2 session beans having a reference to each other can not be
I have 2 session beans creating a reference to each other in their ejbCreate() method. It looks like that the first session bean instance creates the second session bean instance wich creates another instance of the first one and so on. It was hapilly running with Jboss 4.0.0 and previous versions but not any more since version 4.0.2. I made a test program for isolating the problem, I am including the code and the JBoss outputs for JBoss 4.03RC2 and 4.0.0. I would appreciate your help for telling me how to make my test program working with the latest version of JBoss.
The code of the first session bean is the following:
package com.hollandhouse.unispool.app.test.circularsbreferencetest;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.EJBException;
import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
/**

* view-type="both"
*
* @ejb.ejb-ref ejb-name="SecondSession"
* view-type="local"
* ref-name="ejb/SecondSessionLocalHome"
*
*/
public class FirstSessionBean implements SessionBean {
private SessionContext m_sessionContext;
private SecondSessionLocal m_secondSessionLocal = null;
/**
* @ejb.interface-method
* @ejb.transaction type="Required"
*/
public void doNothing() {
}
/**
* @ejb.create-method
*/
public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {
try {
System.out.println("Creating FirstSessionBean...");
SecondSessionLocalHome localHomeObject
= (SecondSessionLocalHome) new InitialContext().lookup(SecondSessionLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
m_secondSessionLocal = (SecondSessionLocal) localHomeObject.create();
System.out.println("Created FirstSessionBean");
} catch(NamingException e) {
throw new CreateException("Can not create FirstSessionBean: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void ejbActivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void ejbPassivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext arg0) throws EJBException, RemoteException {
m_sessionContext = arg0;
}
}
The code of the second one (same as first one):
package com.hollandhouse.unispool.app.test.circularsbreferencetest;

*/
public class SecondSessionBean implements SessionBean {
private SessionContext m_sessionContext;
private FirstSessionLocal m_firstSessionLocal = null;
/**

*/
public void doNothing() {
}
/**

public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {
try {
System.out.println("Creating SecondSessionBean...");
FirstSessionLocalHome localHomeObject = (FirstSessionLocalHome) new InitialContext().lookup(FirstSessionLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
m_firstSessionLocal = (FirstSessionLocal) localHomeObject.create();
System.out.println("Created SecondSessionBean");
} catch(NamingException e) {
throw new CreateException("Can not create SecondSessionBean: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void ejbActivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void ejbPassivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
}
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext arg0) throws EJBException, RemoteException {
m_sessionContext = arg0;
}
}
The code of the test class:

public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException, RemoteException, CreateException {
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
Context context = new InitialContext(properties);
Object obj = context.lookup(FirstSessionHome.JNDI_NAME);
FirstSessionHome firstSessionHome = (FirstSessionHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, FirstSessionHome.class);
// Following create statement fails
FirstSession firstSession = firstSessionHome.create();
obj = context.lookup(SecondSessionHome.JNDI_NAME);
SecondSessionHome secondSessionHome = (SecondSessionHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, SecondSessionHome.class);
SecondSession secondSession = secondSessionHome.create();
firstSession.doNothing();
secondSession.doNothing();
}
}
