gxt + j2ee hosted mode

Question

Hi.

I'm trying to develop a jee+gxt application. I have an rpc call which calls a session bean's method. If I compile the project and run it in the browser, it works fine, but when I use hosted mode I get an exception like this: (edited for readability)

Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call

...

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.Pecc.server.services.AppServiceImpl. getUserEmailByName(AppServiceImpl.java:53)

Line 53 is:

return appSessionBeanBean.getUserEmailByName(name);

It's like the session bean can't be reached. Note that I have GWT4NB plugin and use it's "GWT hosted mode (w/o a JEE server)" command, but I have glassfish running and the ejb module deployed in it. Shouldn't it be enough to work? If I remember right, I was able to use my ejb module in hosted mode at some point.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Pecc

Answer 1

I hate to ask this, but are you able to debug and confirm the appSessionBeanBean is indeed not null? And if not, with log statements...

Answer 2

Hi. I found a workaround by redirecting the hosted mode browser to the module deployed in glassfish. I simply write localhost:8080/EasyTicket-web into the address bar instead of localhost:8888 (jetty's port.). Of course, glassfish has to be started for that to work.
