Trouble with WebRemote seam 2.1

[mhiggins.matt.smartdestinations.com]

I have a very simple example that I can't get to work any help would be great.

I have the following class and interfaces


The interface

package com.vo.pt.session;

import javax.ejb.Local;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.remoting.WebRemote;

@Local
public interface Ajax {

        @WebRemote
        String sayHello();
}


The impl


package com.vo.pt.session;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
@Name("ajaxTest")
public class AjaxImpl implements Ajax {

        public String sayHello(){
                return "HEllo";
        }
       
}

   <script type="text/javascript">
        //<![CDATA[
  
    var ajaxTest = Seam.Component.getInstance("ajaxTest");
    ajaxTest.sayHello(noop);

        function noop(object){
                alert(object);
        }
    // ]]>
   </script>
  
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>

http://localhost:8080/pt/seam/resource/remoting/interface.js?ajaxTest

Seam.Remoting.type.ajaxTest = function() {
  this.__callback = new Object();
}
Seam.Remoting.type.ajaxTest.__name = "ajaxTest";

Seam.Component.register(Seam.Remoting.type.ajaxTest);

So the interface does no have the call to sayHello on it ? I am sure I am doing something silly ?

Can you try putting the @WebRemote annotation on the bean itself (not in the local interface) ?

[jpeddle]

Yes we already tried this.  It seems to be doing the same thing for session beans and pojos.

[shane.bryzak]

Your code looks fine to me - I converted the action bean in the remoting/helloworld example to a stateless session bean just like you have, and it worked perfectly.  I suggest that you set a breakpoint in InterfaceGenerator.appendComponentSource() to try to determine why your method isn't being included.

[jpeddle]

I've actually already tried this too.  It looks like reflections isn't picking up the @WebRemote annotation on our classes. 
However, the ProgressBar demo is working fine on our JBoss.  Could this possibly a dependency problem - maybe some jars in conflict?

[jpeddle]

Turns out I was loading the jboss-seam-remoting.jar in the WAR, rather than the EAR.  Once I put the remoting.jar in the right spot it worked fine.

Thx anyways for your help.

I was stumped for many hours on this as well until I finally found this thread. Thank you!!

Moving jboss-seam-remoting.jar from the WAR to the EAR solved my issue with getting WebRemote to work as well.

I just submitted an entry to JIRA for the JBoss Tools Dev team to take a look at this. Detailed steps for moving the file are in the JIRA.
