Access DAO in REST call TOMCAT

Question

I want to access data through my dao when using REST call. My dao works well with the webapp. But when I use the webservices I created, I have a null pointer exception.

Here is my code :

@Path("/hello")

public class HelloWorldResource {

@Inject
private IAppDao appDao;

@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
@Path("/{idApp}/{currentVersion}")
public Object checkUpdate(@PathParam("idApp") String idApp,
        @PathParam("currentVersion") String currentVersion) {
    if(idApp == null || idApp.isEmpty() || currentVersion == null || currentVersion.isEmpty())
    {
        ErrorResponse error = new ErrorResponse();
        error.setCode(400);
        error.setMessage("bad_request_error");
        error.setReturnUrl(false);
        return Response.status(400).entity(error).build();
    }

    App app = appDao.findAppByName(idApp);
    if(app != null)
    {
        AppResponse response = new AppResponse();
        response.setDataVersion(app.getDataVersion());
        response.setName(app.getName());
        response.setUpdatable(app.isUpdatable());
        response.setVersion(app.getVersion());
        return Response.status(200).entity(response).build();   
    }
    else
    {
        ErrorResponse error = new ErrorResponse();
        error.setCode(400);
        error.setMessage("bad_app_name_error");
        error.setReturnUrl(false);
        return Response.status(400).entity(error).build();
    }
}

and error stack :

Null pointer is on that line :

App app = appDao.findAppByName(idApp);

Any idea to solve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

I got the same issue with my @Stateless EJB.

I resolved it adding @Stateless above the declaration of my public class. Like this :

@Path("/hello")
@Stateless
public class HelloWorldResource {

@EJB
private DaoHello daoHello;


(...)

The configuration in my applicationContext.xml is :

<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="resthub" />
<property name="persistenceUnitManager" ref="scanningPersistenceUnitManager" />
<property name="jpaDialect">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaDialect" />
</property>
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="false" />
</bean>
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<map>
<entry key="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect" />
<!-- Utile juste pour créer les tables EN LOCAL, ne pas commiter décommenté -->
<entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>
