I have a war containing the following:

```

WEB-INF/classes/postgresql-ds.xml
WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

```

persistence.xml:

```xml

```

web.xml:

```

My TestServlet class is as follows:

```
package com.test.service;

import java.util.*;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.ws.rs.*;

@Path("/service")
public class TestService {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "test")
    private EntityManager em;

    @GET
    @Path("/get")
    @Produces("application/json")
    public List get() {
        return em.createQuery("from TestEntity").getResultList();
    }
}
```

When the get() method is invoked I get a NullPointerException; the EntityManager hasn't been injected. Any suggestions on what I might be missing or how I can diagnose it? There's very little in the server log.

I'm sure I had this working without the jboss-web.xml or the datasource entry in web.xml. I've deployed the ds.xml to the deploy directory separately too and that's definitely picked up - I can see it in the JMX console.

Tried using JBoss 4.2.3 and a 6.0 build with the same result.
