configuring Hibernate, stripersist on eclipse

Question

I have tried to use stripersist with mysql but was not successful.

I have copied sample code of stripes book , email23 , to eclipse and added res folder as source folder.

When I try to run the application I get the following error

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet DispatcherServlet threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException

I have checked this thread, Help configuring Hibernate,Jpa, Stripesist on Stripes , but still have the problem

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Your code is failing on the getEntityManager() that returns null:

45: public T read(ID id) {
46:    return Stripersist.getEntityManager().find(entityClass, id);
47: }

This means that you don't have Hibernate/JPA configured correctly for your web application.

You might find this documentation helpful (although you can follow any Hibernate/JPA configuration guide, as the configuration is not Stripersist or Stripes specific): http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Hibernate+configuration
