EJB3 XML injection configuration seems to work but get NullPointerException

[WolfEng]

I'm trying to get an EJB3 injected into a Spring managed bean, i'm simply using a

<jee:jndi-lookup>

, i also get the same result using,

<bean id = "usuario" class = "org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">

, i'll post the dispatcher-servlet.xml shortly.

I used the

value = "java:comp/env/+JNDIName

, the

<property name="resourceRef" value="true" />

, and the <jee:jndi-lookup resource-ref="true"> all three yielding NameNotFound JNDI exceptions, this was solved using just the JNDI name as is.

So everything seems to work, and the injection is supposed to be happening, and then when the application tries to use the injected been i get a NullPointerException, which makes me think... there nothing being injected.

Here I post the whole -servlet.xml code, and the NullPointerException, although it looks just as a plain old fashion NullPointerException to me.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: i'm using Jboss 4.2.2

Is the 'DelMailAutenticacion' in your LoginCommand the same as the one defined in your applicationContext or are you creating a new one?!

[WolfEng]

Jeebus, you've got a sharp eye, intuition... or sumthing, tho i'm ashamed of it , i'm also very thankfull for your wise words, you were right that was all what was missing. Since the application was previously pure EJB3, the DelMailAutenticacion object was still being initialized thru a faces context lookup. hehehe. Ohh well i really thank you for the early response.

Have a great day man!!

Cheers!
