The timer is getting created without any issue, but when the @Timeout method is getting invoked I am getting the below excetion: ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.TimerImpl] (EJB-Timer-ee98a936-c65a-4bbb-b697-93f88ca37f1c[target=jboss.j2ee:ear=app.ear,jar=app.backend.jar,name=AssetCreationCompleteTimer,service=EJB3]) Error invoking ejbTimeout java.lang.NullPointerException         at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)         at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)         at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)         at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)         at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeTarget(MethodInvocation.java:122)         at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:111)         at org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessContainer.callTimeout(StatelessContainer.java:682)         at org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessContainer.callTimeout(StatelessContainer.java:199)         at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimedObjectInvokerBridge.callTimeout(TimedObjectInvokerBridge.java:44)         at org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.TimerImpl$TimerTaskImpl.run(TimerImpl.java:664)         at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512)         at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462) My looks like: @Stateless @LocalBinding(jndiBinding = "com.app.backend.maintenance.AssetCreationCompleteTimerLocal") public class AssetCreationCompleteTimer implements AssetCreationCompleteTimerLocal {   @PersistenceContext(unitName = "unitName")   private EntityManager entityManager;   @Resource(mappedName = "java:/JmsXA")   private QueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory;   private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());   @Resource   private SessionContext sessionContext;   @Override   public void scheduleNextExecution(Date dateToExecute, boolean isCancelExisting) {     TimerService timerService = sessionContext.getTimerService();     for (Object o : timerService.getTimers()) {       if (o instanceof Timer) {         Timer timer = (Timer) o;         // if current Date is greater than or after the existing timers next run date, cancel inactive timer         if (new Date().after(timer.getNextTimeout())) {           timer.cancel();           continue;         }         // if date to schedule next run is less than or before the existing timers next run date, cancel the current timer         // only if isCancelExisting is set to true.
