Java EE Cannot resolve reference Local ejb-ref
<p>I'm getting the following error:</p>

<pre><code>Severe:   Exception while deploying the app [snel-transport-web] : Cannot resolve reference Local ejb-ref name=UserFacade,Local 3.x interface =null,ejb-link=null,lookup=,mappedName=,jndi-name=,refType=Session
</code></pre>

<p>I had googled the error and I had arrived on the following questions on Stack Overflow:</p>

<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16167712/ejb-injection-failure-on-deploy">EJB Injection failure on deploy</a></p>

<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12823527/getting-cannot-resolve-reference-local-ejb-ref-not-implementing-parent-interface">Getting Cannot resolve reference Local ejb-ref not implementing parent interface</a></p>

<p>I assume it has something to do with my annotations <code>@remote</code> and <code>@LocalBean</code>.</p>

<p>Here is the code that I currently have:</p>

<p>AbstractFacade.java:</p>

<pre><code>@Remote
public abstract class AbstractFacade&lt;T&gt; {

    private Class&lt;T&gt; entityClass;

    public AbstractFacade(Class&lt;T&gt; entityClass) {
        this.entityClass = entityClass;
    }

    protected abstract EntityManager getEntityManager();

    public void create(T entity) {
        getEntityManager().persist(entity);
    }

    public void edit(T entity) {
        getEntityManager().merge(entity);
    }

    public void remove(T entity) {
        getEntityManager().remove(getEntityManager().merge(entity));
    }

    public T find(Object id) {
        return getEntityManager().find(entityClass, id);
    }

    public List&lt;T&gt; findAll() {
        javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
        cq.select(cq.from(entityClass));
        return getEntityManager().createQuery(cq).getResultList();
    }

    public List&lt;T&gt; findRange(int[] range) {
        javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
        cq.select(cq.from(entityClass));
        javax.persistence.Query q = getEntityManager().createQuery(cq);
        q.setMaxResults(range[1] - range[0] + 1);
        q.setFirstResult(range[0]);
        return q.getResultList();
    }

    public int count() {
        javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery cq = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery();
        javax.persistence.criteria.Root&lt;T&gt; rt = cq.from(entityClass);
        cq.select(getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder().count(rt));
        javax.persistence.Query q = getEntityManager().createQuery(cq);
        return ((Long) q.getSingleResult()).intValue();
    }  
}

<p>UserFacade.java:</p>

<pre><code>@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class UserFacade extends AbstractFacade&lt;User&gt; {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "com.mycompany_snel-transport-ejb_ejb_1.0-SNAPSHOTPU")

    @Override
    protected EntityManager getEntityManager() {
        return em;
    }

    public UserFacade() {
        super(User.class);
    }   
}
</code></pre>

<p>AuthCtrl.java:</p>

<pre><code>@Path("/auth")
@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class AuthCtrl extends Application {

    com.mycompany.UserFacade userFacade = lookupUserFacadeBean();

        } catch (NamingException ne) {
            Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "exception caught", ne);
