ejb 3.0--connecting to a DB

[Viet Hung Nguyen]

I am unable to get a handle on a EntityManagerFactory.
I have the following configuration using Derby as the DB on Geronimo 2.0:

--*persistence.xml *which is in the JAR file under META-INF--

Here is a snippet of code of how I am I trying to access the EMF:

@Stateless
public class BankManagerFacadeBean {
  
   @PersistenceUnit(unitName="BankPU")
   protected EntityManagerFactory emf;

   // other stuff

   public Collection<Account> getAccountInformation(String customerId) {
       EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

       String query = "SELECT * FROM Account WHERE customerId='" + 
customerId + "'";
       Collection<Account> accountBeanList = 
(Collection<Account>)em.createQuery( query ).getResultList();

       em.close();
       return accountBeanList;
   }
}

However, 'emf' is actually null after I had mapped BankPU to it.

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks,
