init() function in HttpServlet class causes problems

Question

I'm trying to create an HttpServlet implementation. The problem is, the init() method get trigger and an exception thrown each time.

I just want to create self-made servelts and without using Spring etc. By the way, I’m using tomcat (right now is installed locally ), but I'm completely new to servelts, so a detailed answers are really welcomed. Thanks in advance!

SubmissionsController

//@WebServlet(urlPatterns = "/submissions")
public class SubmissionsController extends HttpServlet {
    private SQLService sqlService;

    @Override
    public void init()throws ServletException{
        sqlService = SQLService.getInstance();
    }

    @Override

 //       System.out.println(id);
    }

    @Override

What does `SQLService.getInstance();` look like? – Giorgi Tsiklauri Oct 10 '20 at 13:51 — Giorgi Tsiklauri, Oct 10 '20 at 13:51

add this library to your project:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
       <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
       <version>1.0.2</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

or:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>javax</groupId>
       <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
       <version>6.0</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>

OP is using Tomcat. Tomcat does not provide JPA nor Java EE at all. Tomcat is a barebones JSP/Servlet container. – BalusC Oct 10 '20 at 22:09
