Hibernate integration with struts2 - session is null

I'm following this Struts2 tutorial to integrate the Struts2 project it proposes with hibernate:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/struts_2/struts_hibernate.htm
I followed the instructions step by step, the only thing I changed was the libraries, since i'm using more updated libraries.
When I try to execute my action, I'm getting a NullPointerException in my DAO class. For some reason my Session object is always null.
Here is my bean class:
package com.fabioSarmiento.hibernate;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Entity
#Table(name="student")
public class Student {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int id;
#Column(name="last_name")
private String lastName;
#Column(name="first_name")
private String firstName;
private int marks;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public int getMarks() {
return marks;
}
public void setMarks(int marks) {
this.marks = marks;
}
}
Here is my DAO:
package com.fabioSarmiento.hibernate;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import com.googlecode.s2hibernate.struts2.plugin.annotations.SessionTarget;
import com.googlecode.s2hibernate.struts2.plugin.annotations.TransactionTarget;
public class StudentDAO {
#SessionTarget
Session session;
#TransactionTarget
Transaction transaction;
#SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "deprecation" })
public List<Student> getStudents() {
List<Student> students = new ArrayList<Student>();
try {
students = session.createQuery("from student").list();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return students;
}
public void addStudent(Student student) {
session.save(student);
}
}
My hibernate config file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC

Is this a good tutorial on how to make the integration?
I've been researching and there's a lot of differences in the implementations i've found. But this tutorial was very useful to learn the struts part and I didn't have any issues, and now I can't finish this lesson.
How could I resolve this issue?
Thank you for your help and patience, i'm new to hibernate and i'm trying to learn on my own.

When using createQuery, I believe the Model object class is case sensitive.
Try to change line 21 to with upper case Student:
students = session.createQuery("from Student").list();

Ok it works now!
I used the libraries that #shokulei provided (Link in his answer). After that I had to change my web.xml to use org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher as a filter class. Finally, I had to disable a parameter in MySQL to get SSL connection optional.
Thank you all for your help!!

NullPointerException in simple fileupload form using Spring MVC

I am trying to implement simple fileupload using Spring 4.2.3 and HTML form.
I have controller class which handles whole action, simple wrapper class for file, validator and simple view with form in HTML & Thymeleaf.
Almost everything is running fine, mapping works properly and view is appearing. But when I select file from disk and press upload button I have NullPointerException. Can anyone have a look and give some tips please? I have to mention that I am novice in Spring.
Controller:
#Controller
public class FileUploadController {
private static String UPLOAD_LOCATION = "C:/Temp/";
#Autowired
FileValidator fileValidator;
#InitBinder("file")
protected void initBinderFileBucket(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.setValidator(fileValidator);
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getSingleUploadPage(ModelMap model) {
FileBucket fileModel = new FileBucket();
model.addAttribute("fileBucket", fileModel);
return "views/fileUploader";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String singleFileUpload(#Valid FileBucket file, BindingResult result, ModelMap model)
throws IOException {
if (result.hasErrors()) {
System.out.println("File Uploader validation error");
return "views/fileUploader";
} else {
System.out.println("Fetching file"); //prints out in console
MultipartFile multipartFile = file.getFile();
System.out.println(multipartFile.getName()); //NullPointer here
return "views/success";
}
}
}
File wrapper:
public class FileBucket {
private MultipartFile file;
//getters & setters + soon other stuff
}
Validator:
#Component
public class FileValidator implements Validator {
public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) {
return FileBucket.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz);
}
public void validate(Object obj, Errors errors) {
FileBucket file = (FileBucket) obj;
if(file.getFile()!=null){
if (file.getFile().getSize() == 0) {
errors.rejectValue("file", "missingfile");
}
}
}
}

Okay I found out what's causing the problem.
After correcting name in #InitBinder to match argument in controller it was necessary to rename bean responsible for multipart resolving.
From:
#Bean public CommonsMultipartResolver commonsMultipartResolver() {
return new CommonsMultipartResolver();
}
To:
#Bean public CommonsMultipartResolver multipartResolver() {
return new CommonsMultipartResolver();
}
Otherwise it doesn't work.

Your exception shows a NullPointerException on line 47 of BetController. However there is nothing at this line in the class you posted. My guess is that your UserService is not injected in your controller. Add the #Autowired annotation:
#Controller
public class BetController {
#Autowired
UserService service;

I think you miss autowire Userservice object in to controller layer
Please add #autowire top of Userservice object It will sovles your problem.
#Autowire
UserService service;
If its give any problem just google how to autowire service object,
Also you have done one mistake while creating service object you need to create Userservice as Interface and one concert implementation of Userservice like UserServiceImpl
Thanks,
Himanshu

Put #Service annotation on UserService class,and #Autowired on the below line in BetController class.
#Autowired
UserService service;
And i see you setted component scanning to controller package only,how ever you need to set it to below.
<context:component-scan base-package="org.proffart.bet.*"/>

