title: Hibernate EntityManager findById: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException
body: <p>I am using Hibernate with the Dao´s and JBoss Wildfly</p>
  
  <p>Dao.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>public interface Dao&lt;T&gt; {
  
     public List&lt;T&gt; findAll();
  
     public T findById(final Class&lt;T&gt; clazz, final Long id);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AbstractDao.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>public abstract class AbstractDao&lt;T extends BaseEntity&gt; implements Dao&lt;T&gt; {
  
      @PersistenceContext
      private EntityManager em;
  
      @Override
      public T findById(final Class&lt;T&gt; clazz, final Long id) {
          return this.em.find(clazz, id);
      }
  
      protected EntityManager getEm() {
          return em;
      }
  
      protected void setEm(EntityManager em) {
          this.em = em;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>VeranstaltungDao.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Named(value = "veranstaltungDao")
  public class VeranstaltungDao extends AbstractDao&lt;Veranstaltung&gt; {
  
      @Override
      public List&lt;Veranstaltung&gt; findAll() {
          final TypedQuery&lt;Veranstaltung&gt; query = getEm().createQuery(
                  "Select a FROM" + Veranstaltung.class.getSimpleName() +" a",
                  Veranstaltung.class);
  
          return query.getResultList();
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now when I call in my manager the findById function I get the </p>
  
  <pre><code>javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>here is my call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class VeranstaltungBO {
  
      private Dao&lt;Veranstaltung&gt; veranstaltungDao;
  
      public Veranstaltung getVeranstaltungById(long id){
         // Line below is number 20
         return veranstaltungDao.findById(Veranstaltung.class, id);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>By starting the JBoss he creates database schema and use the import.sql and when I look in the database all is fine. The stacktrace of this error is saying nothing for me.</p>
