    Packaging question

      Hello,

      I have a question regarding the packaging (not very sure if I am on the right forum ;-))

      I have a EAR with severals EJB's (Sessions and Entities) + WebApplication. On the other hand, I have a brand new seam application that need to access EJB contained in the first EAR.

      How can I package my seam application to access the ejb's contained in the other ear ? (I want to avoid changing the existing EAR).

      Thanks for your advices.

          Seam doesn't have a notion of an external component yet. You'll have to rely on normal lookup methods (JNDI or EJB3 injection) to grab them.

            I need to do the same thing, but I'm having problems doing the latter, i.e. JNDI lookup method.

            I have an EJB3 app in one ear, and a new Seam app in the second. I need to access an EJB in the first ear, but I'm getting ClassCastExceptions. Here are the EAR structures:

            app1.ear
 +-- META-INF/application.xml
 +-- lib
 - app1-client.jar
 - app1-lib.jar
 - app1-persistence.jar
 - app1-util.jar
 - app1-ejb3.jar



            app2.ear
 +-- META-INF
 - application.xml
 - jboss-app.xml
 +-- app2.war
 - META-INF/Manifest.mf
 +-- WEB-INF
 +-- lib
 - app1-lib.jar
 - icefaces*.jar
 - jboss-seam-ui.jar
 - jboss-seam-debug.jar
 - jsf-facelets.jar
 - oscache-2.3.2.jar
 - components.xml
 - faces-config.xml
 - navigation.xml
 - pages.xml
 - web.xml
 - app2.jar
 - app1-client.jar
 - app1-lib.jar
 - app1-util.jar
 - el-api.jar
 - el-ri.jar
 - jboss-seam.jar


            I'm trying to do what I think is a simple JNDI lookup of an EJB in app1.ear. 
            private Project getProjectBean() throws Exception
{
 Project p;
 Context ctx = new InitialContext();
 ctx.addToEnvironment("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 ctx.addToEnvironment("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
 Project proj=null;
 String jndiName = ClientStub.EJB_JNDI_PREFIX_PROJECT+"local";
 try {
 logger.info("Looking up "+jndiName+".");
 proj = (Project) ctx.lookup(jndiName);
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 return proj;
}


            I'm getting the following ClassCastException, but I can't figure out where $Proxy1357 is coming from. It doesn't show up in my JNDI list() through the JMX console.

              1) JBoss seam 1.1 GA
              2) JBoss AS 4.0.5 GA (ejb3 config)
              3) ICEFaces (as shipped w/ Seam)
              4) JBoss Cache 1.3
              5) Windoze XP

              I also tried EJB injection, with similar results.

                It looks to me like you have the Project.class in both EAR files. JBoss is giving you an instance of Project that has a class definition loaded from a different classloader than the Project you are trying to cast to. My first suggestion for fixing that would be to not bundle any of the app1-*.*ar archives in app2. (be careful to make sure app1 deploys before app2)

                That *should* solve the problem. Assuming it does, then we can talk about other ways to package your apps if you want to do something different.

                  I could swear I started that way! Alas, it works like a charm, even with EJB injection.

                  I'm very happy with this method of packaging. I'm even able to add Seam annotations to the entities in app1.ear in the component.xml of app2.war, so app1.ear still has no dependencies on Seam. Perfect!

                  Many thanks,

                    The best/only way I found to enforce the specific EAR deployment order upon JBoss AS startup was to implement my own DeploymentSorter, similar to PrefixDeploymentSorter: 

                    public class MyDeploymentSorter extends DeploymentSorter implements Comparator
{
 ...
 public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {

 URL url1=(URL) o1;
 URL url2=(URL) o2;

 if( (url1.toString()).contains("app1.ear") && (url2.toString()).contains("app2.ear") ) {
 return -1;
 }
 if( (url2.toString()).contains("app1.ear") && (url1.toString()).contains("app2.ear") ) {
 return 1;
 }
 return super.compare(url1, url2);
 }
}


                    Then, obviously, I configure conf/jboss-service.xml to use my deployment sorter: 
                    <attribute name="URLComparator">org.fqn.MyDeploymentSorter</attribute>


                    Is there another way to do this? I burned up some hours on this, mainly because I couldn't let go of the expectation that deployment ordering should be automatic if there are dependencies (e.g., app2.ear contains an EJB that depends on an EJB in app1.ear), OR that there must be some way to specify deployment ordering in a deployment descriptor. Unless I've missed something, there isn't, but MyDeploymentSorter does what I want. Sorry if I'm getting off-topic.

                    Cheers,

                      If you are flexible with your naming, PrefixDeploymentSorter (see http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=URLComparator) seems to work pretty well. Did it not work well for you?

                        I'm sure it would work as expected, I just don't want to be flexible with naming. :-) Sorry, I should have said that from the start.

                        Is there anything wrong with MyDeploymentSorter approach?

                        Thanks,

                          Nope - other than being kind of inflexible when you want to deploy app3.ear.
