Error while trying to run StatelessSessionBean

Hello All,

Im very new to EJB 3. I was trying to run a very simple SessionBean, and Im getting the NullPointerException. The code are as follows:

BeanClass(serverpack.BeanClass)
--------------------------------
package serverpack;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class BeanClass implements BeanInterface {
public void message() {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
Component Interface(serverpack.BeanInterface)
----------------------------------------------
package serverpack;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface BeanInterface {
void message();
}
I compiled these two classes successfully, added them to myapp.ear and deployed them in the GlassFish server.

I wrote a client class, which is as follows:
Client Class: (clientpack.BeanClient)
-------------------------------------
package clientpack;

import javax.ejb.EJB;
import serverpack.*;

public class BeanClient {
@EJB
private static BeanInterface bInterface;

public static void main(String... args) {
bInterface.message();
}
}

When I tried to run this from the command line, I got a NullPointerException. Im sure Im missing some step. Could anyone of you please guide me through this?

Kind Regards,

You must run your class with an ACC application client container, otherwise the normal java ignore the adnotations.

Thanks for the reply. Can you please be more elaborate on the ACC? How to invoke it etc.?

Thanks,
