Problem with Local home interfce accessing in EJB.....

[Pras Tiwari]

Hi,

I am developing a small Application using EJB CMP2.0. I have successfully generated Local(will be used by client residing in same server as that of bean) & Remote(will be used by outside clients) Interfaces for my bean.
When I m trying to execute a client on My EJB using Remote Interfaces as follows:-
=====
home = (CartMasterHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(initialContext.lookup("ejb/CartMaster"),CartMasterHome.class);
=======
It works fine. But when I am trying to do same thing using Local interfaces as follow:-
=========
homelocal = (CartMasterLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("java:ejb/CartMaster");
=========
It gives me error like:-
=======
Cannot lookup : java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy0
=======

I don't know what is problem & where i m wrong.
Please tell me what is wrong here?

Thanx in advance.

What type of object is being returned? Invoke getClass().getName() on it and tell us what you get.

It seems that you're using the same JNDI name for looking up the local and remote homes. Could it be that you're looking up the remote home and then you're trying to cast it to a local home?

Hi,

I am using for remote access following code:-
=================================
home = (CartMasterHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(initialContext.lookup("ejb/CartMaster"),CartMasterHome.class);
=================================
& for local access following code:-
==================================
homelocal = (CartMasterLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("java:ejb/CartMaster");
==================================

For remote all thigs work fine but for local its not the case.

Where i m wrong pls tell me.
Thanx,

Hi
I think you are using jndi name of remote interface...

May be the JNDI name for Local Interface would be "CartMasterLocal". as u can't have same jndi name for both remote and local interface.

so instead of
homelocal = (CartMasterLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("java:ejb/CartMaster");

try

homelocal = (CartMasterLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("java:ejb/CartMasterLocal");

Hi kartik,
You are right. I got my mistake.
Thanx for your reply.

Hi,

I m trying to access my EJB through local interface
the part of content in my JBOSS.xml for bean is as follow:-
============
<entity>
<ejb-name>CartMaster</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/CartMaster</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>CartMasterLocal</local-jndi-name>
<method-attributes>
</method-attributes>
</entity>
============

Now in my client file i m writing following code for bean lookup:-
=============
cddhome.cmHome = (CartMasterLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("CartMasterLocal");
============

But i m getting error like:-
======================
Cannot lookup : javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)]
======================

Where i m wrong?
Please tell me.

Thanx

Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy

Place the jboss.jar in your classpath. This jar can be found in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/lib directory.

Pls help me.
Thanx in advance.

I assume you are using a Local Interface from a remote client or from another application within the app server.
Please remember that the local interface has no means to invoke an EJB in another JVM. The original problem was caused because, I guess, that you used the local interface in another application and the local interface from the JNDI server was loaded by another class loader than the one your class (application) loaded.

Hi Andreas,
I have my client which is just another project in the same workspace. I dont see why my workspace would have different JVM.(s) Yet I get this error. And I just cant figure out why.
This is what I did. I created the EJB as a EJB Project. In the same workspace I have a client which is a Java Project. The client has the localhome and local interface of the ejb in its classes (output directory).
After deploying, restarting jboss and running the application I get the error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy.invoke(LocalHomeProxy.java:118)
at $Proxy0.create(Unknown Source)
at beanClient.UseBean.main(UseBean.java:22)


Can you help me with this

Hi Hemant

Don't know if this will be much use, but I had similar issues with Local interface invocation on WebSphere:

Java Ranch Websphere Forum

Details my sorry tail. My issue was down to the way WebSphere 'binds' the jndi reference of the local interface.

Hope this is of some use
