java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to retrieve EntityManagerFactory for unitName DemoJPA

[ramakrishna kulkarni]

Hi All

I am getting this error when I try to use entity from servlet

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to retrieve EntityManagerFactory for unitName DemoJPA


what is the root cause for this error


here is my servlet code

package example.client;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import example.entities.Manufacturer;

/**
* Servlet implementation class TestJPA
*/
public class TestJPA extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

/**
* @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
*/
public TestJPA() {
super();
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@PersistenceContext (unitName="DemoJPA")
EntityManager em;

Manufacturer man;

protected void populateManufacturer(){
man = new Manufacturer();
man.setAddressline1("address1");
man.setAddressline2("address2");
man.setCity("bangalore");
man.setEmail("[e-mail]");
man.setFax("1234");
man.setName("Ram");
man.setPhone("567");
man.setRep("RK");
man.setState("Karnatka");
man.setZip("001");
}
/**
* @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

/**
* @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
populateManufacturer();
em.persist(man);

}

}


And persitence.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="DemoJPA">
<class>example.entities.Manufacturer</class>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>



Any help is really appretiated

Thanks

which container are you using?

is the datasource properly set?

Using glassfish3, maven and NetBeans I experienced this problem too. Finally it was solved by declaring stateless bean with @Startup annotation.My project is from chapter 10, "Beginning JavaEE6 with GlassFish3+" by Antonio Goncalves.
@Stateless
@Startup
@LocalBean

//insted of public class BookEJB implements BookEJBRemote{
//it is needed to set now
public class BookEJB {
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "com.testingPU")
EntityManager em;

public BookEJB(){}
//methods
}

@Startup is only for Singleton.

I got a similar issue with Embedded Glassfish server,

Apr 19, 2016 5:11:28 PM org.glassfish.admin.mbeanserver.JMXStartupService shutdown
INFO: JMXStartupService and JMXConnectors have been shut down.

INFO: Shutdown procedure finished
Apr 19, 2016 5:11:28 PM AppServerStartup run
INFO: [Thread[GlassFish Kernel Main Thread,5,main]] exiting
Closing the container

TO RESOLVE IT I DID THE FOLLOWING

1) In the pom.xml add the following dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
<version>3.2-b06</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
</dependency>

2) Set up the HashMap properties for the embedded container
File target = prepareModuleDirectory();
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put(EJBContainer.MODULES, target);

properties.put("org.glassfish.ejb.embedded.glassfish.installation.root", "./src/test/glassfish/");
properties.put("org.glassfish.ejb.embedded.glassfish.configuration.file", "./src/test/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml");
container = javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);

3)
private static final String MODULE_NAME = "embedded";
private static final String TARGET_DIR = "target/" + MODULE_NAME;


private static File prepareModuleDirectory() throws IOException {
File result = new File(TARGET_DIR);
FileUtils.copyDirectory(new File("target/classes"), result);
FileUtils.copyFile(new File("target/test-classes/META-INF/persistence.xml"),
new File(TARGET_DIR + "/META-INF/persistence.xml"));
return result;
}

4) create the foolder structure under src\test\glassfish\domains\domain1\config and copy the glassfish domain.xml which is present under <glassfish server install> glassfish\domains\domain1\config to src\test\glassfish\domains\domain1\config.

I followed the above steps to resolve the issue.
