EJB 3.1 Global JNDI names

[icordoba]

Hello,
I am testing on JBoss 6 some of the new EJB3.1 features. On JNDIView in JMX Console I see that I am getting the same JNDI naming as with JBoss 5.1
Do I have to make any changes in JBoss or in any xml deployment description to make a ear or war file be recognized as EJB 3.1 and so get then Global JNDI standarized naming?
(As explained in http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=EJB3-1Maturity for example)

Thanks for any help,
Ignacio

JBoss 6.0.0.M1 does not have EJB3.1

[mpscholz]

As far as I can see, M2 neither doesn't support the EJB 3.1 standard for global JNDI names

(java:global[/<app-name>]/<module-name>/<bean-name>), right?

Is there a roadmap yet which milestone of JBoss 6 is going to implement that?

[jaikiran]

JBoss AS 6.0.0 M3 will have that. M3 release activities are in progress and will be available this month (that's the plan). If you want to test it out before M3 is released, then you can download the latest nightly build of AS trunk from here  http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/JBoss-AS-6.0.x/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/JBossAS_6_0/build/target/jboss-6.0.x.zip

Thanks.

That's encouraging to hear.

Looks like this didn't make it into M3 eventually, did it?

AFAIK, some part of global JNDI namespace did make it to M3. You will see the java:global namespace in the JNDI (although I haven't completely checked what part made it).

The 3.1 spec defines portable global JNDI names, by which remote session beans are exposed to remote clients, following this syntax:

java:global[/<app-name>]/<module-name>/<bean-name>[!<fully-qualified-interface-name>]

As far as I can see (please correct me if Iam wrong), the JBoss 6 M3 EJB container does not expose these names yet, but still the <bean-name>/remote ones only.

The last time I checked on JBoss AS trunk (before M3), I kind of remember seeing java:global namespace in jmx-console JNDI view. Let me give it a try on M3 and see whether it's available.

I have now tried M4 and I can't find any global jndi names according to the new standard in jndiview.

I can se there is a section named "Global jndi names" but the names are still according the old <bean-name>/remote.

Do i need to do some configuration to get it to work?

Sorry, I did not notice your post earlier.

EJB3.1 Global JNDI names in AS 6 isn't yet completely available. We have plans to have it ready by 6.0.0.CR1 http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-development/2010-September/016606.html

[jaikiran]

The current AS trunk (SNAPSHOT) has support for EJB3.1 JNDI names. If some one wants to give it a try (and report any issues), then you can download it from here https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20AS/job/JBoss-AS-6.0.x/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/JBossAS_6_0/build/target/jboss-6.0.x.zip

Any issues/questions can be reported  in our EJB3 user forum here http://community.jboss.org/community/ejb3

This is now available in the recently released 6.0.0 CR1 http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads.html

Hi jaikiran,

I'm trying the new capabilities of the JavaEE6 specification with JBoss-6.0.0.Final. 

One of the great thing for me ist the topic that's discussed in this thread.

But this feature don't work in the final relaese. If I deploy MyApp I get old style JNDI mapping like:

16:58:59,884 INFO  [AbstractNoInterfaceViewBinder] Binding the following entry in Global JNDI for bean:ManagmentBean

    MyApp/ManagmentBean/no-interface -> EJB3.1 no-interface view

16:58:59,900 INFO  [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:

    MyApp/UserBean/remote - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface

     MyApp/UserBean/remote-my.company.business.interfaces.UserBeanRemote - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface

And if I do a lookup with java:global I get an Exception like:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: global not bound

I didn't change any configuration from JBoss.

So I'm very desperate. What I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks.

I'm also surprised about this... The java:global namespace does not exist.

Is there anything which can be configured or this is a bug in JBoss 6.0.0?
