EJB called outside the server ? how it works

[airman]

Hi,

I have some EJBs session in my Jboss server. I'd want to use it outside the server, from a main method in a simple class.

I'd want to run it all in Eclipse for example.

What must I do ?

I'v tried this, but it does not work :

NOTE : "ejb/com/watoo/j2ee/business/administration/TestFacade" is my JNDI name defined in the jboss.xml file.

public void main () {
myProperties.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
myProperties.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "127.0.0.1:1099");
myProperties.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
InitialContext myInitialContext = new InitialContext(myProperties);
myRef = myInitialContext.lookup("ejb/com/watoo/j2ee/business/administration/TestFacade");
TestFacadeHome home = (TestFacadeHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(myRef, TestFacadeHome.class);
this.myFacade = home.create();
}



Thank you for helping me

Test code looks fine.
What does not work exactly?

Have you set up the Classpath in Eclipse to use the additional at runtime?

I am not sure which ones are required exactly but I usually set the client to use all of the jars in the jboss/client folder when running with Eclipse.

Also does the client have access to the classes that are deployed on the server?

Hi,

It's OK, I'v forgotten some jar...

The jar needed are :
- jbossall-client.jar
- jnp-client.jar

That's all

Cheers,
