I'm try to use the Sun Java PetStore Demo.
In the CatalogFacade class there is the following annotation:
@PersistenceUnit(unitName="myPetStorePU")
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
In all the methods of the CatalogFacade Sun has:
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
But I am getting a null pointer exception for emf when trying to createEntityManager. But... if I add the following line above that line as such
EntityManagerFactory emf = javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("myPetStorePU");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
then emf gets successfully created and the persistence unit myPetStorePU also successfully connects to the database. So it looks like persistence.xml syntax and its location is correct. I'd like to understand why the annotation doesn't work since I think there was a reason for just using the annotation as opposed to adding the createEntityManagerFactory line in every method.
My src/META-INF/persistence.xml file looks like this:
<persistence-unit name="myPetStorePU">
<description>Petstore Persistence Unit</description>
<provider>oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider</provider>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.Tag</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.SellerContactInfo</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.Product</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.Item</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.Category</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.Address</class>
<class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.ZipLocation</class>
<properties>
<property name="toplink.jdbc.driver" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
<property name="toplink.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@#############"/>
<property name="toplink.jdbc.user" value="####"/>
<property name="toplink.jdbc.password" value="#####"/>
<property name="toplink.logging.level" value="INFO"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
Edit:
CatalogFacade is in the petstore.model package and implements the ServletContextListener
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.javaee.blueprints.petstore.model.CatalogFacade</listener-class>
</listener>
in the index.jsp Sun has the following:
<%
CatalogFacade cf = (CatalogFacade)config.getServletContext().getAttribute("CatalogFacade");
List<Tag> tags=cf.getTagsInChunk(0, 12);
%>
public List<Tag> getTagsInChunk(int start, int chunkSize) {
//The next line is required since the @PersistenceUnit annotation at the top of this class does not work
EntityManagerFactory emf = javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("myPetStorePU");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
System.out.println("Entity manager " + emf);
Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT t FROM Tag t ORDER BY t.refCount DESC, t.tag");
List<Tag> tags = query.setFirstResult(start).setMaxResults(chunkSize).getResultList();
em.close();
return tags;
}
