ic.lookup("java:comp/env/") to EJB3.x

[jhenrique]

Hi all.

I'm trying to migrate from EJB2.x to EJB3.x but i'm facing some problems with the lookup.

I was using JBoss 4.2.2 and I migrated to wildfly 9.0.0 Full. This is all ok, working fine.

The problem is as follows:

I have an interface that extends EJBHome and has the create() method header;

I have an interface that extends EJBObject and has other method headers;

I also have a class with the code below (it's a servlet):

public class WUFAction {
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
     
          WUFFacadeRemote engine;

          InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

          Oject objRef = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/wUF");
      
          com.wuf.WUFFacadeHome home = (com.wuf.WUFFacadeHome)  PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, com.wuf.WUFFacadeHome.class);
          engine = home.create();

          ...
          ...
     }     
}

This class will become a @WebServlet and the new code should be something like this (I guess):

@WebServlet
public class WUFAction {

     @EJB
     WUFFacadeHome facadeHome;

     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
          
          WUFFacadeRemote engine;     
     
          ...
          ...

          engine = facadeHome.create();
     
          ...
     }
}

But always I get a NullPointerException at facadeHome, doesn't matter what I try to do, even changing from @EJB to @Inject, changing the .class files to the same package, annotating the interfaces with @Remote, ou @RemoteHome or other stupid tries.

I'm using WildFly Full 9.0.0.Final, starting with no errors.

JNDI bindings are processed with no errors too.

I really don't know what i'm doing wrong (maybe i'm doing all wrong, i'm sorry for that, but i'm a bit lost here.)

Thank you.
