Trouble with Remote EJB invocation

[gboro54]

I currently have an remote EJB deployed on a development server in our data center. However when I try to execute a test case locally to see the invocation I get the following exception:

{code}
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find module app: common-ear-1.0.2 module: common-jar distinct name:

I defined the jboss-ejb-client.properties in the META-INF directory of the ejb jar. I am not sure if wrapping the project as an EAR is causing any issues. Do I have to move the jboss-ejb-client.properties file somewhere else? Anyway I can figure out what evnvrionment the lookup is occuring on(if I had to guess it is local host).

What kind of client is it? Is it a standalone client or are you trying to access the EJB from some other server instance?

[gboro54]

Another server instance. They are running on two seperate machines and the client side can hit the server side box.

[gboro54]

Here is my client code for getting the bean:

{code:java}

private final String appName = "common-ear-1.0.2";

private final String moduleName = "common-jar";

private final String distinctName = "";

BusinessDayServiceRemote bdsr;

ExpirationDateService eds;

@PostConstruct

public void init() throws NamingException {


final Hashtable<String, String> jndiProperties = new Hashtable<String, String>();


jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,




"org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");


final Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);


final String beanName = BusinessDayServiceImpl.class.getSimpleName();


final String viewClassName = BusinessDayServiceRemote.class.getName();


bdsr = (BusinessDayServiceRemote) context.lookup("ejb:" + appName + "/"




+ moduleName + "/" + distinctName + "/" + beanName + "!"




+ viewClassName);

}
{code}

And here is my jboss-ejb-client.properties places in the meta-inf director of the ejb-jar(which is then wrapped by an ear for deployment)

{code}
remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false
remote.connections=default
remote.connection.default.host=<ip>
remote.connection.default.port = 4447
remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false
{code}

In that case the jboss-ejb-client.properties won't play a role. See this for your usecase https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+server+instance
