EntityManager.createQuery() throws NullPointerException

Question

'm getting NullPointerException everytime any EntityManager.createQuery() or EntityManager.createNamedQuery() is called.

I'm using Glassfish 4.0, Hibernate 4.3.5 and EJB.

I have following hierarchy:

DaoTemplate where I have PersistenceContext and generic methods

@Singleton
public class DaoTemplate<T extends IdEntityInterface> {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "pu_name")
    protected EntityManager em;
    ....
}

Abstract class with constructor beacuse bean can't extend another bean.

public abstract class AbstractDaoTemplate<T extends IdEntityInterface> extends    DaoTemplate<T> {

    public AbstractDaoTemplate(Class<T> entityClass) {
        super(entityClass);
    }

}

And then I have Dao.

@Singleton
public class SomeDao extends AbstractDaoTemplate<SomeEntity> {

    public SomeDao() {
        super(SomeEntity.class)
    }        

    @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)
    public List<SomeEntity> someDaoMethod() {
        ...
        em.createQuery("SomeQuery");
        ...   
    }
}

When someDaoMethod is invoked NullPointerException is thrown on line with em.createQuery("SomeQuery") but em is not null.

I've also tried to call em.createQuery("SomeQuery") from debugger window, here is the output:

Exception occurred in target VM:

and persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="pu_name" transaction-type="JTA">
      <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
      <jta-data-source>jdbc/kweportal</jta-data-source>
      <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
      <properties>
          <property name="hibernate.ejb.cfgfile" value="hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
      </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Answer 1

I've figured out by myself.

persistence.xml must looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence                  
                            http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="pu_name" transaction-type="JTA">
      <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
      <jta-data-source>jdbc/kweportal</jta-data-source>
      <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
      <properties>
          <property name="hibernate.ejb.cfgfile" value="hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
          <property name="hibernate.transaction.jta.platform"       value="org.hibernate.service.jta.platform.internal.SunOneJtaPlatform" />
      </properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
