EJB application deployment problem

[Garlapati Ravi]

Hi All,

I am dying to deploy/run a simple EJB application.

I belive i got correct application server to deploy EJB3.0 application, i am using jboss-4.2.1.GA, from it's release notes i came to know it supports EJB3.0, please find the below link for that info.
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=523619&group_id=22866

now my question is, why i am getting the below error at the time of deployment ?

i suspect this server follows EJB2.0 specification, but how come it's release notes specifies it supports EJB3.0, do i need to modify any thing in my code to make it work. Please help me out.
please find my code in below post, unfortunately it has been moved to BEA/weblogic category.

JBoss-4.2.1 does support EJB3. Post the output of the following commands:

jar -tf PlaceBid.ear

and

jar -tf PlaceBidEJB.jar

Also post the contents of your application.xml. In your PlaceBidEJB.jar do you have a ejb-jar.xml? (Its not mandatory).

P.S: The latest stable version of JBoss is 4.2.3 GA. Its always better to use the latest stable version. But as far as this error is concerned, it's not because of the JBoss version.

[Jaikiran Pai]

Also post the entire logs, that you see on the console (from the point when you start JBoss). While posting logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block.

[Garlapati Ravi]

Thank you very much Jaikiran,

i think i am nearing, it deployed properly after removing ejb-jar.xml. But i am unable to access the application, i got below exception on browser :

[Jaikiran Pai]

The logs dont show that the WAR files in the EAR is being deployed. Your application.xml looks incorrect:

 <module>
<ejb>PlaceBidEJB.jar</ejb>
    <web>
      <web-uri>PlaceBidWeb.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>PlaceBidApp</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>

It should be:

<module>
<ejb>PlaceBidEJB.jar</ejb>
 </module>
 
 <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>PlaceBidWeb.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>PlaceBidApp</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>

Change the application.xml and redeploy the application.

[Sergio Tridente]

Are you sure your web application gets deployed without problems? Are there any log files where you can check that out (I am running JBoss under Linux and my logs are printed to a file instead of to the console)?
If you can't find more log information then you could try checking JBoss' jmx-console.

Also it would be useful if you post the PlaceBidServlet code.

[Christophe Verré]

unfortunately it has been moved to BEA/weblogic category

Please understand that containers problems should be discussed at their respective forum, where you'll have more chances to find help.

[Garlapati Ravi]

Thank you Jaikiran,

one step away.

After changing application.xml i could able to access my application, i think now it deployed properly, but i believe lookup is not happening, i guess EJBs are not registered with JNDI. what else need to be done. please help. I had a look in to log file, no exceptions regarding EJBs deployment.

The NullPointerException is coming from the PlaceBidServlet code. Post the code of the service method. Check what line number 14 is doing in that code.

[Garlapati Ravi]

you can find all classes coding in the below post:
https://coderanch.com/t/421092/BEA-Weblogic/unable-deploy-EJB-component

my servlet code is as below:

package com.ravi.bidding;
 
import javax.ejb30.EJB;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class PlaceBidServlet extends HttpServlet {
 
  @EJB
  private com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid placeBid;
 
  public void service(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException {
      [B]placeBid.addBid("super kada"); // line 14[/B]
  }
}

[Jaikiran Pai]

@EJB
private com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid placeBid;

In JBoss-4.2.x, the @EJB injection does not work in servlets. It works only in EJBs. JBoss-5 (which is still in a CR version) is a JavaEE5 server and the @EJB injection in servlets is going to work in JBoss-5 versions.

Your alternate option is to do a JNDI lookup of the bean in your service method instead of injecting it.

