Spring integration and embeddable EJB3

[jaboj]

HI,

I'm trying to use the spring integration with the embeddable EJB3. How can I make my spring-context available on the JNDI-tree so that this sentence will return an spring wired object:

@Spring(jndiName="myapp", bean="DaoFactory")

This injection work fine when running on the application server, but how can I make it work when running from a standalone java app?

Anyone has an idea?

You have two options:

- you must add Spring deployer into the embeddable EJB3 mix.
And then add SpringInterceptor into ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml (see how this is done in app. server).

- or include jboss-spring-jdk5.jar into classpath and use Spring<Lifecycle|Passivation>Interceptor as EJB3 uses interceptors.
But be sure you deploy/bind your spring-context (BeanFactory or ApplicationContext) under specified jndi name (see @Spring jndiName and SpringInjectionSupport).

HI,

About my first option: I've no clue how to mix the spring deployer into the embeddable EJB3. Anyone?

The second option seems more easy. However, it seems to be difficult to bind a BeanFactory or ApplicationContext in JNDI, because they're not Serializable. I've tried to use the SpringBeanFactoryDeployerImpl class in the spring-deployer jars, but without luck.

How can I from my standalone environment load the spring ApplicationContext or BeanFactory?

For the 2nd option:
look at NonSerializableFactory.rebind(ctx, name, beanFactory);

HI,

YES ITS WORKING!. Just the method I needed!

Actually both options it working (with or without the SpringLifecycleInterceptor), after I mixed the spring-deployer into the embeddable EJB3.

Thank you very much, especially for your very fast answers.
