Well, since your EjbLocator class is not itself a Service (Stateless EJB or JMX), you can't inject into it. It's just a POJO; there's no way for the container to know that it should be scanned for dependencies or injection. So you can do one of a couple things: 1) Make your EjbLocator itself an EJB or 2) Put your EM in JNDI by configuring persistence.xml with the properties "jboss.entity.manager.jndi.name" and "jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name", and then do Context.lookup() for your EM instead of injecting it as a @PersistenceUnit. Hope this helps. S, ALR View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4069334#...
