EJB 3.1 Dependency Injection Failed

Question

i have created a stateless session bean like this :

@WebServlet(name = "ProductController", urlPatterns = {"/ProductController"})
public class ProductController extends HttpServlet {

  @EJB
  private ProductFacadeBean productBean;
}

@Stateless
public class ProductFacadeBean extends AbstractFacade<Product> implements ProductFacadeLocalInterface {
  @PersistenceContext(unitName = "OnlineStorePU")
  private EntityManager em;

  protected EntityManager getEntityManager() {
    return em;
  }

  public ProductFacadeBean() {
    super(Product.class);
  }

}

@Local
public interface ProductFacadeLocalInterface {

  void create(Product product);

  void edit(Product product);

  void remove(Product product);

  Product find(Object id);

  List<Product> findAll();

  List<Product> findRange(int[] range);

  int count();

}


public abstract class AbstractFacade<T> {
  private Class<T> entityClass;

  public AbstractFacade(Class<T> entityClass) {
    this.entityClass = entityClass;
  }

  protected abstract EntityManager getEntityManager();

  public void create(T entity) {
    getEntityManager().persist(entity);
  }

  public void edit(T entity) {
    getEntityManager().merge(entity);
  }

  public void remove(T entity) {
    getEntityManager().remove(getEntityManager().merge(entity));
  }

  public T find(Object id) {
    return getEntityManager().find(entityClass, id);
  }

  public List<T> findAll() {
    javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
    cq.select(cq.from(entityClass));
    return getEntityManager().createQuery(cq).getResultList();
  }

  public List<T> findRange(int[] range) {
    javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
    cq.select(cq.from(entityClass));
    javax.persistence.Query q = getEntityManager().createQuery(cq);
    q.setMaxResults(range[1] - range[0]);
    q.setFirstResult(range[0]);
    return q.getResultList();
  }

  public int count() {
    javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
    javax.persistence.criteria.Root<T> rt = cq.from(entityClass);
    cq.select(getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().count(rt));
    javax.persistence.Query q = getEntityManager().createQuery(cq);
    return ((Long) q.getSingleResult()).intValue();
  }

}

Question :

1. What is the error about ? How to solve it ?

1. When i created the session for entity bean using netbeans it created the abstract facade for us ? What is the purpose ? I know facade pattern is to serve as interface to route the request ?
2. What is the use of ejb-jar.xml ?

All settings are default. The ejb bean is created inside java ee 6 web application rather than in another war or jar. Glassfish 3.1 server.

Please help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to inject the bean by refering to its interface and not to its implementation directly. Something like this ..

@EJB
private ProductFacadeLocalInterface productBean;

You can then access the bean using the interface methods that you exposed in ProductFacadeLocalInterface.

Answer 2

you must use the interface. If you use Seam Solder and CDI you can specify the exact implementation with

@Inject
@Exact(ProductFacadeBean.class)
