    Bug in ServiceDeployerEjb's portURI

    raja05

      I have two webservices defined in a single EJB Jar archive. During deployment, an error pops out saying
      "Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints, check your port-uri in jboss.xml"

      The server console tells me that the webservices are deployed as

      12:18:44,529 INFO [AxisService] WSDD published to: /apps/jboss-4.0.0/server/default/data/wsdl/test-ejb.jar/CEE_TEST.wsdd
      12:18:44,532 INFO [AxisService] Web Service deployed: http://localhost:8080/test-ejb/CEE_TEST
      12:18:44,535 INFO [AxisService] WSDD published to: /apps/jboss-4.0.0/server/default/data/wsdl/test-ejb.jar/RAJA_TEST.wsdd
      12:18:44,537 INFO [AxisService] Web Service deployed: http://localhost:8080/test-ejb/RAJA_TEST
      12:18:44,538 ERROR [ServiceDeployer] Cannot startup webservice for: test-ejb.jar
      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints, check your port-uri in jboss.xml
      at org.jboss.webservice.ServiceDeployerEJB.createWebXML(ServiceDeployerEJB.java:221)
      at org.jboss.webservice.ServiceDeployerEJB.deployWebservices(ServiceDeployerEJB.java:103)
      at org.jboss.webservice.ServiceDeployer.startWebservice(ServiceDeployer.java:203)

      Stepping into the code, it shows that the url-pattern of "/*" is added to the urlPatters array during the first deployment(for CEE_TEST) and it bails out during the second deployment for RAJA_TEST as "/*" is already in the urlPatters array. The corresponding code is

      String urlPattern = "/*";
      
       SessionMetaData ejbMetaData = (SessionMetaData)applMetaData.getBeanByEjbName(ejbLink);
       EjbPortComponentMetaData pcMetaData = ejbMetaData.getPortComponent();
       if (pcMetaData != null && pcMetaData.getPortURI() != null)
       {
       urlPattern = pcMetaData.getPortURI();
       if (!urlPattern.startsWith("/"))
       urlPattern = "/" + urlPattern;
       if (!urlPattern.endsWith("/*"))
       urlPattern = urlPattern + "/*";
       }
      
       if (urlPatters.contains(urlPattern))
       throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints, " +
       "check your port-uri in jboss.xml");
      

      I have nothing defined extra in my jboss.xml so the pcMetaData is always null. Should the check for urlPatters.contains(urlPattern) be not done if urlPattern has a value of "/*".

      Thanks

          Its intended behaviour, not a bug. If you have more than one endpoints, you need to assign individual uri-patterns to them. Otherwise the clients could not distinguish them.

          The error message tells you axactly what to do.

            Thanks for the response. Im still new to WS, sorry if im missing something obvious. There are 2 wsdl files in my jar archive, one of them having a
            <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/ws4ee/services/TestBean"/>
            and another with
            <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/ws4ee/services/CEEBean"/>

            So the endpoint address for both of them are different. Im not sure if jboss is complaining because of this?

              The error message tells you about port-uri in jboss.xml.

              The wsdlsoap:address is irrelevant as this will be overridden anyway at deploy time.

                Actually, i dont have any jboss.xml in my system. The reason i believe this is wrong is that JBoss calcuates the endpoint address based on the name of the archive(xxx in the case of xxx.war) and the value thats in the "webservice-description-name" in webservices.xml. So if i have 2 port-components in a single webservices.xml, JBoss cannot diferentiate between the two as both of them have the same webservice-description-name and also are in the same archive.
                I included a jboss.xml with the port-component-uri to resolve this issue but i dont think i should need to do that.
                If you look at the code fragment posted above(in the actual issue message) i dont have any jboss.xml and so it assumes that the urlPattern which is "/*" and is already stored in the urlPattern array gets repeated for the second webservice.

                I will post a detailed test case once i get to work.

                Thanks for the response

                  Each webservice-description-name needs to be unique in webservices.xml

                    Hi Thomas
                    I have a single webservice-description-name only. this is how my webservices.xml looks like

                    <webservices
                     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
                     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://www.ibm.com/webservices/xsd/j2ee_web_services_1_1.xsd"
                     version="1.1">
                     <webservice-description>
                     <webservice-description-name>CEE_TEST</webservice-description-name>
                     <wsdl-file>META-INF/wsdl/testbean.wsdl</wsdl-file>
                     <port-component>
                     <port-component-name>TestBeanPort</port-component-name>
                     ........
                     </port-component>
                     <port-component>
                     <port-component-name>CEEBeanPort</port-component-name>
                     ........
                     </port-component>
                     </webservice-description>
                    </webservices>
                    

