I'm trying to inject a Stateless EJB into my JAX-RS webservice via Annotation @EJB. Unfortunately the EJB being injected is null and throws a NullPointerException when it is being called, see the class "RegistrationRest":

@Path("/database")
@Stateless
public class RegistrationRest {
    @EJB
    private DbDao dbDao;

    @Path("getInfo/{name}")
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getInfoByName(@PathParam("name") String name {
        TreeSet <String> ts = new TreeSet<String>();
        JsonGenerator json = new JsonGenerator().writeStartArray();

        // Lesen Info aus Datenbank
        for(Persons person : dbDao.findInfoByName(name) {
            ts.add(person.getName());
        }
        // Schreiben der gefundenen Staedte in ein JSON
        for(String name : ts) {
            json.write(name);
        }
        // Rueckgabe der Daten als JSON 
        return json.writeEnd().toString();
    }
}

My Webservice is registered as part and via javax.ws.rs.core.Application, see code of "RestConfiguration":

package net.service.rest;
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;
// other imports

@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class RestConfiguration extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        return new HashSet<Class<?>>(Arrays.asList(RegistrationRest.class));
    }
}

As the injected EJB implements an interface that could be the fact that prevents the EJB being injected into the webservice/resource, as I understood reading this article: http://netbeans.dzone.com/articles/how-to-combine-rest-and-ejb-31

As the EJB with the name "DbDao" is a DAO which implements an interface I would like to keep:

@Stateless(name = "DbDao")
@Local
public class DbDaoImpl implements DbDao {
    private final String ENTITY_MANAGER = "mouPU";

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = ENTITY_MANAGER)
    protected EntityManager em;

    @Override
    public List<Address> findInfoByName(final String name) {
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<Person> persons = em.createNamedQuery("findInfoByName").setParameter("name", name)).getResultList();
        return persons;
    }
}

In the above article it is stated that is not possible to inject an EJB which implements an interface.I cannot imagine that is so or I suppose I overlooked something.

Here is the stacktrace:

Have you tried with '@LocalBean' instead of '@Local' ?Olivier Masseau
Do you have any stacktrace? Please, show us.cassiomolin
I edited my question to show the stacktrace, I think the main reason of the error is the exception: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnhandledException: java.lang.NullPointerException. org.jboss.resteasy.core.ResourceMethod.invoke(ResourceMethod.java:222) [resteasy-jaxrs-2.3.2.Final.jar:Pille
@OlivierM. : LocalBean does not work either, I get the same errors.Pille

Try this:

@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class RestConfiguration extends Application {

    private Set<Class<?>> resources = new HashSet<Class<?>>();

    public RestConfiguration () {
        resources.add(RegistrationRest.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        return resources;
    }

}

Make sure your web.xml has this:

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap</listener-class>
</listener>

Finally, make sure you have beans.xml in your WEB-INF folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
      http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
      http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
</beans>
