EJB3.0:JPA :java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Question

Im pretty new to this, so Im trying to post everything you need to understand my problem,try to be more clear, i'm in lack of ideas in this problem, even it sounds like a classic
/*Bean class*/
public class BookCatalogBean implements Serializable, BookCatalogInterface {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="EntityBean")
// @PersistenceContext
EntityManager em;
protected BookBank book;
protected Collection <BookBank> pmnList;
public void addBook(String title, String author, double price) {
// Initialize the form
if (book == null)
book = new BookBank(title, author, price);
em.persist(book);
public Collection <BookBank>getAllBooks() {
System.out.println("BookCatalogInterface.java:getAllBooks");
pmnList=em.createQuery("from BookBank book ").getResultList();
System.out.println("BookCatalogInterface.java:getAllBooks...111:"+pmnList);
return pmnList;
/*and this is another class BookBank.java */
package entity.library;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import java.util.Collection;
import javax.persistence.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
@Entity
@Table(name="BookBank")
public class BookBank implements Serializable {
long id;
/*variable declaration*/
public BookBank() {
super();
public BookBank(String title, String author, double price) {
super();
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
this.price = price;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
// Getter and setter methods for the defined properties..
and I am getting error :-
BookCatalogInterface.java:getAllBooks

I am not able to resolve the issue,getting error while calling getAllBooks method(createQuery line) of BookCatalogBean.java file.
Any help is much appreciated,Please suggest solution

Answer 1

Try using:
em.createQuery("select book from BookBank book").getResultList();instead of
em.createQuery("from BookBank book ").getResultList();The "from Entity e" only works for the Hibernate query language not the JPA query language.
Also in your persistence.xml, define only one data-source: a jta-data-source or a non-jta-data-source.