The naive solution for non-JSF developers would be to simply initialize the variables inside the getter to resolve the null value in the attributes. This is:
public List getListeAnnees() {
listeAnnees = getAnneeMetier().getAllAnnees();
return listeAnnees;
}
public AnneeMetier getAnneeMetier() {
if (anneeMetier == null) {
anneeMetier = new AnneeMetierImpl();
}
return anneeMetier;
}
But this may generate lot of overhead from server in case AnneeMetier#getAllAnnees() retrieves the data from database. This is explained here: Why JSF calls getters multiple times
To solve this, you do two things:
Define the right scope of your bean.
Initialize the necessary data for work using #PostConstruct annotated method.
And this would result in:
Defining the scope as #ViewScoped (explained in the link above).
Initializing listeAnnees in #PostConstruct method.
Remove any business logic from getters/setters
So the code would look like this:
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class AnneeBean {
private AnneeMetier anneeMetier;
private List<Annee> listeAnnees;
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
anneeMetier = new AnneeMetierImpl();
listeAnnees = anneeMetier.getAllAnnees();
}
public List getListeAnnees() {
return listeAnnees;
}
public void setListeAnnees(List listeAnnees) {
this.listeAnnees = listeAnnees;
}
public AnneeMetier getAnneeMetier() {
return anneeMetier;
}
public void setAnneeMetier(AnneeMetier anneeMetier) {
this.anneeMetier = anneeMetier;
}
}
BUT since you're trying to integrate JSF with Spring, you have to take into account that Spring has not yet full support of JSF 2 #ViewScoped annotation. For this case, you have/need to implement it yourself. There are plenty examples on the net about this, and looks that the most popular is from Cagatay's. In this way, you'll be able to gain power from both sides. And your bean will look like this:
#Component
#Scope("view")
public class AnneeBean {
#Autowired
private AnneeMetier anneeMetier;
private List<Annee> listeAnnees;
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
listeAnnees = anneeMetier.getAllAnnees();
}
public List getListeAnnees() {
return listeAnnees;
}
public void setListeAnnees(List listeAnnees) {
this.listeAnnees = listeAnnees;
}
}
More info:
Bean properties are shared across different sessions
Since you're learning Spring, the best bet would be to enable component scan and use annotations to configure your spring beans. Do the following:
Remove any bean configuration in applicationContext.xml.
Add this configuration to enable bean scan annotations:
<!--
These will enable component scan by annotation configuration
rather than XML configuration. One per package
-->
<context:component-scan base-package="dao" />
<context:component-scan base-package="model.services" />
Or if all your classes are inside one root package.
<!--
Assuming there's a root package for your packages like this
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myproject.dao" />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myproject.model.services" />
-->
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myproject" />
Start configuring your Spring managed beans by annotations:
#Repository
public class AnneeHibernateDao implements AnneeDao{
//...
}
#Service
public class AnneeMetierImpl implements AnneeMetier{
#Autowired
private AnneeDao anneeDao;
//...
}
Compile your project and run it.

You are using getListeAnnees where you intend to call a method of your private object called anneeMetier, which is not initialized yet. You initialize that object through your setAnneeMetier method, which is never initialized in your code, therefore it is null. You can solve your problem by doing one of the following:
You initialize anneeMetier by calling the setAnneeMetier before you use getListeAnnees
You implement a constructor for your AnneeBean class where you initialize anneeMetier
You modify your getter (getListeAnnees) to be such as follows:
public List getListeAnnees() {
if (anneeMetier == null) {
return new ArrayList<Annee>();
}
listeAnnees = anneeMetier.getAllAnnees();
return listeAnnees;
}
EDIT: pL4GU33's comment might be useful, so I add his comment's idea to the answer:
public List getListeAnnees() {
if (anneeMetier == null) {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
listeAnnees = anneeMetier.getAllAnnees();
return listeAnnees;
}
His solution is more type-agnostic, so I upvote his comment.

Saving Contact to Database in Java + Hibernate + Stripes

I've recently started working with the back end of Java coming from learning Ruby last year. I'm trying to do a simple "post" action saving a contact to a MySQL database. (Please forgive the newbie question).
I'm using Stripes, JPA & Hibernate. I've been following the Stripes book on setting up an environment for MVC and I'm a little stuck on the following error I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I know the error says I have an unhandled exception but I'm new enough, I'm not sure if this is the true cause of the error and I'm not sure if it is a Hibernate, Java or Stripes issue. I'm sure I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what. I'm posting the error along with some of my code.
Thanks for the help

Did you add the Stripersist package (org.stripesstuff.stripersist) to the Extension.Packages list in web.xml? Omitting that would account for the NPE.

Do you have a valid persistence.xml? You need it to configure the data source. In the end, it must be located in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml to correctly enable Java Persistence.
