JCA/CICS has problem with JBoss4.0 RC1

[chen_comp]

Hi,
I have a application using IBM CICS adapter, it has been successfully deployed into JBOSS 3.XX. When I deploy cicseic.rar and corresponding cicseci-service.xml, I got following msg:

15:23:11,743 ERROR [URLDeploymentScanner] Incomplete Deployment listing:

Anybody help will be much appreciated.

The -service.xml type deployment of connection factories hasn't been
suported since 3.0.8. You should use the -ds.xml format.

Assuming you are using the old example from docs/examples/jca

In 3.2.x this would be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connection-factories>
 <tx-connection-factory>
 <jndi-name>ra/cicsr9s</jndi-name>
 <adapter-display-name>ECIResourceAdapter</adapter-display-name>

 <config-property name="ServerName" type="java.lang.String">CICSR9S</config-property>
 <config-property name="UserName" type="java.lang.String">CICSUSER</config-property>
 <max-pool-size>50</max-pool-size>
 </tx-connection-factory>

</connection-factories>

In 4.0.x there is a slight change because multiple connections definitions
(connection factory classes) are allowed per resource adapter:

XXXXXXXXXX is the name of the rar deployment, e.g. cics9rs.rar?
YYYYYYYYYY is the name of the connection factory class from the ra.xml inside
the rar

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connection-factories>
 <tx-connection-factory>
 <jndi-name>ra/cicsr9s</jndi-name>
 <rar-name>XXXXXXXXXX</rar-name>
 <connection-definition>YYYYYYYY</connection-definition>
 <config-property name="ConnectionURL" type="java.lang.String">tcp://arno</config-property>
 <config-property name="PortNumber" type="java.lang.String">2006</config-property>
 <config-property name="ServerName" type="java.lang.String">CICSR9S</config-property>
 <config-property name="UserName" type="java.lang.String">CICSUSER</config-property>
 <max-pool-size>50</max-pool-size>
 </tx-connection-factory>

</connection-factories>

See jms-ds.xml or
http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ConfigConnectionFactory
for more info.

Once you have a working version, please post it back so I can add it to
docs/examples/jca for others to use.

[chen_comp]

Thanks.

After I filled in XXX/YYY, it works now. Below is the code after I filled in parameter:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connection-factories>
<tx-connection-factory>
<jndi-name>ra/cicsr9s</jndi-name>
<rar-name>cicsr9s.rar</rar-name>
<connection-definition>javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
<config-property name="ConnectionURL" type="java.lang.String">tcp://arno</config-property>

<config-property name="ServerName" type="java.lang.String">CICSR9S</config-property>
<config-property name="UserName" type="java.lang.String">CICSUSER</config-property>
<max-pool-size>50</max-pool-size>
</tx-connection-factory>

</connection-factories>

Sorry for my english.

Where i found the file cicseci.rar?

and how I deploy the cicsc-ds.xml into Jboss.

I use Jboss 3.2.2

Thank in advance.

[chen_comp]

You have to get from IBM. It is resource adapter for CICS.

Just copy XX-ds.xml into deploy directory.

Chen

Make sure your cicseci.rar is in the deploy directory for your server. Also, are you embedding your RAR file inside an EAR?

[bkseow]

Hi,

The resource adapter is in the deploy directory. No, the rar file is not embedded in ear.

I have performed the similar steps in JBOSS 3.x and the problem does not appear. Any difference in 4.x as compared to 3.x in deploying resource adapter ?

Thanks.

Can you verify through the JMX console that you RAR is indeed installed? Something doesn't make sense, I just want to make sure that the RAR is getting installed at all.

[bkseow]

Hi,

The adapter was installed as I can see the following entries through jmx-console:

:
:
name=cicseci,service=ConnectionFactoryBinding
name=cicseci,service=ManagedConnectionFactory
name=cicseci,service=ManagedConnectionPool
name=cicseci,service=TxCM
:

The CICS resource adapter that I am using come with IBM CICS Transaction Gateway (CTG) V5. I have tried to use the adapter that comes with IBM CTG V4 on JBOSS 4.x and I can connect to the host without any problem. Can the problem be related to the adapter ?


Seow

[weston.price]

That would be my guess. Could you turn on tracing when you deploy your *-ds.xml file and then send it to me?

[bkseow]

Hi,

The version of JBoss that I have used for my application is 4.0.0. When I tried to use it on 4.0.2, it does not report any eror relating to the resource adapter. Quite strange that it can work on 3.x and 4.0.2 but not 4.0.0.
