When is the inteface variable in an EJB mains method initiated?

Question

hI,
the code bellow is part of a simple EE 6 example from Yuri Vasilievs book Beginning Database-Driven...
Can somone tell me when the variable customerSession bellow will be initiated in the CustomerSessionClient class bellow.
When I run theCustomerSessionClient (main methode) in my netbeans environment the customerSession is allways null?
Bellow first the inteface class and then the CustomerSessionClient class
package ejbjpa.client;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
* @author xxx
@Remote
public interface CustomerSession {
public String getCustomerAddress(Integer customer_no);
import ejbjpa.ejb.CustomerSession;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
* @author xxx
public class CustomerSessionClient {
@EJB
private static CustomerSession customerSession;
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Billing address of the customer whose id is: "+customerSession.getCustomerAddress(1));

Answer 1

Can somone tell me when the variable customerSession below will be initiated in the CustomerSessionClient class below.It will never be initialized.
When I run theCustomerSessionClient (main method) in my netbeans environment the customerSession is always null?I agree.
That's just a command-line client. It doesn't execute in an EJB container, so the @EJB annotation never takes effect.
