Hi to all,

my ear file contains the ejb.jar and webapp.war files; in my webapp I have a servlet into which I'd like to inject an EJB reference.

From the servlet, the following code works perfectly:



However, trying to achieve the same by injection, results in a NullPointerException as soon as I try to run one of the bean's methods



Am I missing something here?

Regards

Hi,

I think that injection is not possible in web tier.
So jndi lookup is the only possible option.

Alejandro,

you may want to check your server against the list of Java EE 5 compatible servers here

Hey,

I know JBoss 4.0.4 does not support EJB injection into servlet container. It suppose to fix on 5.0

I'm Using JBoss 4.2.2 GA, so maybe that's the problem... oh well, I'll stick to jndi lookup meanwhile.

Thanks!

Yes, JBoss4.2.2 does not support EJB injection in servlets.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
