[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Dependency injection @EJB throws NullPointerException

[timony]

Hi,

before I updated to Jboss 4.0.5 GA (from 4.0.4), my injection in any @Session bean worked fine (both beans are located in the same ejb3 package):


  | @EJB
  | CarControllerLocal carController;
  | 

But after I updated to JBoss 4.0.5, it throws (see bellow) an NullPointerException.

Does anyone know, where is the problem? Is the problem with the new Jboss, or with the dependences?

In the ejb modules pom.xml, I use these dependences:

<dependencies>
  | 	<dependency>
  | 		<groupId>jboss</groupId>
  | 		<artifactId>jboss-ejb3-all</artifactId>
  | 		<version>alpha8</version>
  | 		<scope>provided</scope>
  | 	</dependency>
  | 	<dependency>
  | 		<groupId>jboss</groupId>
  | 		<artifactId>jboss-ejb3x</artifactId>
  | 		<version>1.0</version>
  | 		<scope>provided</scope>
  | 	</dependency>
