Hi Matej,

Thank you for your reply but I managed to resolved the issue of getting the id. It is something fundamental and yet I had no idea where I had gone wrong till I read a Dzone article about null pointer exception.

I thought using Dependency injection will solve my problem, after trying things out for so long.

However, I would still be interested to find out how WELD CDI is different from EJB’s ( I beg your pardon if there isn’t cos I hadn’t the chance touch on EJB since I left my studies). 

I read from Adam Biden’s using Weld CDI with Tomcat so I do not know if cost savings is the reason. 

Hope to hear from you again.

Many thanks.

Karen

Hello Karen,

Is your code public on GitHub (or somewhere else)?
It would be easier to try and help you if I could see the code.
From just the description I don't really understand how do you leverage CDI in your design and which bits work and which don't.

Regards
Matej
