Integrating Seam with EJB container

[maek1975]

Hi

I have two modules, a web-module and an ejb-module. In the web-module I have some @Stateless annotated Action classes. In the ejb-module I have a number of stateless session beans etc. I also have a j2ee-module that used for deployment.

The problem is that JBOSS finds and registers/starts my ejb's that resides under the ejb-module, but not those actions that resides under web-module. How do I tell JBoss to look for @Stateless under the web-module as well.

In the ejb-module (under meta-inf), I have ejb-jar.xml, persistendce.xml etc.

My ejb jar looks like the following:
<ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">



<interceptor-class>org.jboss.seam.ejb.SeamInterceptor</interceptor-class>



<assembly-descriptor>
<interceptor-binding>
<ejb-name>*</ejb-name>
<interceptor-class>org.jboss.seam.ejb.SeamInterceptor</interceptor-class>
</interceptor-binding>
</assembly-descriptor>

</ejb-jar>



In the web-module (under web-inf), I have components.xml, faces-config.xml, web.xml etc.

components.xml:



true
#{ejbName}/local



<!-- half second wait for conversation lock on concurrent requests -->
500
<!-- 120 second conversation timeout -->
120000
cid
clr


<!--

/main.xhtml

-->





faces-config.xml:

<faces-config>
<!-- Phase listener needed for all Seam applications -->


<phase-listener>org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener</phase-listener>


</faces-config>



web.xml:

<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

<!-- Seam -->


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


<!-- MyFaces -->


<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>


<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>client</param-value>
</context-param>

<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.DEVELOPMENT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>


<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>


<!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<!-- JSP -->
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<is-xml>true</is-xml>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>

</web-app>



In j2ee-application-module, under meta-inf, I have the application.xml which contains:

<display-name>Ratten</display-name>

RattenBusiness.jar



<web-uri>RattenWeb.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/</context-root>





I also have an empty jboss-app.xml.

[maek1975]

the components.xml contains the row:
TheNameOfMyEar/#{ejbName}/local

[gavin.king]

Right, session beans have to go in ejb jars according to the java ee 5 spec, not in wars.

[maek1975]

ok thanks.

I moved my action classes (ie seam components defined in component.xml as MyEarApp/#{ejbName}/local) into the ejb-module, the component is now found/started by the jboss ejb container.

I can access the session beans like this: ctx.lookup("MyEarApp/MyEJB/local") from a jsp-file.

But when trying to load a .jsp/seam file containg seam specific code (the file is identical to seamInstallDir/examples/registration/register.jsp), the only things that are displayed is text, nighter the corresponding textfields nor the register-button.

My question is then, are there any jars that i MIGHT BE MISSING OR IS it really possible to have the component.xml and faces-config.xml residing under web-inf in my war-file. Ie. should I move these into my ejb-jar (meta-inf)?
