    Naming Exception when I try to search the context

    wnchoi

      All,

      I am not sure how to deploy Ejb on my jBoss 3.0x and define the JNDI name for the Ejb. The follows are what I defined and the error return from the server

      The files created for the session ejb

      com/enixtech/ejb/DemoSessionHome <--- Home Interface
      com/enixtech/ejb/DemoSession <--- Remote Interface
      com/enixtech/ejb/DemoSessionBean <--- Session Bean

      In jboss-web.xml, I defined

      <ejb-ref>
      <ejb-ref-name>ejb/test/DemoSession</ejb-ref-name>
      <jndi-name>java:comp/env/ejb/DemoSession</jndi-name>
      </ejb-ref>


      In web-client, I defined

      <ejb-ref>
      <ejb-ref-name>ejb/test/DemoSession</ejb-ref-name>
      <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
      DemoSessionHome
      DemoSession
      </ejb-ref>

      In index.jsp, I wrote

      <%
      try {
      Context lContext = new InitialContext();
      DemoSessionHome lHome = (DemoSessionHome) lContext.lookup(
      "java:comp/env/ejb/DemoSession"
      );
      DemoSession lSession = lHome.create();
      out.println( "" + lSession.getCompanyName());
      }
      catch( Exception e ) {
      out.println( "Caugth exception: " + e.getMessage() );
      e.printStackTrace();
      }
      %>

      Error I got

      Caugth exception: DemoSession not bound

      All the stuff are referring from jBoss Template and could all the expert tell what I did wrongly and how to rectify it?

      Many thanks,
      kenny

          <ejb-ref>
          <ejb-ref-name>ejb/test/DemoSession</ejb-ref-name>

          defines
          java:comp/env/ejb/test/DemoSession

          <jndi-name> should be the global jndi name of the bean,
          you don't provide your deployment descriptors so I can't
          tell you what it is.

            Adrian,

            Thank you for your reply. First of all, I don't know what is global JNDI, so could you tell me more about this?

            In addition, the the descriptor values changed as you suggestioned, I got the error "Caugth exception: ejb not bound"

            Any idea for me? Many Many thanks !!

              You still haven't posted your deployment descriptors.

              By default jboss binds the ejb into global jndi
              at <ejb-name> unless you specify <jndi-name> in jboss.xml

              Assuming your ejb has just
              <ejb-name>DemoSession</ejb-name>

              You woud write
              <ejb-ref>
              <ejb-ref-name>ejb/test/DemoSession</ejb-ref-name>
              <jndi-name>DemoSession</jndi-name>
              </ejb-ref>

              The lookup
              java:comp/env/ejb/test/DemoSession

              For more info look at
              docs/dtd/jboss_3_0.dtd
              docs/dtd/jboss-web_3_0.dtd

                The &lt;ejb-ref&gt; element defines a reference from one bean to another. So in the xml you wrote your telling jboss the your session bean needs a reference to another session bean.
                To fix the problem, I suggest you remove the whole &lt;ejb-ref&gt; thing. Your webclient doesn't need it also. Remove all the &lt;ejb-ref&gt;s from your xmls.
                The lookup call you should use in your client should be the &lt;ejb-name&gt; of your bean. For example, if you typed your ejb-name like this:

                &lt;ejb-name&gt;DemoSession&lt;/ejb-name&gt;

                then you should have a lookup call like this:

                (DemoSessionHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(IContext.lookup("DemoSessionHome"), DemoSessionHome.class)

                The Home object is an RMI-IIOP objects and so the must be cast into RMI-IIOP objects using a special RMI-OOP cast. In short, usign PortableRemoteObject.narrow(...) is the proper way of casting a remote object.

                  Adrian/Jacky,

                  Thank you very much for your support. Now I could deploy ejb to my jBoss. However, I tried session bean only and believe will hit more problem on ejb deployment on the coming futher. This forum must be the way for me to find the answer.

                  Thanks,
