POWhy can't I use @EJB with @Named?
text
Body
copied!<p>I basically am trying to inject a @Stateless bean with a local interface into a class annotated with @Named! My understanding is that injection is only possible when the injection point is managed (makes perfect sense), so for example it wouldn't be possible to inject into a POJO but you could inject into a Servlet, a JSF managed or another EJB.</p> <p>I would have thought that it would have been possible to subsequently use it with @Named! However I get a NullPointerException that specifically seems to imply that this in fact doesn't seem possible!?</p> <p>My classes look like this (stripped for clarity);</p> <pre><code>@Named public class EmailUtil { // Logger------------------------------------------------------------------- private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(EmailUtil.class.getName()); // Constructor-------------------------------------------------------------- public EmailUtil() { } // EJB---------------------------------------------------------------------- @EJB AuditDAO audit; // Methods------------------------------------------------------------------ public void sendEmail( String emailSender, String emailRecipient, String emailSubject, String emailHtmlBody, String emailTextBody) throws FailedEmailException { ... code removed for clarity ... // Call Amazon SES to send the message try { new SES().getClient().sendEmail(request); // Create an audit log of the event audit.create("Email sent to " + emailSender); } catch (AmazonClientException ace) { LOG.log(Level.SEVERE, ace.getMessage(), ace); throw new FailedEmailException(); } catch (Exception e) { LOG.log(Level.SEVERE, e.getMessage(), e); } } } @Stateless public class AuditDAOImpl implements AuditDAO { // Logger------------------------------------------------------------------- private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(AuditDAOImpl.class.getName()); // EntityManager------------------------------------------------------------ @PersistenceContext(unitName = "iConsultPU") private EntityManager em; @Override public void create(String event) { String subject; try { /* * If the current subject has authenticated and created a session we * want to register their ID. However it is possible that a subject * does not have an ID so we want to set it to unknown. */ subject = SecurityUtils .getSubject() .getPrincipals() .asList() .get(1) .toString(); } catch (Exception e) { subject = "UNKNOWN"; } Audit audit = new Audit(); audit.setUserId(subject); audit.setEventTime(Calendar.getInstance()); audit.setEvent(event); em.persist(audit); } } @Local public interface AuditDAO { public void create(String event); } </code></pre> <p>I've tried using @Inject as well but that doesn't seem to work either. Have I misunderstood the specification or just poorly implemented it?</p>
