java:comp/env not found in @service POJO bean

[steeven]

I'm trying to use Service POJO bean ( jboss extension of EJB3), but I found that PersitentUnit was not found!

@Service(name = MyService.SERVICE_NAME)
@Management(IMyService.class)
//@PersistenceContext(name="em") not work too
public class MyService implements IMyService {
 public final static String SERVICE_NAME = "MyService";
 @PersistenceContext()
 private EntityManager em;
 public void create() throws Exception {
 log.info("Ems created");
 }

 @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
 public void start() throws Exception {
 log.info("Ems started");
 //em.xxx this line worked
 new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/em") not work.
 }
}

ExceptioN:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: env not bound

I'm retrieving EnityManager from some util class, that nest called in other class, it will be great trouble to pass em inside.

Why no Enc in service POJO? any work around?

Please post the entire exception stacktrace and also the piece of client code which gets hold of the service.

This exception happened in Service POJO start() method, no client code.

An interesting thing: if an EJB is invoked first, new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/em") will work without exception.

Which exact version of JBoss AS is this? Use our latest EJB3 plugin http://www.jboss.org/ejb3/ejb3plugin.html against JBoss AS 5.1.0 and try it out.

The latest plugin can be downloaded from here http://www.jboss.org/ejb3/downloads.html

[grdzeli_kaci]

which as are you using ?
i can give you my full working example.
1. Management Interface:

@Management
public interface CommonServiceMan {
 void create() throws SomeMyException;
 void start() throws SomeMyException;
 void stop() throws SomeMyException;
 void destroy() throws SomeMyException;
}

2.Remote Interface

@Remote
public interface CommonServiceInt {
 public String testMethod(String name) throws SomeMyException;
}

3.Implementation

@Remote(CommonServiceInt.class)
@Service(objectName = "jboss:custom=CommonServiceBean")
public class CommonServiceBean implements CommonServiceInt,
 CommonServiceMan {
 public String testMethod(String name) throws SomeMyException{
 System.out.println("my test method call");
 return "Hello : "+name;
 }
 public void create() throws SomeMyException {
 System.out.println("Create method ....") ;
 }
 public void start() throws SomeMyException {
 System.out.println("Start method ....") ;
 }
 public void stop() throws SomeMyException {
 System.out.println("Stop method ....") ;
 }
 public void destroy() throws SomeMyException {
 System.out.println("Destroy method ....") ;
 }
}

This example is working fine for me.
I test it on jboss as 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 5.1.0 (i use each one for different projects.)

sorry i missed EntityManager declaration into implementation.

@PersistenceContext(unitName = "CustomerCareOracle")
private EntityManager oracleManager;

[steeven]

Thanks you guys all, I'm using AS5.1.0

This code work for me, but try to invoke some method to oracleManager, exception with raise out.

[grdzeli_kaci]

ok, then you must update latest ejb 3 plugin.
link is posted above.

I use this code into my application on jboss 5.1.0.GA with have no any problem.

grdzeli_kaci,

Thanks very much~
Are you sure oracleManager worked in start() method?

yes of course,
It is very useful pattern.
Singleton service is very useful for me.
I load 90 % of database table into memory, because it contains maximum 100 rows each table, these table are configuration table, i have no transaction table into memory only.

i load all table in start method, and then if i change something into database, i'll make reload concrete table(s) or row.


I'll be very glad that into ejb 3.1 will be singleton service, because now my projects is application server dependent, you know that @Service is jboss ejb3 extension.

Thanks very much, I'll try to ask EJB to do load data instead of invoking EnityManager directly.

[steeven]

Thanks, I will try to call @EJB instead of EntityManager to avoid this problem. really appreciated.
