JBoss 4.2 ejb not bound

[_steph]

Hi,

My JEE app contains a simple ejb session. When I deploy the EAR on JBoss the console says:

[EjbModule] Deploying Calc
00:46:30,578 INFO [BaseLocalProxyFactory] Bound EJB LocalHome 'Calc' to jndi 'env/ejb/CalcLocalHome'
00:46:30,578 INFO [ProxyFactory] Bound EJB Home 'Calc' to jndi 'env/ejb/CalcHome'

But when I try a lookup I get an ejb not bound exception. And my ejb is not listed in the JNDiView:

Ejb Module: Calc.jar

java:comp namespace of the Calc bean:

+- env


So, it is not bind. I do not understand.

Could someone help please?

Without looking at your configuration files and the EJB/lookup code, i am just guessing that your bean is bound to the Global JNDI namespace, by the jndi name "env/ejb/CalcHome" (the remote home) and "env/ejb/CalcLocalHome" (for the local home). So if you are looking up the remote interface then your lookup code should look like:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
//remote bean lookup
Object obj = ctx.lookup("env/ejb/CalcHome");
CalcHome home = (CalcHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,CalcHome.class);
//create the remote bean
bean = home.create();

Thank you for your reply Jaikiran.


Configuration files and lookup code are generated with Xdoclet 1.2.3.

Bean Xdoclet tags:

* @ejb.bean name="Calc" description="An EJB named Calc" display-name="Calc"
* view-type="both" jndi-name="CalcHome" local-jndi-name =
* "CalcLocalHome" type="Stateless" transaction-type="Container"
*
*
* @ejb.util generate="logical"
*
* @ejb.home package="calc.interfaces"
*
*

generated ejb-jar.xml file:

<display-name>Calc</display-name>

<enterprise-beans>

<!-- Session Beans -->

<![CDATA[An EJB named Calc]]>

calc.ejb.CalcLocal
<ejb-class>calc.ejb.CalcSession</ejb-class>

...

</ejb-jar>

Server log when I deploy the app:

So the session bean is supposed to be bound to jndi his names.
But in the JNDIView.list() result there is no Calc bean. It's not deployed

...
Ejb Module: Calc.jar

java:comp namespace of the Calc bean:

+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
...

For me it's a jboss bug and the jboss log is erroneous. The lookup code generated by Xdoclet too, I tried your sample lookup code with same result.

Stephane.

[jaikiran]

<jndi-name>CalcHome</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>CalcLocalHome</local-jndi-name>

02:52:22,390 INFO [BaseLocalProxyFactory] Bound EJB LocalHome 'Calc' to jndi 'CalcLocalHome'
02:52:22,406 INFO [ProxyFactory] Bound EJB Home 'Calc' to jndi 'CalcHome'

Your EJB is deployed and bound to the JNDI name CalcHome for the remote interface and CalcLocalHome for the local interface in the *global jndi namespace*.

So your lookup should look like:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
//remote home lookup
Object obj = ctx.lookup("CalcHome");
CalcHome home = (CalcHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,CalcHome.class);
//create the remote bean
bean = home.create();

For local interface

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
//local home lookup
Object obj = ctx.lookup("CalcLocalHome");
CalcLocalHome localhome = (CalcLocalHome) obj;
//create the local bean
bean = localhome.create();

[_steph]

My lookup is generated by Xdoclet and is correct.
But anyway the bean should be listed in the JndiVew of the JBoss Console and it is not. I don't know why.

[_steph]

I mean that the bean is not deployed. I do not know why.

[jaikiran]

Going by the log messages that you posted, i am confident that the bean is being deployed. You are looking in the wrong jndi namespace for your bean. Do the following:

- Go to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console
- On the page that comes up, search for service=JNDIView
- Click on that
- On the page that comes up click on the Invoke button beside the list() method
- The next page will contain the JNDI tree view. Post it here. You will find your bean under the "Global JNDI namespace" on that page.

The only trace of deployement is:

It does not seem to be correct.

There is this in the log:

Does it meen that the lookup is done on something like "ejb" and not CalcHome?

[jaikiran]

+- CalcHome (proxy: $Proxy85 implements interface calc.interfaces.CalcHome,interface javax.ejb.Handle)

The JNDI view that you posted shows that your EJB has been bound with the jndi name CalcHome in the global jndi namespace. So your lookup should be like:

ctx.lookup("CalcHome");

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not bound
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:529)

Yes, it means that the lookup code is using the jndi name which contains "ejb" as part of the lookup string (which is wrong because the lookup string should be "CalcHome")

[_steph]

In debug mode I verified that the InitialContext.lookUp(..) is done on "java:comp/env/ejb/Calc" it's correct and it seems to confirm that the ejb is not deployed correctly. I do not understand why.

_steph, As we already saw in the JNDI tree view that you posted, then bean is not bound by java:comp/env/ejb/Calc. So using that name in the lookup is incorrect. But i think i understand what you are saying, you want to continue using that lookup string and be able to successfully lookup the bean. Is that correct? If yes, then you will have to modify the web.xml and jboss-web.xml to include the following (in addition to what you already have in them)

web.xml:

<web-app>
...... all your existing stuff here
<ejb-ref>
 <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Calc</ejb-ref-name>
 <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
 <home>calc.interfaces.CalcHome</home>
 <remote>calc.ejb.Calc</remote>
 </ejb-ref>
</web-app>

jboss-web.xml:

<jboss-web>
...all your existing stuff here
<ejb-ref>
 <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Calc</ejb-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>CalcHome</jndi-name>
 </ejb-ref>
</jboss-web>

Once you add these to your web.xml and jboss-web.xml, you will be able to lookup the bean using java:comp/env/ejb/Calc. This lookup string is going to return you the remote interface of your bean.

[jaikiran]

And please restart the server after these changes.

[nik...]

Hi jaikiran,

How can I change my auto generated interface to search bean in global jndi name space.
