I am getting this exception
Exception during request processing: javax.servlet.ServletException: /createTicket.xhtml @29,71 value="#{createTicket.tickets.subject}": Target Unreachable, 'tickets' returned null

tickets is an entity bean as defined like this

@Entity
@Name("tickets")
@Table(name = "tickets", catalog = "test")
public class Tickets implements java.io.Serializable {

and the JSF form has this value

<h:inputText id="subject" required="true"
 value="#{createTicket.tickets.subject}"/>

and my action object in java has this

@Stateful
@Name("createTicket")
public class CreateTicketBean implements CreateTicket {

 @In EntityManager entityManager;

 @In(required=false)
 @Out(required=false)
 private Tickets tickets;

How do i make sure the values get passed from JSF to the backing bean ? What am i missing here?

In regular generated code, we have forms that access entityhome using .instance, but i dont see that type of usage in examples so i am kind of confused.

please help
