java - Tomcat resource pool not giving connection in websocket server endpoint

I'm using Tomcat 8 as a server with my java web application, it's a tic tac toe online game.

I have a server endpoint configured using javax.websocket.Server.ServerEndpoint class but when I try to import the resource in it it gives me NullPointerException when I try to get connection. It works fine when i get that connection from my servlets but only in server endpoint gives me null.The line with error is commented bellow:

Also here is the repository with all the file if it helps: https://github.com/EduardValentin/TicTacToe-WebApp---Java-Servlets/tree/master/Web%20Client/src/java
