I'm trying to implement a JAX-WS web service which has an endpoint that returns data from the configured data source. I managed to create the service and the client, but I can't access the database because I get Null Pointer Exceptions when I try to use the injected EntityManager. Here is my service:
@WebService(serviceName="ViewDocuments")
public class ViewDocumentService {
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "HibernateJPA")
private EntityManager em;
@WebMethod
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello world!";
}
@Produces("application/json")
@WebMethod(operationName="getDocuments")
public List<File> getDocuments(@WebParam(name = "name") String filename) {
if(filename == null)
return em.createQuery("FROM File").getResultList();
else return null;
}
}
And here is my WebServiceClient:
@WebServiceClient(name="ViewDocuments", wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:8080/lab8/ViewDocuments?wsdl")
public class ViewDocumentClient extends Service {
protected ViewDocumentClient(URL wsdlDocumentLocation, QName serviceName) {
super(wsdlDocumentLocation, serviceName);
}
@WebEndpoint(name = "DocumentPort")
public ViewDocumentService getDocumentPort() {
return new ViewDocumentService();
}
}
I am trying to call the function here:
public class MainDocumentClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL wsdlUrl = new URL("http://localhost:8080/lab8/ViewDocuments?wsdl");
QName serviceName = new QName("http://webservices/", "ViewDocuments");
ViewDocumentClient service = new ViewDocumentClient(wsdlUrl, serviceName);
ViewDocumentService viewDocumentService = service.getDocumentPort();
System.out.println(viewDocumentService.sayHello());
System.out.println(viewDocumentService.getDocuments(null));
}
}
This is my persistence.xml file content:

The sayHello() method works fine. I also tried to use an EntityManagerFactory, to instantiate my Repository by hand, to add the @Stateless annotation, but nothing seems to work. I just can't query my database.
After lots of research, I still can't seem to understand how to properly inject the EntityManager. Can someone explain this to me, please?
I am using Wildfly21.0.0.
