How to inject EJB Session to ADF ManagedBean

Question

I'm researching about Oracle ADF and EJB. I'm using ADF faces as View and Controller, EJB as service. I don't want to use ADF model to bind EJB Session to interact with ADF faces. So, I have create a managed bean to interact with ADF faces

ManagedBean

public class EmployeeManagementController {
    private List<Jobs> jobList;
    private RichTable jobTable;
    private RichPanelGroupLayout panelGroup;

    //@EJB(mappedName = "HRSysDemo.JobBean",name = "jobBean")
    @EJB
    private JobBeanLocal jobBean; 
    /*...*/

    public void initPage() {
        System.out.println("TESTING . . .");
        jobList = jobBean.getJobsFindAll();
    }
}

Session Bean

@Stateless(mappedName = "HRSysDemo/JobBean")
public class JobBean implements JobBeanRemote, JobBeanLocal {
    @Resource
    SessionContext sessionContext;
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "Model")
    private EntityManager em;
    /*...*/
    public List<Jobs> getJobsFindAll() {
        return em.createNamedQuery("Jobs.findAll").getResultList();
    }
}

My problem is "jobBean" always get "null", it means EJB Session can not inject to ManagedBean. I have tried some ways, such as change interface injection (Remote interface), specify name and mappedName, but it's still not working. So, how can I inject a EJB SessionBean into a ADF ManagedBean?

Thank in advance!

I have made it by following some step in here, It's not working well but I have fixed them. I hope this will be helpful for someone else:
