Giorgos Stamateris [http://community.jboss.org/people/g_stam] created the discussion "How to inject EJB3 session bean into another session bean with JBoss 6" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/611580#611580 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to migrate a project from JBoss 4.0.4 to JBoss 6. The project consists of an EJB 3 backend and a MyFaces 1.1.4 frontend. I have included the MyFaces 1.1.4 libraries in the JBoss 6 jsf deployer. I have a call from the frontend to a backend function through a helper class. PatientControllerEJB patientModule = BusinessHelper.getPatientServices();  patientModule.canCreatePatVisit( getUserContainer().getClientId(), patId, vType); After that call I get a NullPointerException at the backend canCreatePatVisit function, in the session bean patientModule. @Stateless    public class PatientControllerEJBBean extends ASBusinessLogicClass implements PatientControllerEJBLocal, PatientControllerEJBRemote {        @Resource private SessionContext sessionCtx = null;        @PersistenceContext(unitName="amedPU") EntityManager em;        @EJB private AdminControllerEJBLocal admContr;        @EJB private ConfigControllerEJBLocal confContr;        ...        public void canCreatePatVisit(int clientId, int patId, int visitTypeId) throws ValidationException {            IVisitType vt = admContr.getVisitType(visitTypeId);        ...        }    ...    } I debugged the project and I found out that +em+, +admContr+ and +confContr+ are all null. So I suppose there is a problem injecting a session bean in another session bean but I don't know what. I have changed the web.xml version to 2.5 in the frontend and I am using the JBoss 6 libraries. Any help would be appreciated. I'm including a portion of the stacktrace below in case it might be helpful.
