"+this.em);+ +        this.em.persist(account);+ +    }+ +... etc ...+ *This works FINE from a standard ejb-client*... +...(some lines missed out!)...+ +AccountManager accountManager = (AccountManager) context.lookup("AccountManagerBean/remote");+ +accountManager.createAccount("Charles Bronson");+ +...+ Great! I have then set up webservices using wsconsume and wsprovide - all went fine again. Everything deployed fine too - since when running a webservices client ... the accountManager.createAccount() method *IS called (some debugging print statements that i added  DO output as expected)* +...(some lines missed out!)...+ +AccountManagerService service = new AccountManagerService();+ +AccountManagerBean ejb = service.getAccountManagerBeanPort();+ +ejb.createAccount("Charles Bronson");+ +...+ *BUT the injected entity manager in the bean is null !! and so the process falls over* Going back again  to the regular ejb client - all is still okay. Does anyone have any ideas?? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/749325#749325] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
