The spring way of doing this is to simply inject the EntityManager with the PersistenceContext annotation and return the delegate...
Your container in this case is Spring and is likely returning null from entityManager.getDelegate(), resulting in an NPE on jpaEntityManager. GetActiveSession(). Try starting a transaction, or getting the EntityManager from an unwrapped EclipseLink EntityManagerFactory directly instead.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
