Retrieve products, netbeans, and I get a null pointer exception

Question

I am trying to retrieve products from derby data database in netbeans, and I get a null pointer exception in line 33 : index.java . in addition I am new to java.

below is my code for my operation class:

package project.ejbs;

import java.util.List;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import project.entities.Products;


@Stateless
public class Operations {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName="Web2PU")
    private EntityManager em;

    public List<Products> retrieveProducts(){
        return em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Products p").getResultList();
    }
}

below is Index.java class:

package project.web;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
// import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import project.ejbs.Operations;
import project.entities.Products;

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class Index implements Serializable {

    // @EJB
    private Operations operations;   

    public Index() {}

    public List<Products> getProducts(){
        return operations.retrieveProducts();
    }  
}

below is my products entity class:

        public Products() {
        }

        public Products(Integer id) {
            this.id = id;
            System.out.println();
        }

            hash += (id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0);
            return hash;
        }

        @Override

            // TODO: Warning - this method won't work in the case the id fields are not set
            if (!(object instanceof Products)) {
                return false;
            }
            Products other = (Products) object;
            if ((this.id == null && other.id != null) || (this.id != null && !this.id.equals(other.id))) {
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        }





        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "project.entities.Products[ id=" + id + " ]";
        }

    }
