I'm working on rest service and learning EJB at the same time. I just run my application with simple chain controller -> service -> DAO and my EJB hotelService is not injected -- it is null. 

@Path("/hotels")
public class HotelsController {

@EJB
private HotelService hotelService;


@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response getHotelsList(@QueryParam("startDate") String startDate,
                              @QueryParam("endDate") String endDate) {
    List<HotelsEntity> list = hotelService.getAll();
    return ResponseFactory.response(Response.Status.OK, list);
}
}

Service

@Stateless
@EJB(beanInterface = HotelService.class, name = "HotelService")
public class HotelService {

@EJB
private HotelDAO hotelDAO;

public List<HotelsEntity> getAll() {
    return hotelDAO.getAll();
}

public Hotel getHotelById(final String id) {
    return hotelDAO.getHotelById(id);
}
}

DAO

@Stateless
public class HotelDAO {

@PersistenceContext(unitName = Constants.PERSISTENCE_UNIT)
private EntityManager em;

public List<HotelsEntity> getAll() {
    // TODO complete me
    CriteriaBuilder builder = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<HotelsEntity> criteria = builder.createQuery(HotelsEntity.class);
    Root<HotelsEntity> root = criteria.from(HotelsEntity.class);
    criteria.select(root);
    TypedQuery<HotelsEntity> resultQuery = em.createQuery(criteria);
    return resultQuery.getResultList();
}

I thought that issue may be in some eror during instatiation of HotelDAO but even without it mt HotelService is null.

Do you a have any opinion where is an issue can be?

You need to either implement a @Local annotated interface that expresses the local view of that EJB bean, or you need to add the @LocalBean annotation to the HotelService class itself to explicitly state that it is a local no-interface view of that EJB.

@Stateless
@EJB(beanInterface = HotelService.class, name = "HotelService")
@LocalBean
public class HotelService {
    // ...
}

If you want the service to be available outside of the container for RMI or EJB client execution, you'll need to create a @Local and @Remote view of that service and implement both.
