s:convertEntity doesn't work when entities are in separated jar

phant Feb 26, 2008 7:49 AM

I've a jar containing all entity classes, this jar is deployed inside application ear and is declared inside application.xml as ejb module.

The web app works fine when uses entities in both facelets and action.
When I need to populate a combobox I use s:convertEntity.
The combo is populated correctly but when I submit the request I received the error shown below.
The problem seems related to separated jar, the entities are not found from s:convertEntity.
If I unzip jar and put classes inside the main jar directory (the jar created by seam-gen and build) the s:convertEntity works.
How can I use a separated jar and have s:convertEntity work properly?

The code filling the combo

<h:selectOneMenu id="nazioni"
    value="#{ricercaLuogoNascita.nazione}">
    <s:selectItems
        var="i"
        value="#{ricercaLuogoNascita.listNazioni}"
        label="#{i.descrizione}"
        noSelectionLabel=""/>
    <s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton
    styleClass="searchButton"
    type="submit"
    id="btn1"
    value="Cerca"
    action="#{ricercaLuogoNascita.findCitta}" />

The entity declaration

@Entity
@Name("nazione")
@Table(name = "TB_NAZIONI")
public class Nazione implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @Column(name = "COD_NAZIONE", length = 6)
    private String codiceNazione;
    
    @Column(name = "DESCRIZIONE", nullable = false, length = 50)
    private String descrizione;

    ...    
}

The stacktrace

I don't know if it's helpful but there are some classloading articles on the JBoss Wiki. I must confess that most of the classloading is a black box for me, should read up on it.

We use ears exclusively, so lets see what I can do to help.

If you have any jars deployed in the WAR's WEB-INF/lib, they will likely not be allowed to load classes from a jar that is in the EAR. Do you have libraries in the WAR's WEB-INF/lib?

If you don't, the next thing is to make sure that the WAR is allowed to access classes in the EAR's other jars. Do you have a MANIFEST.MF in your WAR's META-INF folder? If so, does it have Class-Path entries?

For instance, here is an example of a WAR MANIFEST.MF from Seam 1.2.1.GA

Hi,

I have META-INF/MANIFEST.MF into WAR it contains only the classpath to the entity.jar but error isn't changed.

My ear directory structure

app.ear - app.jar - entity.jar (contains classes not found from s:convertEntity) - META-INF (application.xml with entity.jar declared as ejb module) - app.war + META-INF + MANIFEST.MF (contains classpath to entity.jar)

If I add app.jar in classpath the error changes (below the stacktrace Could not enlist in transaction on entering meta-aware object! org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection

the complete error stacktrace is shown below, it's so long that I've cutted it but the error is clear from first lines

8. Re: s:convertEntity doesn't work when entities are in separated jar

You appear to be using an XA data source. Can you try without an XA data source to eliminate XA as a possible problem?

Continue to generate error.

I've remove convertEntity usage from my application, the next expensive step consists to remove seam...

Seam builds a default project assuming that all your EJBs are in a single jar.

You can add secondary ejb jars in persistence.xml file :

<persistence-unit name="XXprojmanager"> <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> <jta-data-source>java:/jdbc/xxdbname</jta-data-source> <*jar-file*>../yyproj-ejb.jar</jar-file> <jar-file>../zzproj-ejb.jar</jar-file>
