SEAM Embedded EJB Tomcat 5.5

[manuel.gentile]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy the embeddable ejb and JBoss Seam on tomcat 5.5.

I add

<listener-class>org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.ServletBootstrapListener</listener-class>


in web.xml

and this is my seam.properties

#org.jboss.seam.core.init.componentClasses org.jboss.seam.core.Ejb
org.jboss.seam.core.init.componentClasses = org.jboss.seam.core.Microcontainer
# Seam manages a Hibernate Session (set PhaseListener in faces-config.xml for strategy)
org.jboss.seam.init.managedPersistenceContexts = bookingDatabase
#bookingDatabase.persistenceUnitName = java:/EntityManagerFactories/bookingData
# Conversation timeout (in milliseconds)
org.jboss.seam.core.manager.conversationTimeout = 120000
# Store Conversation state in serialized form on the client (needs bugfix in Hibernate)
#org.jboss.seam.core.init.clientSideConversations = true
# Seam bootstraps the JBoss Microcontainer
#org.jboss.seam.core.init.componentClasses = org.jboss.seam.core.Microcontainer
# JNDI settings to access the JBoss Microcontainer registry
seam.jndi.java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
seam.jndi.java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

but i have this error

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ....Login not bound
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:516)

...
Can we have a complete example of use Embeddable EJB , Seam on Tomcat 5.5?

Thanks

checkout jboss-seam-head from :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/jboss

examples/noejb has a working deployable-to-tomcat example. Be sure to use the build.tomcat.xml buildfile.

I have problem with Embeddable EJB on tomcat, and no problem with noejb version. I want to use Seam Application with EJB on Tomcat 5.5.
Any solution?

[theute]

Do you have:

<listener-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener</listener-class>

in web.xml ?

[marius.oancea]

IMHO is not possible to use EJB simply on Tomcat 5.5 because tomcat is not a real enterprise container. Either use seam without EJB (as in noejb) either install jboss

[gavin.king]

It is a little bit tricky to configure Embeddable EJB3 on Tomcat because of Tomcat's readonly JNDI. However, Thomas did get it working and we will try to have an example app for this ASAP.

It might slip from the December release however, simply due to the other work we need to get finished.

[christian.bauer]

It's actually quite straightforward. Replace the /noejb/ configuration files and libraries with the embeddable EJB 3.0 container configuration and libraries. Tomcat JNDI doesn't have to be touched at all, the webapp has its own JNDI context (jndi.properties). You can deploy the TestNG example I wrote about here in Tomcat with a few tweaks, and then run Seam stuff on it: http://blog.hibernate.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/2005/11/24#ejb3withtestng

[matthew.edwards]

I have setup JSF MyFaces, EJB3, Seam and Tomcat 5.5. It is almost working. I think that I have everything working except the EJB3.

When my application goes to look up something within my EJB3 jar, I get the following error:

Can anyone tell me what could be causing this error?

Cheers.

[gavin.king]

Looks like a JNDI issue. You need to be doing the lookup for the UT using JBoss JNDI provider, not the Tomcat built-in JNDI.

[matthew.edwards]

I haven't been able to figure out how to do the "lookup for the UT using JBoss JNDI provider." Do I need to put it into my Java classes, or do I need a jndi.properties file?

If it is the latter (jndi.properties) could someone give me a hint about what should go in that file and where I should place that file?

again, cheers.

[theute]

Add this to your seam.properties files:

# JNDI settings to access the JBoss Microcontainer registry
seam.jndi.java.naming.factory.initial = org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
seam.jndi.java.naming.factory.url.pkgs = org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

Now I am getting this error:

Do I need these properties in my seam.properties file also:

org.jboss.seam.init.componentClasses org.jboss.seam.core.Ejb

org.jboss.seam.init.managedPersistenceContexts defaultDatabase
defaultDatabase.persistenceUnitName java:/EntityManagerFactories/DefaultEntityManager

When I start Tomcat I get the following line in the log file:

Thanks for your help.

I have been fiddeling with this Tomcat - Seam - EJB - Facelets/JSF configuration all weekend and I still can't get it right. I have another error that I don't understand, but I think this one is probrably an easy one (Ik heb niet voor een paar dagen geslapen.)

Could someone help me on this one?

I am trying to put together a manuel about setting up Seam projects on the JBoss server and the Tomcat server. It is for an english term project I need to do. I have most if it written---just not the tomcat part of it. I have about 2 more days to finish. Any information on Tomcat setup would be awesome.

[starksm64]

You need to track down why the session has been invalidated and subsequently used. An invalidated session is completely unsuable so all references to it need to be cleared before its invalidated.

[gavin.king]

This exception would usually occur because the session has been invalidated by calling HttpSession.invalidate() instead of Seam.invalidateSession(). You should not call HttpSession.invalidate() directly when using Seam.
