hibernate not bound error

[Joe Marchi]

Hi Folks, im getting the following error message when running chapter 5 a exercise from JbossAtWork book. I have been using JBoss 5.1 and Java 6 with Oracle XE thus far and have had no problems running the previous exercises up until this point.

the error message:
[STDOUT] com.jbossatwork.util.ServiceLocatorException: com.jbossatwork.util.ServiceLocatorException: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: hibernate not bound]

here is a short hand version of what my ear, war and common jars look like:

jaw.ear (contains)
- META-INF
- application.xml
- jboss-app.xml
- common.jar
- jaw.har
- webapp.war

common.jar (contains)
- classes (including HibernateCarDAO.class, CarDTO.class, ServiceLocator.class)

jaw.har (contains)
- CarDTO.hbm.xml
- META-INF
- hibernate-service.xml

webapp.war (contains)
- META-INF
- WEB-INF
- classes (including ControllerServlet.class)
- lib folder
- jboss-web.xml
- web.xml
- jsps and other files

hibernate-service.xml looks as follows:

   
<server>
	<mbean code="org.jboss.hibernate.jmx.Hibernate" name="jboss.har:service=Hibernate">
		<attribute name="DatasourceName">java:/JBossAtWorkDS</attribute>
		<!-- DatasourceName matches the ds name -->
		<!-- attribute name="Dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</attribute-->
		<attribute name="Dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</attribute>
		<attribute name="SessionFactoryName">java:/hibernate/SessionFactory</attribute>
		<attribute name="CacheProviderClass">org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider</attribute>
	</mbean>
</server>  

build.xml for hibernatedoclet looks as follows:

  
    <target name="generate-hbm" description="Generate Hibernate hbm.xml file">
        <taskdef name="hibernatedoclet" classname="xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask" classpathref="xdoclet.lib.path" />
        <mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />    
        <mkdir dir="${gen.source.dir}" />              
        <hibernatedoclet destdir="${gen.source.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${source.dir}">
                <include name="**/*DTO.java" /><!-- bean class -->
            </fileset>    
            <hibernate version="3.0" />
        </hibernatedoclet>        
    </target>

    <target name="har" depends="generate-hbm" description="Builds the Hibernate HAR file">
        <mkdir dir="${distribution.dir}" />
        <jar destfile="${distribution.dir}/jaw.har">    	
            <!-- include the hbm.xml files  -->
            <fileset dir="${gen.source.dir}">
                <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
            </fileset>
            <!-- include jboss-service.xml -->
            <metainf dir="${hibernate.dir}">
                <include name="hibernate-service.xml"/>
            </metainf>
        </jar>
    </target>
  

ControllerServlet.java generates the following tags:

   
 * @web.servlet
 *    name="Controller"
 *
 * @web.servlet-mapping
 *    url-pattern="/controller/*"
 *
 * @web.resource-ref
 *    name="jdbc/JBossAtWorkDS"
 *    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 *    auth="Container"
 *
 * @jboss.resource-ref
 *    res-ref-name="jdbc/JBossAtWorkDS"
 *    jndi-name="java:/JBossAtWorkDS"
 *
 * @web.resource-ref
 *    name="hibernate/SessionFactory"
 *    type="net.sf.hibernate.SessionFactory"
 *    auth="Container"
 *
 * @jboss.resource-ref
 *    res-ref-name="hibernate/SessionFactory"
 *    jndi-name="java:/hibernate/SessionFactory"
 

HibernateCarDAO.java sends the following to ServiceLocator.java to perform a ServiceLocator.getHibernateSession(HIBERNATE_SESSION_FACTORY) which inturn does the
ctx.lookup(jndiSessionFactoryName)

  
private static final String HIBERNATE_SESSION_FACTORY="java:comp/env/hibernate/SessionFactory"
  

what am I doing wrong É and is their an alternative way to binding the mbean É

I have used the hibernate jars contained in the C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\common\lib for my compile and xdoclet classpaths
and also tried to alternatively use this version of hibernate instead for compile and xdoclet classpaths
C:\hibernate-distribution-3.5.1-Final and C:\hibernate-distribution-3.5.1-Final\lib\required

  
    <property name="hibernate.lib.dir" value="C:/hibernate-distribution-3.5.1-Final/lib/required"/>
	<property name="hibernate2.lib.dir" value="C:/hibernate-distribution-3.5.1-Final"/>
...
    <path id="compile.classpath">
        <fileset dir="${hibernate.lib.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    	<fileset dir="${hibernate2.lib.dir}">
    		<include name="**/*.jar"/>
    	</fileset>
    </path>
...
    <path id="xdoclet.lib.path">
        <fileset dir="${xdoclet.lib.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
        <fileset dir="${hibernate.lib.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    	<fileset dir="${hibernate2.lib.dir}">
    		<include name="**/*.jar"/>
    	</fileset>
    </path>
...
  

where am i going wrong. let me know if you need any additional snippets of this program.

Thanks in advance

Note to anyone going through the same problem of migrating the books code into the new JBoss. It appears that JBoss 5.1.0-GA has a new way of building a hibernate har file. I used this reference jboss 5.1.0-GA imgration to aid me in solving the problem.

hibernate-service.xml is now named service-hibernate.xml in the new JBoss version and it’s content has changed also.
