Release according to JBossAS 5.0.0.GA

[juergen.zimmermann]

Is a release according to JBossAS 5.0.0.GA being planned?

[parszab]

It's so very sad, that this project became dead! The main site even states, that the JBoss 5 kernel is the main focus of the embedded project, and now not even a response for this question in a month! Not a very reassuring attitude from JBoss/RH!

[alesj]

Parszab, you're welcome to contribute. ;-)

btw: what main site states this?

There was never to my knowledge any promises that
this is gonna be aligned with JBossAS 5.0.0.GA.

There is some ongoing work to separate the bootstrap,
hence making any future Embeddable easier to assemble.

[wolfc]

To put it bluntly: there will be no release of the old JBoss Embedded that is compatible with AS 5.0.0.GA.

But we are working on a facility that allows unit testing outside of the Application Server with the same codebase. Therein the same JBoss MicroContainer as used in AS as the heart. We want to try and have this before the release of Enterprise Application Server 5.

As an example you can take a look at the EJB 3.1 Embeddable prototype: http://www.jboss.org/wiki/EJB31Embeddable
It doesn't use JBoss Bootstrap yet, but that'll come.

JBoss Bootstrap itself is already used for some of the unit tests within the EJB 3 project (booting up the JTA 'profile'):

So depending on your needs there is already some stuff that can help you out, but it's not yet in a state where we want to release it.

(I especially like the Started in 1s:769ms. :-) (I know it's a bit of cheating... ;-) )

[parszab]

Thanks for the replies!

I might have misunderstood what can be read on this site: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9690 namely that: "The focus of Embedded JBoss is to be able to run the JBoss 5 Kernel and JEMS services with a non-JBoss-controlled classloader. "

I thought it sort of meant that the goal was to provide an embedded system that would be compatible with the JBoss 5 AS. Which would be great to some of us, who need exactly this ;-) -- e.g. if they develop applications that they want to run both as standalone desktop and client-server apps -- with the same codebase. Is it not a major appeal of the Embedded JBoss idea?

And trust me, I would love to contribute if I was good enough a developer for such complex tasks ;-) Hope I will have a chance later!

I have misunderstood about this site: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9690 too.

Well what I need is a facility that allows unit testing outside of the Application Server.
So, I use JBoss AS 5 and I want to use junit through eclipse, maven, and hudson.

I have followed this instructions: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9618 it worked with Session Beans, but I need JPA (hibernate) working too. So now I am having problems in jpa-deployers-beans.xml. Anyone could help me ?
I got this message:

*** DEPLOYMENTS MISSING DEPENDENCIES: Name -> Dependency{Required State:Actual State}
PersistenceUnitDependencyResolver -> class org.jboss.jpa.resolvers.strategy.SpecCompliantSearchStrategy{Installed:** NOT FOUND **}

Carlo could you tell me how do you boot up JTA profile ?

Well now I got other problem, this one above is ok. The problem is that the class EmbeddedDataSourceDependencyResolver is NYI.
Do you guys have any idea to workround it or how to implement it ?

[wolfc]

That's because we don't have a standalone JTA data source deployer yet.

So what I do in my project is in deploy/jpa-deployers-beans.xml:

<deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">
 <bean name="DataSourceDependencyResolver"
 class="org.jboss.ejb3.timerservice.mk2.test.common.SimpleDataSourceDependencyResolver"/>
</deployment>

But it actually doesn't belong there. It should be provided by said JTA data source deployer.

And then conf/bootstrap/derby.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">
 <!-- As a 'mock' DataSource we use HSQLDB -->
 <bean name="HSQLDBService" class="org.jboss.ejb3.timerservice.mk2.test.common.HSQLDBService">
 <depends>NamingServer</depends>
 </bean>
</deployment>

Hmm, it would probably be better to put that data source dependency resolver here.

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/ejb3/trunk/timerservice-mk2/src/test/java/org/jboss/ejb3/timerservice/mk2/test/common/HSQLDBService.java
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/ejb3/trunk/timerservice-mk2/src/test/java/org/jboss/ejb3/timerservice/mk2/test/common/SimpleDataSourceDependencyResolver.java

As you can see the two are basically hard-coded cousins.
Anyway this will give you a data source, but not a JTA compliant one. I'm not yet sure how this will affect operations.

The goal is to get an Embedded that is 100% compatible with AS 5, but it won't happen for 5.0.0.GA. :-)

Almost all the code you see running is the code that's going into AS 5.1 & 6, so it should be compatible. Note that some bits have been replaced because they make no sense in a light environment.

After a plenty of tries I succeded well in executing jpa + ejb3 with junit. So I got one problem that I want to know how can I fix it.
In my Stateless bean I have a EntityManager property that is annotated with @PersistenceContext but it didn't inject the value there. So I want to use the interceptor or samething else. It would help me a lot.
