Spring @Autowired annotation in EJB

[Ananda_M]

Hi All,

I am using, EJB2.1, Spring 2.5.5, Weblogic server 10.0 and the IDE is Weblogic studio 10.2.

I have written a Stateless Session bean and trying to invoke that from a TestServlet class through JNDI. I am able to invoke the EJB method from servlet. It works fine.

The next step is to invoke the methods of other layer in EJB through Spring IoC (Dependency Injection). To achieve this, I am using @Autowired annotations. I am not able to get the bean instantiation into the local variable of EJB.

I am able to call the methods through the following piece of code (This doesnt use annotations).

BeanFactoryLocator locator = ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator
			.getInstance("beanRefContext.xml");

	BeanFactoryReference bfr = locator.useBeanFactory("businessBeanFactory");

	BeanFactory factory = bfr.getFactory();

	private IGeoCodeSearchEngine geoCodeSearchEngine = (IGeoCodeSearchEngine) factory
			.getBean("geoCodeSearchEngine");

I am getting the null pointer exception when i try to invoke the method as follows:

@Interceptors(TaxCalculatorAutowireInterceptor.class)
public class TaxCalculator extends GenericSessionBean implements SessionBean {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	 @Autowired
	 private IGeoCodeSearchEngine geoCodeSearchEngine;

         geoCodeSearchEngine.searchGeoCode();

I am not able to find where i am struck.
Please help me in this....

if you're using EJB2.1 you can't use the @Interceptors annotations, that's intended to be used with EJB3. Anyway you can define your interceptors on the ejb-jar.xml file, you can find multiple examples of this on the web.

Take a look to this link, it shows how to define the interceptor on the default .xml file, just don't use the @Interceptors annotation, is ok to use the @Autowired but not the @Interceptors:
