      I have hibernate entities integrated with spring.  I have a GenericDaoJpa where I inject the EntityManager.  When I access entityManager for any queries the entityManager is null.  I do not see any errors or issues on JBoss startup where all of this is deployed.
      When I call the genericDao.getAll() method and on inspection shows that entityManager is null and has not been injected.

      Can you please help or point me in the direction to investigage this further?

       

      My persistence.xml

       

       

      <persistence-unit name="ties-2">

            <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

            <jta-data-source>java:/ties-2Datasource</jta-data-source>

            <!-- The <jar-file> element is necessary if you put the persistence.xml in the WAR and the classes in the JAR -->

            <properties>

               <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>

               <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
               <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
               <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" value="java:/ties-2EntityManagerFactory"/>
            </properties>
      </persistence-unit>

       

       

      My applicationContext.xml entry

       

      <jee:jndi-lookup id="entityManagerFactory" jndi-name="java:/ties-2EntityManagerFactory"/>

       

       

      My java: Namespace in JBoss JMX console

       

      java: Namespace
        +- ties-2EntityManagerFactory (class: org.jboss.jpa.injection.InjectedEntityManagerFactory)

       

      Global jndi namespace in JBoss JMX console

       


      +- persistence.unit:unitName=ties2.war (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

          type.getName() + " o").getResultList();   
      }

      @Override
