    EJB3 injection in servlet with JBoss AS 7

    evgeniy3054

      Hi everybody!! I have enterprise application which includes ejb(jar) and web(war) modules and I want to use EJB3 stateless bean in web servlet. When i try to use @EJB or @Inject annotations for injecting EJB3 component in servlet, i get 'null'.  Can i use @EJB or @Inject in this case? Are there any ways for injecting ejb with annotations instead of simply new InitialContext().lookup? THX!!

          Hi there, and welcome to the JBoss forums!

           

          Can you show us the code that is not working?

            I have same question too.

            Now, I try my best to use JSF MBean instead of Servlet (Actually, JSF MBean is Servlet too).

              Hi all,

               

              Just tried it out and on a 7.1 jboss server it works. I created a new maven project in eclipse (jboss tools) with jboss-javaee6-ear-blank-archetype (version 7.1.3.CR3.

               

              add my servlet to the ....-web project

              add my ejb to the ....-ejb project

               

              I must added a dependency to the ...web project pom :

                  <dependency>
                  <groupId>javax.ejb</groupId>
                  <artifactId>ejb-api</artifactId>
                  <version>3.0</version>
                  </dependency>

               

               

              and my servlets and ejb works

               

               

              servlet code :

               

              package org.jboss.servlet2.servlet;

               

              import java.io.BufferedReader;

              import java.io.BufferedWriter;

              import java.io.IOException;

               

              import javax.ejb.EJB;

              import javax.servlet.ServletException;

              import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;

              import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

              import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

              import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

               

              import org.jboss.servlet2.ejb.CalcEJB;

               

               

               

               

               

              /**

              * Servlet implementation class Calc

              */

              @WebServlet("/Calc")

              public class Calc extends HttpServlet {

                  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

                 

                  @EJB

                  private CalcEJB ejb;

                 

                  /**

                   * @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()

                   */

                  public Calc() {

                      super();

                      // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

                  }

               

                  /**

                   * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

                   */

                  protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

                      response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_ACCEPTED);

                      try(BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(response.getWriter())){

                         

                          wr.append("<p>sum(1+2 )= " + ejb.sum(1,2)+ " <br/></p>");

                         

                         

                      }catch(IOException ioEx){

                          ioEx.printStackTrace();

                      }

                  }

               

                  /**

                   * @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

                   */

                  protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

                      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                  }

               

              }

               

              ejb code:

               

              package org.jboss.servlet2.ejb;

               

              import javax.ejb.LocalBean;

               

              import javax.ejb.Stateless;

               

              @Stateless

              @LocalBean

              public class CalcEJB {

               

                  public int sum(int...numbers){

                      if(numbers == null){

                          return 0;

                      }

                      int result = 0;

                      for(int number:numbers){

                          result+=number;

                      }

                      return result;

                  }

                 

              }

               

               

              so what is the difference between my code and yours?

                Hi all! Thx very much for your reply. Your code is working) Sorry, but my question was not full. When i try to use inject ejb in class which extends HttpServlet - it is working good, but when i use struts2 actions is not working.I suppose that strats2 action is not related with HttpServlet. If this true, can we use @EJB ot  @Inject?

                  Struts doesn't have injection so it won't work there. I guess you could still access the CDI BeanManager from JNDI and get to a bean from there.
