How can I change the default ejb3 jndi name?

[inacio-silva]

How can I change the default ejb3 jndi name?I wanna override ear-name/ejb-name/remote pattern.

I'd like to keep the ear's version in the file name. Example: customers-3.1.0.ear, but when I upgrade the ear I don't wanna change the ejb jndi name.

Please Help!

Which version of JBoss AS?

For AS5.x and later, see this http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/docs/tutorial/1.0.7/html/JNDI_Bindings.html

For AS4.x, see this http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/docs/tutorial/jndibinding/jndi.html

Thank you for your answer.

My Jboss is 4.2.2

I haven't found the RemoteBinding.class in my server. What jar must I have in my classpath's program in order to use that class?

Thank you again!

[jaikiran]

For AS4.x it's in JBOSS_HOME/server/< servername>/deploy/ejb3.deployer/jboss-annotations-ejb3.jar

[inacio-silva]

It worked! Great!

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Using your link for AS 5, it still does not work for me

I used

@Stateless
@LocalBinding (jndiBinding="MyService/MyOwnName")

but I still do not manage to change the default JNDI name for my bean.

Any idea?

I am using JBoss 5.1 AS.

Thanks

For AS5 you should be using @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.LocalBinding annotation. I guess you are using the wrong package name for that annotation. The annotation can be found in JBOSS_HOME/client/jboss-ejb3-ext-api.jar

Jaikiran, you are a life saver!

Now it is working

Thanks a bunch!

I have a kind of similar problem. I would like to include a version number in the jndi path like this: ear-name-V0-0/ejb-name/remote. In jboss 5.1 the first part of the jndi-name is taken from the ear-file being deployed. Is it possible to use something else then the name of the ear-file name (I would not like the ear file to be named ear-name-V0-0.ear). I would not like to use @LocalBinding at each ejb since it would then have to include the version number at each ejb. The only implementation I can figure out is to add an jboss.xml for each ejb module and include bindings for each bean (at build time). But I would prefer only to have the version number at one place. Any ideas.

Hello,

I am using JBOSS EAP 6.1.. and in that @LocalBinding don't work.

I need to define default JNDI name in order to remove version number from JNDI names.

Please let me know for JBOSS EAP 6.1

That can be controlled through the use of application.xml and/or web.xml and/or ejb-jar.xml in a portable way. What do those descriptor files look like and what do the current JNDI names look like?

[mittal.rohit469]

Actually, there is jboss-ejb3.xml for JBOSS EAP 6.1... in which we specify

<session>

  <ejb-name>BEAN_NAME</ejb-name>

  </session>

I also tried using <mapped-name> but it doesn't worked.

Currently, the JBOSS generates it's own JNDI names in the format:

ejb:EJB_EAR_NAME_WITH_VERSION_NUMBER/EJB3_PROJECT_NAME_WITH_VERSION_NUMBER/BEAN_NAME!REMOTE_CLASS_NAME_WITH_FULL_PACKAGE_PATH

I need to define default JNDI name in order to remove the version number from EAR and PROJECT names.

You don't need jboss-ejb3.xml for that. For changing the application name (which by default is the .ear name in case of ear files), add the following to your application.xml:

<application>
<!-- Replace foo with the name of your application -->
<application-name>foo</application-name>

and to change the EJB module's name, in your ejb-jar.xml add the following:

<ejb-jar>
  <!-- Replace bar with the name of your module -->
  <module-name>bar</module-name>

Check the relevant xsds for more details.

thanks Jaikiran for the response...

I checked my application.xml :

<application>

<display-name>EAR_NAME_WITHOUT_VERSION_NUMBER</display-name>

  <module>

    <ejb>EJB3_PROJECT_NAME_WITH_VERSION.jar</ejb>

  </module>

</application>

Here if i remove version number then this ejb3 project is not deployed...

Also, we don't use ejb-jar.xml.... instead there is jboss-ejb3.xml...in which there is no module name

Is there something which i am missing?

[jaikiran]

That's not what I meant. Take a look at my previous reply. It uses application-name in application.xml (not display-name) and it doesn't change anything with the <ejb> element value.

If you aren't packaging a ejb-jar.xml, then add one to the deployment with just the ejb-jar element and module-name as the child element.
