I'm trying to create an extended PersistenceContext by having the container inject the EntityManager into a Stateful EJB. With JBoss 4.3.0.GA_06 and Hibernate 4.3.9.Final, the EntityManager is not injected despite annotating the EJB field with @PersistenceContext.

EJB:

package com.foo.bar.example;

import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.LocalBinding;

import javax.ejb.Stateful;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType;
import javax.persistence.SynchronizationType;

@Stateful
@LocalBinding(jndiBinding = "MyEJB/EntityManagerBean")
public class EntityManagerHolderBean implements EntityManagerHolderLocal {
    @PersistenceContext(type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED, synchronization = SynchronizationType.UNSYNCHRONIZED)
    protected EntityManager em;

    @Override
    public EntityManager getEntityManager() {
        return em;
    }
}

EJB interface:

package com.foo.bar.example;

import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.Local;    
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;

@Local
public interface EntityManagerHolderLocal {    
    EntityManager getEntityManager();
}

Persistence.xml:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
             version="2.0">
  <persistence-unit name="examplePersistenceUnit">
    <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
    <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
    <properties>
      <!-- Scan for annotated classes and Hibernate mapping XML files from this JAR -->
      <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class, hbm" />
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Deploying the EAR containing the EJB causes JBoss to log the following stacktrace to server.log; I presume that this explains why the injection does not work:

Can JBoss 4.3.0.GA_06 be set up to inject the EntityManager, or is the only alternative to switch to a more recent JBoss version? Further details regarding the EAR structure are in a Maven-based failing demonstrator project at GitHub.

Edit

Attempting to replace the JBoss Hibernate implementation with Hibernate 4.3.9.Final does not seem to work, at least out of the box. If I

  1. Remove Hibernate-related JARs (hibernate3.jar, hibernate-annotations.jar, hibernate-commons-annotations.jar, hibernate-entitymanager.jar, hibernate-validator.jar) from the server lib directory (e.g. default/lib)
  2. Copy the EAR JARs into the sever lib directory
  3. Start JBoss

Then deployment still fails, but with a different error:

This seems to be an incompatibility between the org.jboss.logging.Logger implementation hibernate-core depends on and the org.jboss.logging.Logger class in the shared libs of my JBoss installation; my jboss-eap-4.3.0\jboss-as\lib directory contains a jboss-common.jar, which holds an org.jboss.logging.Logger without a getMessageLogger method.

After the implementation change, contents of my JBoss lib directories are as follows:

  • Probably multiple javax.persistence jars in the classpath which are conflicting. – mh-dev May 08 '15 at 12:56
  • @mh-dev, that is true. There is an ejb3-persistence.jar in the lib directory of the server. That JAR contains javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider. However, removing ejb3-persistence.jar from the lib directory just causes a different exception, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/spi/PersistenceUnitTransactionType. Since JBoss 4.3 uses an old Hibernate, I'm using jboss-app.xml to tell JBoss to favor the EAR JARs (see the Github project). For some reason, the classloading is not working as I would expect it to. – Lauri Harpf May 08 '15 at 13:03
  • You can replace the implementation. – mh-dev May 08 '15 at 13:12
  • @mh-dev, if you can provide instructions on how to do that (and it resolves the problem), please write an answer and I'll be happy to accept it. Just removing ejb3-persistence.jar from the lib directory and dropping in the new Hibernate jars does not resolve the problem. – Lauri Harpf May 11 '15 at 10:10
  • Please try the following. In the lib folder are probably these three dependencies: hibernate3.jar, hibernate-annotations.jar, hibernate-entitymanager.jar. Replace these with your current version and test if it works. It might be necessary to add additional dependencies of hibernate. If it works tell me than I make an anwer for the rest of the world. – mh-dev May 11 '15 at 10:29
  • @mh-dev: Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it (see the updated answer), but unfortunately without success. Since the JBoss version is old, I'm considering spending time on upgrading it instead of researching this further. In any case, your efforts are appreciated! – Lauri Harpf May 19 '15 at 05:58
