    Remove CMP bean fail if called within MDB

    hfarid

      I am trying to remove an instance of a CMP entity bean.

      The entity bean PK looks like

      /**
       * @ejb.pk-field
       * @ejb.persistence column-name="id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" sql-type="SERIAL"
       * @jboss.persistence auto-increment="true"
       * @ejb.interface-method view-type="both"
       * @ejb.transaction type="Supports"
       */
       public abstract Integer getId();
      
       /**
       * @ejb.interface-method view-type="both"
       */
       public abstract void setId(Integer id);
      
      


      The following tags are added to the entity to allow genrating the ids
      * @jboss.entity-command name="informix-serial" class="org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.keygen.JDBCInformixCreateCommand"
       * @jboss.entity-command-attribute name="method" value="getSerial"
      



      every time I try to execute a "remove" on the remote/local home, I get

      ERROR [STDERR] javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException: Internal error getting primary key field member id; CausedByException is:
       null; nested exception is:
       javax.ejb.EJBException: Internal error getting primary key field member id; CausedByException is:
       null


      To be more specific on how the "remove" call is reached
      - a stateful session bean create the entity in the DB
      - within the same session bean method, a JMS message is sent to JmsXA queue for further processing (JmsXA is used to make sure the messages will be sent AFTER commiting the DB creation)
      - the MDB is called with the message
      - the MDB perform some checks on the entity (this involves instatiating the entity by doing find by primary key)
      - in some cases the MDB would decide to delete that entity (That's when the error happen)

      When I try to delete the object directly within the session bean... everything works fine ? it looks the problem has somethignto do with the session/MDB transaction


      Can anyone help please.

      Thanks

          After more reading, I reliazed that I am getting myself into "dist transaction" domain so I did the following:
          - Implemented SessionSynchronization in my stateful session bean.
          - Modified my business methods to cache the JMS messages in a member of the session bean.
          - in "afterCompletion()" I am submitting the JMS messages to the queue (changed it back to XConnFactory instead of JmsXA)
          - On the MDB side, I can read attributes from my entity beans but when I try to remove it , it thows ClassCastException on the PK class

          My PK class is basically an Integer generated by xdoclet

          Anybody help ... PLEASE.

          Thanks

            Yet another LOW point in my career as software designer.
            I found what was the problem and it has nothing to do with transactions

            I was doing remoteHome.remove(remoteInterface) which is failing becuase it expects a PrimaryKey (that's explain the Cast error).

            I don't know which transaction model should I follow
            - use JmsXA and enlist the JMS in the transaction [ I noticed sometimes
            the following message

            18:56:47,578 WARN [TxConnectionManager] Prepare called on a local tx. Use of local
            transactions on a jta transaction with more than one branch may result in inconsistent
            data in some cases of failure.


            - use afterCompletion(true) to send my JMS

            Thanks for your help
