EJB simple client is not running

[Pratik Patil]

Hi,
I have just started EJB.
I am trying to run sample examples.
While running I am getting NullPointerException.
Do I missing anything?


I am using Eclipse JEE .


following are code files:
package ejb3inaction.example;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class HelloUserBean implements HelloUser {
public void sayHello(String name) {
System.out.println("Hello " + name + " welcome to EJB 3 In Action!");
}
}


package ejb3inaction.example;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface HelloUser {
public void sayHello(String name);
}



package ejb3inaction.example;

import javax.ejb.EJB;

import ejb3inaction.example.HelloUser;

public class HelloUserClient {
@EJB
private static HelloUser helloUser;

public static void main(String[] args) {


helloUser.sayHello("Curious George");
System.out.println("Invoked EJB successfully .. see server console for output");
}
}


Thanks in advance !

To inject a EJB in a standalone client, you will need a Application Client Container. See this thread for details.

Thanks !
What are the steps to create and deploy EJB application?

Which application server do you use? Usually, you will find tutorials for deploying the EJBs in the application server documentation. The JavaEE guide is also a good starting point

I am using JBoss 5.0 and Eclipse Galilo.
I have created new EJB project and source file which I have posted(Pl refer my first post).
When I do --> run on server --> I am getting error for persistance .xml .
Now, Pl tell me how to configure persistance.xml for MySql database.
And pl re correct my deployment steps if I am missing anything.

I personally never use IDEs to run the applications. So i won't be able to help there. If you are looking for tutorials on building, deploying and running EJB3 examples on JBoss, then follow the docs here

Hi Pratik,

This will help you a lot "Mikalai Zaikin's SCBCD 5.0 Guide, also available in Word and PDF format". The appendix of this guide will show you everything you need for your application.

Thanks,
