I ran the tar command - and nothing happened.  How do I know if it's corrupt?  Should something appear?

Sorry, typo:

I am trying to deploy my first ear FirstBean.ear on jboss5.1

a)It has  Meta-INF folder containign application.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd'>

<application>
  <display-name>MyFirstBean</display-name>
  <description>Application description</description>
  <module>
    <ejb>ejb.jar</ejb>
  </module>
  <module>
  </module>
</application>

b) it has ejb.jar

which has following files and meta-inf which has ejb.jar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar>
  <description>A simple session bean</description>
  <display-name>Simple Message EJB</display-name>
  <enterprise-beans>
    <session>
      <ejb-name>SimpleMessenger</ejb-name>
      <home>FirstEJBHome</home>
      <remote>FirstEJBObject</remote>
      <ejb-class>FirstEJBBean</ejb-class>
      <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
      <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
    </session>
  </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

And it has FirstEJBBean.class

FirstEJBHome.class

FirstEJBObject.class

After  deploying and putting it in the folder D:\Softwares\jboss\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy  as FirstBean.ear,

It gives thie exception

Please help me for the same. I am struck and not able to proceed.

[wdfink]

Looks like that there is an empty <module> element within the application.xml. The first element contain ejb.jar as <ejb> and the second is empty.

Remove it and try again.

[smithakutty]

Thanks a lot for the same.Appreciated.

Hi ,

I  have created EJB Client now:-

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.EJBException;
import javax.ejb.EJBHome;
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

public class FirstEJBClient  {

public static void main(String args[])
{
 
try {
  Context ctx = new InitialContext();
  Object o = ctx.lookup("FirstEJBHome");
  FirstEJBHome ejbHome = (FirstEJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o,EJBHome.class);
  try {
   FirstEJBObject firstEJBObject =(FirstEJBObject) ejbHome.create();
   firstEJBObject.firstHello();
  
  } catch (RemoteException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (CreateException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

} catch (NamingException e) {
  // TODO Auto-generated catch block
  e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}

What are the different setting i need to do to  run this as a java application.

a)Do i need to have jboss-xml and jndi-properties configured.

jndi-properties file:-

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

jboss-xml:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss>
  <enterprise-beans>
    <session>
      <ejb-name>Interest</ejb-name>
      <jndi-name>interest/Interest</jndi-name>
    </session>
  </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>

b) Where  do i need to package these files in my structure as specified above?

c) how do i call the FirstEJBBean.ear from my client class directly?

Where should i put my client class and  how do i package the application together.?

Hi Smitha,

you should open a new thread for your questions as it will be different to the thread of Jim.

Also give us a short explanation what you deploy (and whether it is successful) and what you want to achieve.
