Hello, I tried out some examples where a servlet in the web part of an EAR tries to access a SessionBean thats in the ejb-jar of the ear. As I read, something like this should give me a reference that I can use to access the Session bean through the local interface: | @EJB | private StatelessSession sless; | Where "StatelessSession" is the name of the local interface. Now it happens that sless always stays null. It does not get initialized correctly (And there is nothing about a problem visible in the logfiles). I tried this out by myself building a project, and I tried out an Enteprise Application Example that comes with Netbeans 5.5. The Netbeans example is called "ServletStateless". This example does just what I want. I deployed it in jboss 4.0.5 and got a null pointer exception just a the line of code where "sless" gets used the first time. Thats just the same behaviour I had in all my self built examples. The interesting thing is that all these examples work fine when I deploy in the Sun Application Server 9. So, whats the problem with Jboss here? Regards, Sven View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4039535#...
