Answer 1

Are you getting an error?

If you are using JTA I will suggest you use a DataSource as a provider of your connections.

Such as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="CollDocPU" transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl</provider>
<jta-data-source>datasource</jta-data-source> 
<class>model.entity.StudentAddSolution</class>
<class>model.entity.Lecturer</class>
<class>model.entity.Solution</class>
<class>model.entity.Student</class>
<class>model.entity.Course</class>
<class>model.entity.File</class>
<class>model.entity.CourseHasLecturer</class>
<class>model.entity.Mail</class>
<class>model.entity.StudentAtCourse</class>
<class>model.entity.Roles</class>
<class>model.entity.Task</class>
<class>model.entity.User</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
</persistence-unit>

</persistence>

BTW, you need to close all yours tags

My friend, Maybe that is another error, try this, after doing what I told you, just print the EntityManager by System.out.println(em.toString()); If you are getting something, It is because It is OK, the nullpointer that you are getting in the other method could be by the program logic
