EJB Deployment

[mr86]

Hi

I have written a Stateful Session Bean and do not know how to deploy it with JBOSS.
What I have is the Home Interface, the Remote Interface and the Bean Implementation class itself.
I do also have a ejb-jar.xml File for that Bean.

I do know that these components are ok, because I developed and deployed them with the SunOneStudio 7 Enterprise Edition with Application Server. And it did work!
But I can't go on working with the SunOneStudio EE, because it was the 60 days trial version. So I was looking for an alternative -> JBOSS. I did try various things to deploy the EJB with JBOSS - but it did never work.
When I try to use my Bean, I get the error message that my Bean Name is not bound (obviously the EJB is unknown).

Can anybody tell me how I can deploy my EJB with JBOSS (the more detailed you answer the better it is)
How does the Bean.JAR-archive structure has to look like?

Thanks


Since I only have a generated ejb-jar.xml file, it would be nice if you could double-check it. But it should be ok.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>

<display-name>Basket</display-name>
<ejb-name>Basket</ejb-name>
EnterpriseJavaBeans.Basket.BasketHome
EnterpriseJavaBeans.Basket.Basket
<ejb-class>EnterpriseJavaBeans.Basket.BasketBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateful</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>
<container-transaction>
This value was set as a default by Sun ONE Studio.

<ejb-name>Basket</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>

<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>

Not sure what JNDI name would be used without ejb-ref set and no jboss.xml file. I guess ejb-name would be used in this case. Look in the JNDI list in the jmx-console to see what name it is bound to and that the bean is deployed correctly.

Hi,

your ejb-jar.xml seems to be okay.

You also need a jboss.xml file.

It should loook like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 3.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_3_0.dtd">



<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>Basket</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/Basket</jndi-name>

</enterprise-beans>

<resource-managers>
</resource-managers>




Now you have to put your bean, the interfaces and the two xml files in a jar file and copy it to the server/default/deploy directory of jboss.

As pointed out by Peejay u need Jboss.xml in yr xxx.jar file at the same level as ejb-jar.xml.
Aslo If u still have some problems, just check this as well.
