    jndi - tomcat - jsp file

    zielonyplot

      Hi!
      I have a little problem: in my jsp file I need to get instance of EntityManager. Could somebody tell me how to do this? In POJO classes I simply use @In annotation, but it doesn't work in jsp files.
      Please, help!

          I forget - if it is impossible in jsp files, maybe it can be done in servlets? Please, help me how to get EntityManager instance in jsp or servlets.

            Witaj,

            What Tomcat version are you using? If it's lower than Tomcat 6, you should forget about expecting @PersistenceContext to work - servlets are managed components, but only for a servlet container that understands the notion of annotation processing that's introduced in Java EE 5. It should work with Tomcat 6 fine.

              So, in my servlet, I simply need to write something like this:

              import java.io.*;
              import javax.servlet.*;
              import javax.servlet.http.*;
              
              public class SomeServlet extends HttpServlet
              {
              
               @PersistenceContext
               private EntityManager em;
              
               public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
               HttpServletResponse response)
               throws ServletException, IOException
               {
              
               List lista = em.createQuery("from Topologia").getResultList();
               ........
               ........
               ........
              
               }
              }
              


              And It will work, right?

                You can't get the EntityManager in a jsp page. If you want it in a servlet and are using a SMPC called entityManager you can do Component.getInstance("entityManager"), but you will need to transaction demarcation yourself. In general Seam/JSF without you needing to mix your presentation and business logic like that (there are still some cases where you have to use a servlet).

                  So I have one question more: should I write exactly Component.getInstance("entityManager") or it can be Component.getInstance("EntityManager")? Where this String is declared?
