Janeva 6 & JBOSS

[paper57]

Has anyone gotten Janeva 6 to work with JBOSS? I'm trying to execute a method on a stateless session bean from my C# app, but I cannot seem to get anything to work.

Here is the copy'n'paste from the borland.public.janeva newsgroup:

Even though Janeva is not officially certified to support JBoss
(mostly due to some issues with JBoss/JacORB to comply with the
CORBA RMI-over-IIOP spec), the basic functionality works fine.

To demonstrate this, here are the step-by-step instructions how
to run the Janeva Cart example against JBoss 3.2.3:

(1) Add the jboss.xml deployment descriptor file into
the %janeva%\examples\Shared\Java\Cart\cart_beans.jar archive
under the META-INF directory. The contents of jboss.xml file
should be as follows:


<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>cart</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>examples/Cart</jndi-name>
<configuration-name>Standard Stateful SessionBean</configuration-name>
<invoker-bindings>

<invoker-proxy-binding-name>iiop</invoker-proxy-binding-name>

</invoker-bindings>

</enterprise-beans>


This step is needed to enable accessing the Cart bean via
the IIOP protocol.

(2) Configure JBoss to disable chunking (an RMI-over-IIOP feature)
as it seems to be broken in the current version of JacORB (version 2)
used by JBoss for the RMI-over-IIOP support. To achieve it, open
the %jboss$\server\all\conf\jacorb.properties file in your text editor
and switch the value of the jacorb.interop.chunk_custom_rmi_valuetypes
parameter from on to off.

(3) Start JBoss under the 'all' configuration (e.g. using
the "run -c all" command). Note that it is important to use the 'all'
configuration as the default configuration doesn't enable the IIOP
support.

(4) Deploy the cart_bean.jar file into the JBoss server by copying
it into the %jboss%\server\all\deploy directory.

(5) Run any Janeva Cart client (e.g.
the %janeva%\examples\J2EE\CartClient example) using the following
line as a NamingService bootstrap IOR:

corbaloc::localhost:3528/JBoss/Naming/root

It's possible. See "using Janeva with JBoss" posting in the borland.public.janeva newsgroup.

After working out much of what has been posted here by good old trial and error, I have one remaining problem with JacORB: dates. Or, more correctly, I can retrieve a java.util.Date from my EJB, but I can't write it.

Some notes:
- it works with BES
- chunking is disabled
- String and BigDecimal work
- Versions tested include 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4RC2.

Error output (from 3.2.3):
2004-06-07 16:23:11,289 INFO [STDOUT] [ POA EJBObject&%ejb&%simplistic - rid: 314 oid:
AC ED 00 05 70 ....p
opname: _set_date - invocation: system exception was thrown (org.omg.CORBA.portable.UnknownException: vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: Maybe) ]

I have had consistent problems with this area - has anyone come up against this problem?

Thanks,
JT

JT,

I would recommend you to ask this question in the borland.public.janeva newsgroup. Janeva developers team is very responsive over there.
