ejb3 embeddable alpha 4 microcontainer deployment

dunks80 Feb 1, 2006 10:57 AM

I was wondering has anyone gotten the the micorcontainer deployment example (boss-EJB-3.0_Embeddable_ALPHA_4/docs/embedded-tutorial/advanced-deployment/microcontainer-deployment) to work? My tests started failing after i moved from alph3 to alph4 so i decided to check the example and it's failing with the same error...

I get the same exception when i try to deploy my own persistence units. Debugging through the code it seems that the kernel and server attribute of the org.jboss.ejb3.MCKernelAbstraction are never being set and so the call to kernel.getController().install(bean); bombs. Anyone have any ideas how this can be fixed? I"m not sure if it's a bug or simply a configuration issue.

Thanks

I managed to fix this issue by extending org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.EJB3StandaloneDeployer and adding the following constructor...

public class MyEJB3StandaloneDeployer extends org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.EJB3StandaloneDeployer
{
 public MyEJB3StandaloneDeployer()
 {
 super();
 setKernel(EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.getKernel());
 }

}

Then in my ejb3-deployment.xml I mapped my deployments as follows...

 <bean name="EJBDeployment" class="MyEJB3StandaloneDeployer">
 <property name="jndiProperties"><inject bean="InitialContextProperties"/></property>
 <property name="archives" >
 <set class="java.util.HashSet" elementClass="java.net.URL">
 <value>file://my.peristence.jar</value>
 </set>
 </property>
 </bean>

This way i could continue to book embedded ejb3 with the following code...

...
 EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.boot(null);
EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.deployXmlResource("ejb3-deployment.xml");
...

I'm now facing another issue when deploying in the micorcontainer. My ejbs are not being mapped to 'ejbName/local' as I would expect but rather just 'ejbName'

Nevermind the jndi issue was my own fault
