NPE with EntityManagerFactory

[hellek]

I always get a NullPointerException with this:

public class Servlet1 extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet implements javax.servlet.Servlet {

 @PersistenceUnit(name="EJBProject1")
 EntityManagerFactory emf;

 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
 response.setContentType("text/html");
 response.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache");
 response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
 response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

 EntityManager em1 = emf.createEntityManager();
 Query query1 = em1.createQuery("select b from benutzer b");
 List users = query1.getResultList();
 PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();

 for (Iterator iterator = users.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
 Benutzer benutzer = (Benutzer) iterator.next();
 writer.print(benutzer.getName());
 }
 writer.flush();
 }
}

I failed to figure out whats going wrong for hours, had my problems with some other issues too. But unlike those, I did not manage to fix this one.

The exception:

I use JBoss 4.2.0 and Eclipse 3.3M6 with M6 WTP.

Here is the persistence.xml:

</persistence>

The Datastore-Definition (I put the driver in place and it gets loaded successfully according to the logs)

By the way, I came across this problem while following this tutorial: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/j2ee/scenarios/jee5_application_creation_tutorial.html
I want to do what is done there, with JBoss, Hibernate and a MySQL Server

Here you can find my project files: http://hellekalek.com/diverses/workspace.zip

I really hope somebody can tell me what I am doing wrong. I lost all hope. Its just such a small tutorial that I want to follow, it can't be that difficult ... I thought. (of course its a little different because they don't use JBoss, but its really not a big project)
