The Session bean cannot be deployed

[ignacio giagante]

Hi, I'm researching about EJB and I did a simple example, but when I try to call a method through an instance of a resource injected by using the @EJB annotation I got an null pointer exception. My conclusion is my beans is not being injected and that's way I cannot use the services offers by the contract interface bean.

I'm working on eclipse with JBoss 4.0.5 GA. I created an EJB project and then I added it to the JBoss Server. This is code...

package com.sessionBeans;
import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote()
public interface HelloWorldRemote {
	
	public String getHelloWorld();
}

package com.sessionBeans;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

/**
 * Session Bean implementation class HelloWorld
 */
@Stateless()
public class HelloWorld implements HelloWorldRemote {
	
	public String getHelloWorld(){
		return "hello world!";
	}
}

package com.sessionBeans;

import javax.ejb.EJB;

public class SessionBeanHello {

	@EJB private HelloWorld hello; // this bean is not being injected
	
	public String sayHello(){
		return "hiiiii " + hello.getHelloWorld();
	}
}

package com.sessionBeans;

public class Test {

	
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    	
    	SessionBeanHello sb = new SessionBeanHello();
   
    	System.out.println("JOJO");
    	System.out.println(sb.sayHello());
    }
} 

thanks for the help!

Just to check; have you tried using @Local instead of @Remote?
Just to be sure you are using the Remote annotation correctly
