EJB 3.0 Why Dependency Injection doesn't work?

Question

Hello Every body,
i have a serious problem with dependency injection with EJB 3.0. I have tried so many time to get the simple sun delivered samples ejb-Applications working in NetBeans IDE, but they don't. After importing in building the projects in NetBeans, i get a NullPointerException while trying to run them. Is there any body who have experience with this? What am i making wrong?
I searched for an answer since several days in google without any success. I have not found a single satisfactory explanation. I can't explain why even the examples in the java ee tutorials don't work.
Please, can somebody help? I would very greatful.
Cheers

Here is an example of application (that don't work because the injection failed):
* This is the business interface for Confirmer enterprise bean.
@Remote
public interface Confirmer {
void sendNotice(String recipient);
@Stateless
public class ConfirmerBean implements Confirmer {
private static final String mailer = "JavaMailer";
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(
"confirmer.ejb.ConfirmerBean");
@Resource(name = "mail/myMailSession")
private Session session;
/** Creates a new instance of ConfirmerBean */
public ConfirmerBean() {
public void sendNotice(String recipient) {
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom();
message.setRecipients(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(recipient, false));
message.setSubject("Test Message from ConfirmerBean");
DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
DateFormat.LONG,
DateFormat.SHORT);
Date timeStamp = new Date();
String messageText = "Thank you for your order." + '\n'
+ "We received your order on "
+ dateFormatter.format(timeStamp) + ".";
message.setText(messageText);
message.setHeader("X-Mailer", mailer);
message.setSentDate(timeStamp);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
logger.info("Mail sent to " + recipient + ".");
} catch (MessagingException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
logger.info("Error in ConfirmerBean for " + recipient);
* @author ie139813
public class ConfirmerClient {
@EJB
private static Confirmer confirmer;
/** Creates a new instance of ConfirmerClient */
public ConfirmerClient() {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
String recipient = null;
if (args.length == 1) {
recipient = args[0];
} else {
recipient = "[email protected]";
try {
confirmer.sendNotice(recipient);
System.out.println("Message sent to " + recipient + ".");
System.exit(0);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

Try rebooting your computer. I had something similar. I rebooted my computer and it finished the update. Good luck!
