PersistenceContext EXTENDED throws NullPointerException

[umajeric]

Hi,
A have a simple component:

import java.io.Serializable;
import si.irose.itrack.entity.Keg;

import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.persistence.*;

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class KegTest implements Serializable {
    @PersistenceContext(type=PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
    EntityManager entityManager;

    public KegTest() {
    }
    
    public Keg getKeg() {
        return entityManager.find(Keg.class, 80l);
    }
}

whenever I call

#{kegTest.keg}

I get the exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I am using hibernate 3.5.0-CR-2 with Glassfish V3 (glassfish-v3u1-web-b08-03092010).

any idea?

[umajeric]

I forgot to mentioned if I use

@PersistenceContext

without

type=EXTENDED

, then it works, but I get LazyLoading Exception.

thanks for help

[nickarls]

Have you tried the @Produces/@Inject that's recommended in the spec/refdoc?

[umajeric]

Did you mean to try with this solution:

@Qualifier
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD})
public @interface CustomerDatabase {

}

public class UserDatabaseProducer implements Serializable {
    @Produces @CustomerDatabase @PersistenceContext(type=PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
    public EntityManager userDatabase;
}

@Inject @CustomerDatabase EntityManager entityManager;

I tried this. The error is the same.

[nickarls]

Can you test it on a JBoss AS 6.0 M2?

Trying to narrow down if it's a GF integration thing. I recall seeing passing TCK tests for that case in JBoss...

[umajeric]

I tried to test it on JBoss AS 6.0 M2, but I keep getting an error:

So I took the example that comes with Weld 1.0.1-Final - weld-login and changed it. I only added a persistence.xml file, in pom.xml I added dependencies for hibernate:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.5.0-CR-2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
            <version>3.5.0-CR-2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>3.5.0-CR-2</version>
        </dependency>

and added a class mentioned above (KegTest) and an entity:

import javax.persistence.*;

/**
 * Represents an beer keg
 * 
 * @author umajeric
 * 
 */
@Entity
@Table(name = "keg")
public class Keg implements java.io.Serializable {

    private Long id;
    private String serial;

    public Keg() {
    }

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(name = "id")
    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Column(name = "serial", length = 20)
    public String getSerial() {
        return serial;
    }

    public void setSerial(String serial) {
        this.serial = serial;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Keg(id=" + id + ")";
    }
}

I tested on latest glassfish (glassfish-v3u1-web-b09-03172010), and the error is still here.

I also noticed that if war package was unziped (as directory) that I get this error (probably bug in JBoss 6):

ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] Error starting static Resources: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /home/apl/jboss6M2/server/jbossweb-standalone/deploy/weld-login/WEB-INF/web.xml does not exist or is not a readable directory

Hi Uros,

You can't use Extended Persistent Context without Stateful Session Bean. It was design for SFSB not even SLSB or POJO. Put @Stateful on your class, it will work as expected.

Extended Persistent Context is not available for POJOs. If you need any further explanation, let me know.
