5.0.0CR1: EJB refs across EARs don't work

[juergen.zimmermann]

I'm having 2 different EARs and stateless session beans of the 2nd EAR are referencing stateless session beans of the 1st ear. It worked fine with 4.2.2

When migrating to 5.0.0CR1 I got an error message which indicated that I must add "mappedName" to the referenced SLSBs. Now the error is gone, but when deploying the second EAR (with the referencing SLSBs) I get this warning:

WARN [org.jboss.deployment.MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer] (HDScanner) Unresolved references exist in JBossMetaData:[testHskaEJB.jar#KundenverwaltungTestBean:AnnotatedEJBReferenceMetaData{name=kvProxy,ejb-ref-type=null,link=null,ignore-dependecy=false,mapped/jndi-name=mapped/hska/Kundenverwaltung,resolved-jndi-name=null,beanInterface=interface de.hska.kundenverwaltung.Kundenverwaltung}, testHskaEJB.jar#BestellverwaltungTestBean:AnnotatedEJBReferenceMetaData{name=bvProxy,ejb-ref-type=null,link=null,ignore-dependecy=false,mapped/jndi-name=mapped/hska/Bestellverwaltung,resolved-jndi-name=null,beanInterface=interface de.hska.bestellverwaltung.Bestellverwaltung}]

Code of the referenced SLSB in the 1st EAR:

@Stateless(mappedName="mapped/hska/Kundenverwaltung")
public class KundenverwaltungBean implements Kundenverwaltung {
 @SuppressWarnings("unused")
 @PersistenceContext
 private EntityManager em;

 @EJB
 private KundenverwaltungDao dao;

 @EJB
 @IgnoreDependency
 private Bestellverwaltung bv;

 @Resource
 private SessionContext sessionCtx;

Code of the referencing SLSB in the 2nd EAR:

@Stateless
@Remote(KundenverwaltungTestRemote.class)
public class KundenverwaltungTestBean implements KundenverwaltungTestRemote {
 @EJB(mappedName="mapped/hska/Kundenverwaltung")
 private Kundenverwaltung kvProxy;

Use the JNDIView http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/DisplayTheJNDITreeWithTheJMXConsole to check what's the jndi name for your bean1 in EAR1. Then try using that as the mapped name for injecting this bean in bean2 in EAR2. You can post the JNDI tree here, if you need help in understanding the output.

P.S: A new forum for JBoss AS5 has been created at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287 for JBoss AS5 specific questions. Let's use that forum for any new questions on JBoss 5.

@Stateless(mappedName="mapped/hska/Kundenverwaltung")
public class KundenverwaltungBean implements Kundenverwaltung

Instead of mappedName, use @RemoteBinding for specifying JNDI name for the remote interface of the bean and @LocalBinding for the local interface:

import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.LocalBinding;
import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.RemoteBinding;

@Stateless
@RemoteBinding (jndiBinding = "mapped/hska/Kundenverwaltung")
public class KundenverwaltungBean implements Kundenverwaltung

And in which jar do I find the org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.LocalBinding?
I only found it in the embedded JBoss, but this is definately not what I´d like to include in my jar-dependencies.

And what is the reason, that there are two annotations LocalBinding? There is also one in org.jboss.annotation.ejb.LocalBinding that can be found in the jar "jboss-annotation-ejb-4.2.3.GA"
