NullPointerException is occurring with createNamedQuery and then persistence unit logins successfully - jpa

Question

I can't seem to solve this issue. I have tried googling but can't put the pieces together to solve it. I have the following stack trace:

So if you look at the last two lines my persistent unit isn't logging in until I try to use the entity manager. If I do another query after the first one, everything is good, no errors, nothing......Error occurs on the createNamedQuery. The query exists and matches the exact name. I can call the same method twice and the first one causes a NPE but the second one works fine.
#Stateless(name="CategoryFacade")
public class CategoryFacade extends AbstractFacade<Category> {
#PersistenceContext(unitName = "AffableBeanPU")
private EntityManager em;
#Override
protected EntityManager getEntityManager() {
return em;
}
public CategoryFacade() {
super(Category.class);
}
public List<Category> findRandom(int limit) {
return getEntityManager()
.createNamedQuery("Category.findRandomByLimit")
.setParameter(1, limit)
.getResultList();
}
}
I am doing a jndi lookup for the class
public class ActionFacade implements AutoCloseable {
private static ThreadLocal<ActionFacade> instance = new ThreadLocal<>();
private HttpServletRequest request;
private HttpSession session;
private CategoryFacade categoryFacade;
private BookFacade bookFacade;
private OrderManager orderManager;
private ShoppingCart cart;
public ActionFacade(HttpServletRequest request) {
this.request = request;
this.session = request.getSession();
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
this.categoryFacade = (CategoryFacade) ctx.lookup(
"java:global/ReadersParadise/CategoryFacade!session.CategoryFacade");
System.out.print("JNDI lookup complete.");
this.bookFacade = (BookFacade) ctx.lookup(
"java:global/ReadersParadise/BookFacade!session.BookFacade");
this.orderManager = (OrderManager) ctx.lookup(
"java:global/ReadersParadise/OrderManager!session.OrderManager");
} catch (NamingException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
}
public static ActionFacade create(HttpServletRequest request) {
ActionFacade facade = new ActionFacade(request);
instance.set(facade);
return facade;
}
public static ActionFacade getCurrentInstance() {
return instance.get();
}
#Override
public void close() {
instance.remove();
}
public void setSelectedCategory() {
String categoryName = request.getParameter("category");
Category selectedCategory = categoryFacade.findByName(categoryName);
if (selectedCategory == null) {
selectedCategory = categoryFacade.find(1);
}
session.setAttribute("selectedCategory", selectedCategory);
Collection<Book> categoryBooks = selectedCategory.getBookCollection();
session.setAttribute("categoryBooks", categoryBooks);
}
public void setAllCategories() {
request.setAttribute("categories", categoryFacade.findAll());
}
}
Then in my servlet I am using the ActionFacade like this....
try(ActionFacade facade = ActionFacade.create(request)) {
Action action = ActionFactory.getAction(request);
String view = action.execute(facade);
System.out.println(request.getServletPath());
if (request.getServletPath().equals("") || view.equals(request.getServletPath().substring(1))) {
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/views/" + view + ".jsp").forward(request, response);
} else {
response.sendRedirect(view);
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ServletException("Executing action failed.", e);
}
This is the category entity
#Entity
#Table(name = "category")
#XmlRootElement
#NamedQueries({
#NamedQuery(name = "Category.findAll", query = "SELECT c FROM Category c"),
#NamedQuery(name = "Category.findById", query = "SELECT c FROM Category c WHERE c.id = :id"),
#NamedQuery(name = "Category.findByName", query = "SELECT c FROM Category c WHERE c.name= :name")
})
#NamedNativeQuery(name = "Category.findRandomByLimit",
query = "SELECT * FROM Category ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT ?1")
public class Category implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Basic(optional = false)
#Column(name = "id")
private Integer id;
#Basic(optional = false)
#NotNull
#Size(min = 1, max = 45)
#Column(name = "name")
private String name;
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "category")
private Collection<Book> bookCollection;
public Category() {
}
public Category(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public Category(Integer id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
#XmlTransient
public Collection<Book> getBookCollection() {
return bookCollection;
}
public void setBookCollection(Collection<Book> bookCollection) {
this.bookCollection = bookCollection;
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
int hash = 0;
hash += (id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0);
return hash;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object object) {
// TODO: Warning - this method won't work in the case the id fields are not set
if (!(object instanceof Category)) {
return false;
}
Category other = (Category) object;
if ((this.id == null && other.id != null) || (this.id != null && !this.id.equals(other.id))) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "entity.Category[ id=" + id + " ]";
}
}
Category Action Class which uses the ActionFacade
public class CategoryAction implements Action {
#Override
public String execute(ActionFacade facade) throws Exception {
facade.setSelectedCategory();
facade.setAllCategories();
return "category";
}
}

Answer 1

I think it is a problem of Glassfish 4.1.1 described here:
https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-21468
According this, it may help, if you add
<property name="eclipselink.target-server" value="Glassfish"/>
to your persistence.xml
