    Migrating from JBoss AS 4.2.1 to 5.1.0

    yuanlinh

      I am migrating from 4.2.1 from 5.1.0. The ear file works fine with 4.2.1, after changing xml descriptor files to new xsd and migrating to 5.1.0, still got the follwoing issue. Seems to to a application.xml issue. But I checked application.xml, there seems to be no issue with it. Could anyone point me to the right direction? Many thanks.

          The file has a problem. Notice the "application" element starting twice? Change it to:

            Hi Jaikian,

             

            Thank you so much. I simply removed the <application> tag, and the problem was solved.

             

            However, I got the follwoing ApplicationException error for the ear file, though the ear file worked fine with the 4.2.1 AS.

             

            IllegalArgumentException: ApplicationException is only valid on an Exception

             

            I searched the web, it seems indicating an issue with  @ApplicationException annotation.  The annoation should be used with an Exception rather than a xxxSessionEJB class (if this is the case, I don't understand why it worked with 4.2.1).

             

            Here is the way the annotation was used in the 4.2.1 code, would you be able to spot anything wrong or direct me to the right direction?

             

            Thank you in advance for your help.

             

            Michael

              @ApplicationException(rollback = true)

              public class ReportedEquipmentSessionEJB

              Like the error message says, you can't have the @ApplicationException on the bean class. Instead it has to be on the exception class which you expect to be an application exception. Do you have any such exceptions? If not, just remove that annotation from the bean.

                After removing @ApplicationException from all existing SessionEJBs, and put the @ApplicationException in BusinessException (a sub of Exception) and SystemException (a sub of RuntimeException), the EAR loaded successfully in 5.1.0.  Hope this info will help others who are doing migrating, too.

                 

                One thing is worth mentioning: the 4.2 allowed the @ApplicationException on SessionEJB, without complaining. It was not sure whether 4.2 just ignored the annoation, or it allows this as a variation of the systax. Further, with @ApplicationException on Exception,  5.1.0 loads the EAR successfully, but is there any independent test to verify that it will behave as it's supposed to? Let me know if you know the resutls or plan to do some test. Thanks.

                  JBoss AS 4.2.x was not fully EJB3 spec compliant. So it was a bug.

                  The spec mandates that the @ApplicationException be applied to an exception class and not the bean class. So it's the expected behaviour.

                    I think I probably should rephrase my questions:

                    1)  Does 4.2 just ignore the annoation, or  allow this as a variation of the syntax.; and

                    2) For 5.10, with @ApplicationException (rollback=true), will the server direct the exception from SessionEJB to its client and rollback the transaction?

                     

                    Thanks

                      I don't know what it does in 4.2. But whatever it does is a bug because @ApplicationException clearly isn't allowed on the bean class.
