Hi,
I am trying to invoke my EJB ( stateless session ) through iiop protocol. My client code is based on the sample bean provided by weblogic. I have the client code given below

When I run the client I get the following exception ...


I am invoking the EJB in the same way as it has been suggested by weblogic. I reffered to this url
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/rmi_iiop/API_rmi_iiop.html#1044525

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? My EJB is OK as I can invoke it nicely from a t3 client.

Try it with the weblogic initial Context
In obtaining an initial context, you have two choices when defining your JNDI context factory:

weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory
You can use either of these when setting the value for the "Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY" property that you supply as a parameter to new InitialContext(). If you use the Sun version, you'll have a Sun JNDI client, which in turn uses the Sun RMI-IIOP ORB implementation of J2SE 1.3; this may be important to you if you wish to minimize the use of WebLogic classes on the client. To take full advantage of WebLogic's RMI-IIOP implementation however, it is recommended that you use the weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory method.

Yep .. I am trying to avoid weblogic classes in the client.
Using weblogic's JNDI the EJB is invoked perfectly . Though I did not try iiop ( I tried t3) ... but supplying the huge weblogic.jar to the client is a big ask.

I will keep this thread updated with what I have learnt...

1. My client code is working fine with weblogic specific t3 prptocol, using
weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
This I don't want.

My motivation is to invoke my ejb in a way which is independent of any vendor specific classes. Anyway, it makes little sense for the client to have the huge weblogic.jar file for a JNDI lookup.

I am trying alternative routes to invoke my EJB from the client. I thought that invoking it over iiop would free myself from weblogic specific classes.
Thank you Rahul for your reply... but I am not being able to get this damn thing working ...
I took a perfectly valid client code which invokes the EJB over t3. Then I made the following changes ...
1. changed the protocol from t3 to iiop ie my URL was changed from t3://localhost:7001 to iiop://localhost:7001 I am still using weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory here. I got a class cast exception when I tried to narrow down the home.
2. I changed the initialcontext factory also, to the com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory
But could not get rid of the class cast exception.

I tried to look at the object when I am doing a lookup . I had the following print
com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.CDRInputStream$1:IOR:00000000000000

I tried to look up the API documentation of this class somewhere on the net, but I have not found it yet.

{b] The big question is : Am I missing something ? Do I have to deploy the EJB in some special way in the server, so that it can be invoked over iiop ?
[/b]
I am looking out for solutions .. I will keep this thread updated. Meanwhile if anyone can help, that would be great.

Solved it at last ... there was nothing wrong with the client ... I was foolish to think that no configuration at the server end ....

I re-compiled my ejb with the follwing command ...
java weblogic.ejbc -compiler javac -keepgenerated -idl -idlDirectory idlSources -iiop ejb_far2cent.jar ejb_iiop_far2cent.jar

And then redeployed it .. now everything is working fine ....
It's worth looking at the client.jar that ejbc has generated. Now it contains the stub classes also .. along with home and remote

Hi Shubhrajit,

I am facing same problem. I didn't get your above solution.

My ejb is deployed on weblogic and my client requirement is JDK 1.4 so I can't use wlfullclinet or wlcinet.jar

May I know how can I lookup ejb. What changes I need in ejb and client side

My classes

EJB server

/**
* 11.06.2012.
* Session Bean implementation class CMSyncBean
* @author pharapra
*
*/
@Stateless
//(name = "CRMSyncBean", mappedName = "CRMSyncRemote")
@Remote(CRMSyncRemote.class)
@RemoteHome(CRMSyncHome.class)
public class CRMSyncBean {

public CRMSyncUserVO createWebIssuer(final CRMSyncOrganisationVO orgVO) throws BusinessException, SystemException {
}
}

//Home

public interface CRMSyncHome extends EJBHome
{
CRMSyncRemote create() throws javax.ejb.CreateException, RemoteException;
}

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Client

//Remote
public interface CRMSyncRemote extends EJBObject {
CRMSyncUserVO createWebIssuer(CRMSyncOrganisationVO orgVO) throws RemoteException, BusinessException, SystemException;
}

Lookup code

public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException, RemoteException, CreateException {
Context ctx = null;
Hashtable<String, String> ht = new Hashtable<String, String>();
CRMSyncRemote remote = null;
//ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
//ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:7001");
ctx = new InitialContext(ht);
final Object objref = ctx.lookup("CRMSyncCRMSync-EJB-0_0_1-SNAPSHOT_jarCRMSyncBean_EO");
System.out.println(objref);

final CRMSyncHome home = (CRMSyncHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, CRMSyncHome.class);
System.out.println("Got CRMSyncHome: " + home + " for " + home);

home.create();
//println("Got the MEJB");

}

Exception is
