Injecting an EJB in a simple java class

Hi,

I have a RESTful web service set to call a simple Java class XMLProcessor whose function is to process an xml string and call an EJB that will then insert the parsed xml values into a database.

My problem is that if I am unable to inject the EJB in XMLProcessor.  I have tried adding @Stateless at the beginning of the class :

import javax.ejb.Stateless
@Stateless
public class XMLProcessor { ...}

but once I do that, I get the following error when trying to deploy my web service:

Input stream has been finalized or forced closed without being explicitly closed; stream instantiation reported in following stack trace:

If I don't put @Stateless, the ejb is never injected and my ejb variable remains null.

Basically, here is the workflow:
- an @POST method gets called in my web service.  
- the above method creates an XMLProcessor instance and calls the processXMLHeader
- the XMLProcessor processXMLHeader method parses the xml and calls an insert method defined in the EJB.

How do I accomplish that?

@Path("myPath")
public class WebService {
    @Context
    private UriInfo context;

    public ErmResource() {
    }

    @POST
    @Produces("text/plain")
    public String loadFile(@Context HttpServletRequest request) {
         [..]
         XMLProcessor xmlp = new XMLProcessor();
         xmlp.setHeader(header);
         xmlp.processXMLHeader();
     }
}

@Stateless
public class XMLProcessor {
[...]

    @EJB
    private RESTwsEJB wsEJB;


    public XMLProcessor() {
    }

    public void processXMLHeader() {
          [...]
          wsEJB.insert(values);
    }


[...]
}



@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class RESTwsEJB extends AbstractEJB {
    public RESTwsEJB() {
        super();
    }

    public void insert(String[] values) {
       [...]
    }
}
