Eve,

It's important to note that the Java EE 5 spec specifies that injection take place only in "managed" classes. In the app client, there are only two managed classes: the main class (as specified either in the manifest or on the appclient command line) and the optional log-in callback class.

Also, the spec also mandates that in the app client main class only static elements can be injected.

Here is one general approach that some people find works for them:

1. Define the injected static fields on the app client's main class:

@EJB
private static UsersRemote usersRemote;

2. Write a static accessor method on the app client's main class:
static UserRemote getUserRemote() {
    return usersRemote;
}

3. From anywhere in any of the classes in your app client use Main.getUserRemote() when you need to use the EJB.

Hello Ian/Everyone,
 
Yes,
 
I have carried out a lot more testing and found that this seems to work
on the first main class or any class that is run with appclient. Any other class
that I call from the main class, results as NullPointer when I try to insert. E.g:
 
If I try insert data of the same bean from the main class, I get the following:
 
C:\jee\STOCKINFOR2>appclient -client STOCKINFOR2-app-client.jar
successfully recorded new Department details
 
However, if I call the class from the main class, then I get the following:
 
C:\jee\STOCKINFOR2>appclient -client STOCKINFOR2-app-client.jar
Caught an Exception: can not insert new Department details
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at stockinfor2.NewDepartclient.saveNewDeptdetails(NewDepartclient.java:1
22)
        at stockinfor2.NewDepartclient.newdepatbutActionPerformed(NewDepartclien
t.java:113)

So I guess, I have to use just one JFrame client and use containers such as panels and so forth, to separate this.
Or I have to use lookups - Context.
 
This' now the limitation with server side JEE combined with Client side programming.
 
Thanks for your help.

Sorry,

 

I am copying because, this' the only copy I have of the above thread which really helped me. Maybe

someone from sun could explain if this issue is addressed in glassfish V3 and or EJB3 and how

do we use it?