[Garlapati Ravi]

Thank you for your info, I wrote below code in servlet to lookup EJB. It throws an exception:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: PlaceBidBean not bound

I doubt whether EJBs are registered in JNDI, any clues ?

package com.ravi.bidding;
 
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid;
import javax.ejb30.EJB;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class PlaceBidServlet extends HttpServlet {
 
  @EJB
  private com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid placeBid;
 
  public void service(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException {
  try{
Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
Object ejbHome = initialContext.lookup("java :-P	 laceBidBean");
PlaceBid placeBid = (PlaceBid)ejbHome;
System.out.println(placeBid.addBid("super kada"));
   }catch (NamingException e) 
   {
System.out.println(e);
   } 
   }
}

[Jaikiran Pai]

You are using an incorrect jndi name for looking up the bean. Use the jmx-console to figure out the jndi-name of your bean and then use that string in the lookup().

[Garlapati Ravi]

I didn't find anything regarding PlaceBidEJB.jar nor about EJB class name, everywhere i could see about PlaceBidWeb.war or PlaceBid.ear, but nothing about .jar file.

even checked for JNDI in complete jmx-console, no use. nothing about PlaceBid

did Ctrl+F for strings "PlaceBid" and "Place", everywhere it shows about web, nothing found about EJB/.jar file.

followed the steps in jmx-console link. no use.

anything else ?

please find below lines on my jboss console, nothing about .jar/EJB.

09:20:55,437 INFO  [EARDeployer] Init J2EE application: file:/C:/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/MigrationDomain/deploy/PlaceBid.ear

09:20:55,875 INFO  [EARDeployer] Started J2EE application: file:/C:/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/MigrationDomain/deploy/PlaceBid.ear

These are the lines i found on console regarding my application, don't find anything else. I belive it supposed to show something about .jar/ejb as well right ?

Any clues ?

Post the code of your beans. Have you annotated them appropriately?

[Garlapati Ravi]

[Jaikiran Pai]

From your other thread:

import javax.ejb30.Stateless;
@Stateless
....

import javax.ejb30.Local;
@Local
...

The imports are wrong. It should be javax.ejb.Stateless and same for the rest of the other imports. Where did you get that example from? I am surprised that it even compiled, unless ofcourse you created the javax.ejb30 package or is present in some jar in your application.

You spot it correct man, thank you, i believe EJB module got deployed, but i am unable to trace out JNDI name, can we trace JNDI name from below log comments made on jboss console at deployment time, i was looking into jmx-console, i found MBean: jboss.j2ee:ear=PlaceBid.ear,jar=PlaceBidEJB.jar,name=PlaceBidBean,service=EJB3
any clues from this ?
I am using PlaceBidEJB by guessing it could be my JNDI name, but it throws me same exception :

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: PlaceBidBean not bound

I got javax.ejb30.* package from weblogic.jar of weblogic9.1, i removed it and replaced it with jboss-ejb3x.jar

14:14:14,174 INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBidBean ejbName: PlaceBidBean

So now the bean has been deployed.

Follow this link again, access the JNDIView MBean and invoke the list method. Post the output that you see on the JNDI tree page, here.

I found lots of things, but i am posting only related to my application:

java:comp namespace of the PlaceBid.ear/PlaceBidWeb.war application:
  +- UserTransaction[link -> UserTransaction] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
  +- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   +- security (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   |   +- realmMapping[link -> java:/jaas/other] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
  |   |   +- subject[link -> java:/jaas/other/subject] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
  |   |   +- securityMgr[link -> java:/jaas/other] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
  |   |   +- security-domain[link -> java:/jaas/other] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)

Global JNDI Namespace
  +- PlaceBid (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   +- PlaceBidBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   |   +- local (proxy: $Proxy65 implements interface com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject)

+- PlaceBid (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- PlaceBidBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- local (proxy: $Proxy65 implements interface com.ravi.bidding.ejb.PlaceBid,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject)

Based on this, your lookup string should be "PlaceBid/PlaceBidBean/local" to get the local bean.

PlaceBid placeBid = (PlaceBid) initialContext.lookup("PlaceBid/PlaceBidBean/local");

Thank You very much 'Jaikiran Pai'. Happiest moment of the month. I could successfully deployed and accessed my first EJB3.0 application. If this doesn't work by any reason, i would have disappointed. I learned many things.

you are equally good at JBOSS as well, that's really cool.

thank you once again !
