如何使用@Resource 注解在 Java 文件中注入数据源？ 虽然在 Servlet 中工作正常

Question

I am trying to inject a datasource in a Java file using @Resource annotation and it gives me a NullPointerException. The thing that is puzzling me is that when I put this @Resource in a Servlet it works fine and I get the data from the DB. As part of refactoring effort I am just trying to move this @Resource annotation calling from my Servlet Controller to a service class and it gives me NPE.

ProductPageController.java

@WebServlet(name = "ProductPageController", urlPatterns = {"/" + AppConstants.PRODUCT_PAGE_CONTROLLER})
public class ProductPageController extends HttpServlet {

    private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(ProductPageController.class);

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        LOG.debug("Into the ProductPageController...");

        //fetch the product from the db based on productId parameter
        String productId = GenericUtils.getParameter(request, "productId");
        request.setAttribute("product", new ProductService().getProduct(new Integer(productId)));

        //show the page now
        showPage(request, response, PRODUCT_PAGE_URL);
    }

    private void showPage(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String viewName) throws ServletException, IOException {
        LOG.debug("Displaying " + viewName + " page now...");
        request.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(viewName).forward(request, response);
    }
}

ProductService.java

public class ProductService {

    private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(ProductService.class);

    @Resource(name = "jdbc/istore-db")
    private DataSource dataSource;

    public Product getProduct(int productId) {
        Product product = null;
        try {
            product = new MasterDao(dataSource).getProduct(productId);
        } catch (SQLException sqle) {
            LOG.error("Exception while fetching product based on productId: " + productId);
            LOG.error(sqle);
        }
        LOG.debug("product = " + product);
        return product;
    }
}

Error Log:

Answer 1

If you are instantiating the class by yourself with new ProductService() then no dependency injection will happen.

you will have to inject ProductService in your servlet.

@Inject
private ProductService productService

Answer 2

You can bypass the problem of resource injection not working with @Resource annotation by using directly the JNDI API

try {
   Context initialCtxt = new InitialContext();
   dataSource = (DataSource) initialCtxt.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/istore-db");
} catch (NamingException ex) {
   LOG.error("Exception while fetching the data source: jdbc/istore-db");
   LOG.error(ex);
}

and you can place this code in your ProductService constructor
