Call Back Listeners not working - Please help

[gurubbc]

EJB 3.0 Call Back methods are working, but the listeners are not working.

ListenerHelloCallBack.java (Interface)
/**
* This is the ListenerHelloCallBack business interface.
*/

public interface ListenerHelloCallBack {

/**
* @return a greeting to the client.
*/
public String listenerHelloCallBack();
}


Bean class:
import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.ejb.*;

/**
* Demonstration stateless session bean.
*/
@Stateful
@Remote(ListenerHelloCallBack.class)
@CallbackListener(CallBackListener.class)
public class ListenerHelloCallBackBean implements ListenerHelloCallBack {
public String listenerHelloCallBack() {
System.out.println("listenerHelloCallBack()");
return "Hello, Call Back Listener World!";
}
}

Call Back Listener class:

import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.ejb.*;

public class CallBackListener {

@Init
public void sayInit(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("This would be called upon Init from listener class");
}

@PostConstruct
public void sayPostConstruct(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("This would be called upon post construct from listener class");
}


@PreDestroy
public void sayPreDestroy(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("This would be called upon pre destroy from listener class");
}

@PrePassivate
public void sayPrePassivate(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("This would be called upon pre passivate from listener class");
}

@PostActivate
public void sayPostActivate(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("This would be called upon post activate from listener class");
}

public void finalize()
{
System.out.println("Finalize method is getting called...");
}
}


Client:

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;


/**
* This class is an example of client code which invokes
* methods on a simple, remote stateless session bean.
*/
public class ListenerHelloCallBackClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
/*
* Obtain the JNDI initial context.
*
* The initial context is a starting point for
* connecting to a JNDI tree. We choose our JNDI
* driver, the network location of the server, etc
* by passing in the environment properties.
*/

Properties p = new Properties();

//The JNDI properties you set depend
//on which server you are using.
//These properties are for the Remote Server.
p.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");
p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming rg.jnp.interfaces");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);


/*
* Get a reference to a bean instance, looked up by class name
*/
ListenerHelloCallBack listenerHelloCallBack = (ListenerHelloCallBack) ctx.lookup("ListenerHelloCallBack");


/*
* Call the helloCallBack() method on the bean.
* We then print the result to the screen.
*/
System.out.println(listenerHelloCallBack.listenerHelloCallBack());
listenerHelloCallBack=null;

}
}


But, none of the call back methods like @init, @postconstruct are working.

Please help.

Thanks,

there are some mistakes in u r code... there is nothing like @callbackfilter annotation present in api. we have to use @Intercepters annotation which takes u r lister class file as i/p. and also the life cycle lister methods shoud be given with InvocationContext object as perameter to the methods which are using annoations like postcreate,..etc . And also one thing, we should not use @Init in the context of ejb3.0 session beans(message also) bcos they dont have any home objects to call ejbcreate method. ur code works fine after these modications in my machine.

I have done as you said. I have include @Interceptors instead of @CallbackListener annotation.

I have removed @Init also.

This time also, I did not find any call back methods getting fired. Why? This is a stateful session bean.
