EJB Injection and NullPointerExcception
Development tools:
---------------
Linux
Java 6.x
JSF 1.2
richfaces-ui-3.3.1.GA
JBoss 5.1.0.GA
Liferay-5.2.3
Outline:
When EJB Stateless bean is injected into JSF/RichFaces managed bean and ran, the result is
NullPointerException.
I have tried using one of the followings without success:
(i) @EJB
(ii) @EJB(name = "DataConstraintController")
(iii) @javax.ejb.EJB(name = "DataConstraintController",
mappedName="odms/DataConstraintDAOImpl/local")
(iv) With explicit JNDI lookup:
javax.naming.InitialContext initialContext = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
| return (DataConstraintLocal)
initialContext.lookup("odms/DataConstraintController/local");
| } catch (Exception e) {
| e.printStackTrace();
| throw new RuntimeException("couldn't lookup
DataConstraintLocal", e);
| }
|
It is an ongoing project so changes are often made to the java files, but the deployment
files have not changed for
the past three months and it was runing until two days ago. And no one seem to know why
EJB injection is failing.
The ejb.jar, ejbClient.jar and *.war are in the same ear. Could it be a corrupt library?
Should I re-install JBoss?
Help! and thanks in advance.
