Bean call bean on muti machines with multi JBoss server !

[changemylife]

Hi all !

I use jboss-4.0.5.GA, EJB 3.0.

I have installed JBoss server on two difference machines.

On the first machine, I have a bean called BeanA (has a method called hello()). ---> BeanA was deployed on the first machine
On the second machine, I have a bean called BeanB. ---> BeanB was deployed on the second machine.

Now, on the BeanB, can I call hello() (belong BeanA) ? Both of JBoss server (first and second machine) are running. Can BeanA lookup BeanB but on the difference machines ? If ok, where I must config ?

Please guide to me or show me some link about my problem !

thanks.

See this example:
http://www.laliluna.de/ejb-3-tutorial-jboss.html

Create a client class on Server1 to connect remotely to Server2.

[genman]

public class FirstEJB3TutorialClient {

is a good example; use the java.util.Properties object to set the hostname and don't use jndi.properties on Server1.

But my design is:
On the Server1, I have the bean called BeanA. It's simply:

@Remote
public interface Check {
 public boolean isValid(double a, double b);
}

and bean class:

public @Stateless class CheckBean implements Check {

 public boolean isValid(double a, double b) {
 if (b == 0)
 return false;
 else
 return true;

 }
}

Ok, I deploy BeanA on Server1.

Now, On the Server2, I have the bean called BeanB

@Remote
public interface Divide {
 public double divideNumber(double a, double b);
}

And bean class:

public @Stateless class DivideBean implements Divide {

 private Context context;

 public double divideNumber(double a, double b) {
 Context ctx = lookupServer();
 double result = 0;
 try {
 Check check = (Check)ctx.lookup("CheckBean\remote");
 boolean flag = check.isValid(a, b);
 if (flag)
 result = a / b;
 else
 result = 0;
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 return result;
 }

 private Context lookupServer(){

 Properties properties = new Properties();
 properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 properties.put("java.naming.provider.url","server1:1099"); <-- lookup on Server1

 try {
 context = new InitialContext(properties);
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 throw new RuntimeException(e);
 }
 return context;
 }
}

Ok, I deploy BeanB on Server2. But here, I must copy BeanA and paste deploy folder on Server2. How I don't do this (maybe configure to Server2 recognize BeanA)

The Client application on the difference machine:

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
properties.put("java.naming.provider.url","server2:1099"); <--- lookup on Server2

Context ctx = new InitialContext();

Divide div = (Divide)ctx.lookup("DivideBean/remote");
div.divideNumber(10,2)

Have some ideas ?

Thanks.

You dont have to copy the bean implementation of BeanA to Server2. You will just have to copy the bean interface (in this example the interface Check) to the Server2.