                    Now both these services are packed as a single archive(test-ejb.jar). When there is a single webservice in a archive, jboss calculates it as http://localhost:8080/<archive-name>/<webservice-description-name>?wsdl

                    But in my case, i have 2 services packed in the same archive. So according to the above webservices.xml and my packing style, both of these have the same endpoint addresses and so jboss tells me that i should check the port-component-uri in jboss.xml. The error message is
                    "Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints, check your port-uri in jboss.xml"

                    But I dont have a jboss.xml at all. If i add a jboss.xml with different port-component-uri for the ports then all works fine. But im wondering why is that restriction imposed? Cant jboss get the endpoint using , say, maybe the port name and the archive name instead of the webservice-description-name. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

                        The implementation leverages the requirement that the <webservice-description-name> must be unique among all <webservice-description> elements within a given deployment.

                        It is also true that you can have multiple <port-component> elements within a <webservice-description> where the <port-component-name> must be unique as well.

                        I still favour the current implementation where it is the responsibility of the deployer to explicitly resolve the uniqueness of the multiple service endpoints within one <webservice-description>.

                        Adding <port-component-name> implilcitly to the <webservice-description-name> assumes that the combined path builds a valid URL and I am not a great fan of this.

                        I'll take this issue to the JSR-109 expert group. It is undefined how the endpoint address is built for an EJB endpoint. In contrary to this, for JSE endpoints it *is* defined - you must explicitly set the URL pattern in web.xml.

                          Hi Raja and Thomas

                          I am having the same problem on my project.
                          I didn't understand the solution offered: updating port-uri in jboss.xml

                          I am quite new to JBoss and to JBoss-WS (I dont even know where to put jboss.xml).
                          If you could post an example of jboss.xml and the port-uri elements that solve Raja's problem it would be great - not only for me, but for all of the people which end up in this forum by goolgeling :

                          java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints, check your port-uri in jboss.xml


                          I know, I can check it on my own (google : "jboss.xml port-uri" etc.)
                          but if this thread is so specifiec about this problem and new-users end up here - it would be so good and fair to let us all have a full solution to this problem, and somehow ease the first-step burdens which we all face(d) while learning JBoss (which is truly amazing by its own)

                          After all this is why we call it a forum

                          Thank you very much

                            could some one please explain why this is NOT a Bug?

                            How can't it be a Bug :
                            1. You define 2 web services in webservices.xml
                            2. You define 2 SLSB's in ejb-jar.xml
                            3. You deploy your app.
                            4. It crahes with that wierd message which Raja initially showed...
                            Is this a J2EE 1.4 standard?
                            Why do I need jboss.xml here? what I did was pure J2EE 1.4 compliant
                            Why is there a need for any extension?

                            Please clarify this to the sake of the others

                              If you have 2 endpoints you need 2 URLs, e.g.

                              http://somehost:8080/myservice/bean-one
                              http://somehost:8080/myservice/bean-two

                              With an EJB endpoint there is no standard way of setting up an <url-mapping> as you do with POJO endpoints in web.xml. Thats why we need to do it in a propriatary DD (jboss.xml)

                              jboss.xml is our proprietary extension to ejb-jar.xml and lives right next to it. A good entry point to what you can do with jboss.xml is the dtd, which you find in the jboss-4.0.x/docs folder.

                                All in all, can anyone give me the total solution for this problem.
                                Because I use JBuilder2005EE+JBoss 4.0.3RC1, I must remove the <port-component> node in the JBoss to deploy the ejb-jar.

                                When there's only one ejb with endpoint webserivce , all is ok. But when there're two webservice , then the error happens.
                                "...Cannot use the same url-pattern with different endpoints..."

                                How on the earth should I config the session beans in the jboss.xml ?

                                Can anyone give me one example with two webserivce endpoint ejb?

                                Thanks!

                                  You need to specify a distinct <port-component-uri> for each SLSB. Have a look at jboss_4_0.dtd

                                    Hi Thomas,

                                    Even if you do not accept this as a bug, it is an issue that JBossWS should look into. If you need the port-component-uri to be hardcoded, that's a serious portability issue for the EAR.

                                    Anyway, if the whole point is to get two unique URIs like

                                    http://somehost:8080/myservice/bean-one
                                    http://somehost:8080/myservice/bean-two

                                    then why can't JBoss deployer obtain the names 'bean-one' and 'bean-two' either from webservices.xml (<port-component><port-component-name> element).

                                    Otherwise, what do you expect to be put in a port-component-uri in jboss.xml? I tried something like http://somehost:8080/myservice/bean-one and it failed with the exception that it couldn't understand 8080/... portion. What exactly is expected??

                                    XB
