EntityManager NullPointerException Spring+Hibernate+Maven

Question

This is the thing ... I have my Maven web project based on spring3.0 and i wanted to use hibernate+jpa for my DA ... but when i try to use the entityManager objet i just get a nullPointerException ... here is the code:

@Repository
@Component
public class DAOPersonImp implements DAOPerson{

@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
@Override
public Person getById(int id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return entityManager.find(Person.class, id);
}

@Override
@Transactional
public List<Person> getAll() {
    Query query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT * FROM  PERSON");
    List<Person> persons = null;
    persons = query.getResultList();
    return persons;
}

when i try to create the query objet i get the error.

This is my applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>

And the error!

Answer 1

PersistenceContex not injecting entitymanager .So you are getting NullPointerException makesure persistence.xml in correct place and its unit name is correct .I also post a sample configuration so you can configure applicationContex accordingly.

    <!-- Prints used SQL to stdout -->

    <property name="showSql" value="${hibernate.show.sql}"/>

    <!-- Generates tables. -->

    <property name="generateDdl" value="${hibernate.generate.ddl}"/>

    <property name="databasePlatform" value="${postgres.hibernate.database.platform}"/>

</bean>



<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"

      destroy-method="close">

    <property name="driverClass" value="${postgres.datasource.driver.class}"/>

    <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${postgres.datasource.jdbc.url}"/>

    <property name="user" value="${postgres.datasource.username}"/>

    <property name="password" value="${postgres.datasourse.password}"/>

    <property name="minPoolSize" value="1"/>

    <property name="acquireIncrement" value="1"/>

    <property name="maxPoolSize" value="3"/>

</bean>



<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="postgres.transactionManager"/>



<bean id="postgres.transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">

    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>

    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>

</bean>



<bean id="entityManagerFactory"

      class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">

    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>

    <property name="jpaVendorAdapter" ref="jpaAdapter"/>

    <property name="persistenceUnitManager" ref="persistenceUnitManager"/>

    <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="PersistenceUnit"></property>
