends EntityFacade {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "myauto-unit")
    private EntityManager manager;

    @PostConstruct
    public void setup() {
        setEntityManager(manager);
    }

}

My service class is also quite simple, but the injection is not working properly:

import br.com.aes.myauto.model.exception.HttpBusinessException;
import br.com.aes.myauto.model.person.Person;
import br.com.aes.myauto.service.facade.AutoEntityFacade;
import br.com.aes.myauto.service.facade.EntityFacade;
import br.com.aes.myauto.service.rest.CrudService;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

@Path("/person")
@Stateless
public class PersonService extends CrudService<Person> {

    @QueryParam(value = "name")
    private String name;
    @QueryParam(value = "lastName")
    private String lastName;
    @QueryParam(value = "email")
    private String email;

    @Override
    protected void setup() throws HttpBusinessException {
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(name)) {
            addParameter("name", "%" + name + "%");
        }
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(lastName)) {
            addParameter("lastName", "%" + lastName + "%");
        }
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(email)) {
            addParameter("email", "%" + email + "%");
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected String buildQuery() {
        return "select obj from Person obj " + getQuery();
    }

    @Override
    protected String buildCountQuery() {
        return "select count(obj) from Priority obj " + getQuery();
    }

    private String getQuery() {
        boolean firstClause = true;
        String result = "";
        String connector = "and";

        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(name)) {
            if (firstClause) {
                result += "where ";
                firstClause = false;
            } else {
                result += connector;
            }
            result += " obj.name like :name ";
        }
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(lastName)) {
            if (firstClause) {
                result += "where ";
                firstClause = false;
            } else {
                result += connector;
            }
            result += " obj.lastName like :lastName ";
        }
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(email)) {
            if (firstClause) {
                result += "where ";
                firstClause = false;
            } else {
                result += connector;
            }
            result += " obj.email like :email ";
        }

        return result;
    }

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "myauto-unit")
    private EntityManager manager;

    @EJB
    private AutoEntityFacade entityFacade;

    @Override
    protected EntityFacade getEntityFacade() {
        return entityFacade;
    }

    @Override
    public EntityManager getEntityManager() {
        return manager;
    }

}

Is there anything that I am missing? This is my project structure:

project structure

As you can see, I also provided the beans on both web and service layer. In my service I have a test class, so I know that jersey is working properly and accepting the parameters.

What am I missing here?

I changed the container to see if I could have any more detailed exception, since tomcat wasn't being that helpful, these are the results, which I still can't find out.

Well, at last I found a way to do so that isn't that bad.

The way I did to make it work is probably known by most, (even myself, shame on me), but due the scenario, it didn't seemed to be the best approach.

I recreated some parts of my system in which I could eliminate the EJB and stay with the EntityManager only, having that done, the EJB or persistenceContext was also not viable, so I created a new entityManagerFactory and that did the trick.

private EntityManager manager;
private EntityManagerFactory emf  = null;

public PersonService() {
    if (manager == null){
        emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("myauto-unit");
        manager = emf.createEntityManager();
    }
}

Not complicated to be implement and easy to perform the test.

Cheers
