    Client for Ejb 3.1 session bean

    mcatalin23

      I've created a stateless session bean by ejb 3.1 and deployed it into Jboss 6.

      Can anyone help me with a tutorial for creating a simple client to access the sessino bean?

       

      I've tried something following an example but it doesn't work.

      I get the following message and I don't know if this the right direction.

       

      Here is the exception I got for following line of code:

           EJBContainer container = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();

       

      Exception in thread "main" javax.ejb.EJBException: Unable to instantiate container with factories []

          See EJB 3.1 Embeddable.

           

          I agree the error isn't really helpful, you can create a Jira for that bit. Basically it means that no EJB 3.1 Embeddable implementation was found on the class path.

            Creating with ejb 3.1 and deploying into jboss 6 stateless session beans is pretty easy.

            In Jboss log I have:

             

            15:07:14,861 INFO  [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:

                MyTestBean/remote-com.creon.ejb.TestBeanRemote - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface

                MyTestBean/local - EJB3.x Default Local Business Interface

                MyTestBean/local-com.creon.ejb.TestBeanLocal - EJB3.x Local Business Interface

             

             

             

            I'm trying to call methods using clients from the session bean deployed into jboss 6.0.0 final but with no success until now.

             

            Can someone recomands some documentation to help me create local and remote client to access the deployed sb?

              From a plain (remote) Java app:

                Properties p = new Properties( );

                p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");

                p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

                p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");

                Context context = new InitialContext(p);

                MyTestRemote bean = context.lookup("<your EAR name>/MyTestBean/remote")

               

              Inside the container (e.g. other SLSB):

              @EJB

              MyTest bean;  //injected

                This helps me go further but I have another issue now with the following line of code:

                 

                MyTestRemote bean = context.lookup("<your EAR name>/MyTestBean/remote")

                 

                In my client context.lookup returns Reference and I tryed the following instead of line above

                 

                Object bean = context.lookup("<your EAR name>/MyTestBean/remote")

                MyTestRemote myTR = (MyTestRemote) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(bean , MyTestRemote.class);

                 

                where MyTestRemote is the remote interface

                but I get following error:

                PS. I have found what the problem is

                jbossall-client.jar should be added to classpath from client folder

                  As you use EJB3 forget narrowing, you can use the remoteIF direct without this stuff

                   

                  Does your example work?

                  If yes you should set the thread as 'answered'
