NullPointerException in HelloWorld

[qbacomarch]

Hi,
I'am using NetBeans5.5 Beta, and latest JBoss 4.0.4GA Patch1.
My problem is, when trying to run simple HelloWorld application I have NPE message.
What do I do wrong or what should I do more?

here is
enterprise bean class:

package hello;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class HelloBean implements hello.HelloRemote {
public HelloBean() {}
public String komunikat() {
return "HelloWorld";
}
}

remote interface:

package hello;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface HelloRemote {
public String komunikat();
}

application client:

package hellojb;
import javax.annotation.EJB;
import hello.HelloRemote;
public class Main {
@EJB
private static HelloRemote bin;
public Main() {
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("HERE: " + bin.komunikat()); //<----this line makes exception
}
}

log:
Applicaton Deployed

run-jar:

Since your client is a standalone application, the @EJB annotation is ignored. Hence the NPE.

And what to do with this NPE??

Try the following code:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

HelloRemote bin = (HelloRemote) ctx.lookup("HelloBean/remote");

It needs some exception handling.

Depending on the method of deployment the JNDI name may vary. Look in the JMX console -> JNDIView for the true name.
