Injecting a bean returns null [duplicate] - jsf

Question

This question already has answers here:
Accessing injected dependency in managed bean constructor causes NullPointerException
(1 answer)
#Inject field is always null [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have two webpages with a bean backing each as well as multiple DAOs running on a Glassfish 4.0 server. The first page is a loginpage - everything works fine here and I can access the injected objects.
On the second page however, every time I try to access one of the injected objects I get a nullpointer-exception.
This is my (working) loginpage:
#ViewScoped
#Named
public class indexController implements Serializable {
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(indexController.class.getName());
private String passwort, growlMsg;
#Inject
Manager manager;
#Inject
PersonalDAO personalDAO;
public indexController() {
}
public String login() {
System.out.println("------------------LOGIN-----------------------\n"
+ "Werk: " + getWerk() + "\n"
+ "Mandant: " + getMandant() + "\n"
+ "Personalnr:" + getPersnr() + "\n"
+ "Passwort: " + passwort + "\n"
+ "----------------------------------------------");
if (isValidUser()) {
manager.setUserVerified(true);
return "main";
} else {
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ctx.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Login failed.", "Please verify your login credentials."));
return "index";
}
}
//TODO: Implement hashing and salting
private boolean isValidUser() {
List<Personal> pers = personalDAO.find(getPersnr());
if (pers.isEmpty()) {
return false;
}
Personal personal = pers.get(0);
if (personal.getWerk().getId() != getWerk()) {
return false;
}
if (personal.getMandant().getId() != getMandant()) {
return false;
}
if (!personal.getPasswort().equals(passwort)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
private boolean isInteger(String n) {
try {
Integer.parseInt(n);
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public int getMandant() {
return manager.getMandant();
}
public void setMandant(int mandant) {
manager.setMandant(mandant);
}
public int getWerk() {
return manager.getWerk();
}
public void setWerk(int werk) {
manager.setWerk(werk);
}
public int getPersnr() {
return manager.getPersnr();
}
public void setPersnr(int persnr) {
manager.setPersnr(persnr);
}
public String getPasswort() {
return passwort;
}
public void setPasswort(String passwort) {
this.passwort = passwort;
}
public String getGrowlMsg() {
return growlMsg;
}
public void setGrowlMsg(String growlMsg) {
this.growlMsg = growlMsg;
}
}
This is the bean I am having issues with:
#RequestScoped
#Named
public class mainController implements Serializable {
private List<Abwesenheit> abwesenheit;
private List<Personal> personal;
#Inject
Manager manager;
#Inject
PersonalDAO personalDAO;
#Inject
AbwesenheitDAO abwesenheitDAO;
public mainController() {
System.out.println("-----MAINCONTROLLER CALLED-----");
System.out.println(manager.isUserVerified());
System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
}
public List<Abwesenheit> getAbwesenheit() {
return abwesenheit;
}
public void setAbwesenheit(List<Abwesenheit> abwesenheit) {
this.abwesenheit = abwesenheit;
}
public List<Personal> getPersonal() {
return personal;
}
public String getVerified() {
return manager.isUserVerified()?"Verified":"Not Verified";
}
}
Manager class:
#SessionScoped
public class Manager implements Serializable {
//TODO: Use an enum for access-levels instead of just access/no access
private boolean userVerified = false;
int werk, mandant, persnr;
public Manager() {
}
public boolean isUserVerified() {
return userVerified;
}
public void setUserVerified(boolean userVerified) {
this.userVerified = userVerified;
}
public int getWerk() {
return werk;
}
public void setWerk(int werk) {
this.werk = werk;
}
public int getMandant() {
return mandant;
}
public void setMandant(int mandant) {
this.mandant = mandant;
}
public int getPersnr() {
return persnr;
}
public void setPersnr(int persnr) {
this.persnr = persnr;
}
}
personalDAO class:
#Stateless
public class PersonalDAO implements Serializable {
#PersistenceContext(unitName="GFOS_AwardPU")
private EntityManager entityManager;
public List<Personal> getPersonal() {
return entityManager.createNamedQuery("Personal.findAll", Personal.class).getResultList();
}
public List<Personal> find(String personalNr) {
Query query = entityManager.createNamedQuery("Personal.findByPersonalnr");
query.setParameter("personalnr", personalNr);
return query.getResultList();
}
public List<Personal> find(int personalNr) {
Query query = entityManager.createNamedQuery("Personal.findByPersonalnr");
query.setParameter("personalnr", personalNr);
return query.getResultList();
}
public List<Personal> find(String personalNr, String name, String vorname, String mandant, String werk) {
String query = "SELECT * FROM Personal WHERE 1=1";
if(personalNr != null && !personalNr.isEmpty()) {
query += " AND Personalnr="+personalNr;
}
if(name != null && !name.isEmpty()) {
query += " AND name='"+name+"'";
}
if(vorname != null && !vorname.isEmpty()) {
query += " AND vorname='"+vorname+"'";
}
if(mandant != null && !mandant.isEmpty()) {
query += " AND mandant="+mandant;
}
if(werk != null && !werk.isEmpty()) {
query += " AND werk="+werk;
}
return entityManager.createNativeQuery(query, Personal.class).getResultList();
}
}
This is the Glassfish server log extract, there are no exceptions prior:

Why doesn't it work in the mainController class? I've tried changing the scopes of both classes but that did not help. Netbeans does not show any errors. I have also tried starting Glassfish trough both Netbeans or manual. The last thing I tried is changing the imports from
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped
(and the SessionScoped of the manager-class) to
import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped
yet none of it fixed my problem.

Answer 1

Instead of constructor
public mainController() {
System.out.println("-----MAINCONTROLLER CALLED-----");
System.out.println(manager.isUserVerified());
System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
}
use method with annotation #PostConstruct.
#PostConstruct
private void init() {
System.out.println("-----MAINCONTROLLER INITIALIZED-----");
System.out.println(manager.isUserVerified());
System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
}
Dependencies are not yet injected in constructor, they can be accessed after object is created.
