3.0 beta doesn't recognize ejbCreate

[lepekhine]

I have build 3.0 beta from cvs:
JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [3.0.0beta2 Date:200203111606]
After deployment the ear, which worked fine in 3.0 alpha
I've got complains about the absence of ejb[Post]Create methods in my CMP EJB.
When I changed
if (name.startsWith("create"))
to
if (name.equals("create"))
in org.jboss.ejb.plugins.CMPPersistenceManager's
method createMethodCache() it begins to work.
I think this is a bug.

Then my web.xml wont be deployed with complains about
EMPTY content. It works fine in 3.0 alpha.
web.xml was generated by webdoclet and contains the
string
true
When I deleted this string web.xml was deployed.
Is it a bug? Acording to servlet spec my web.xml
is valid.
Yours Alexander

true tells JBoss that your application can be distributed over a cluster configuration. AFAIK, this is not working correctly for now. use distributable="false" on your webdoclet task to mark the application as non-distributable and thus be able to deploy it.

Doh!

That's my fault.

In CMP 2.0
createMethodCache gets mapped to ejbCreateMethodCache
in the bean.

I think you are using CMP1.1, the code should be

if (isEJB11 == false && name.startsWith("create"))

I'll fix it.

You might want to rename the method if you are planning
to migrate to EJB2.0 at some point in the future.

:-) createMethodCache isn't your name, but you have
something similar.

I just use CMP 2.0, so your improvement probably will not work.

And another feature: when JBoss is restarted, it deploy my ears before Hypersonic service started, so I have to remove all my ears, start JBoss and then deploy ears again.

[adrian.brock]

If you are using CMP2.0, you can no longer use
create as a business method. You have to
change its name. This is in the spec, but was missing
from JBoss until recently.

The ear problem is a known issue. I reported it to the
bug list on Sunday. Your workaround is a temporary
solution.

Dear Adrian!
I don't use create() as a business method.
It is my local home interface method.
As I understand from EJB 2.0 spec we can use
it along with others create methods.
See the example in chapter 6.3.1.
They defined there two methods:
create() and createLargeCart().
So I still can't understand why this piece of code
doesn't work. Do you mean we can't use create() at all?

Now another question.
Would you mind telling me what shoud I do
for using log4j-1.2 in helper classes of jsp?
It seems to me that classloader mix two versions
of log4j. My version is in the WEB-INF/lib
and JBoss version in the JBOSS-HOME/lib/ext.
My program complains to wrong signature for some
method in log4j.
This often occurs when two versions are used
simutaneously.

Re: create

I don't understand this. If your method is create()
what is the difference between
startsWith("create") and equals("create")

Perhaps you can post your jar or a cutdown version with
the same problem?

I have examples of this working in the testsuite.

Hi, Adrian! I send you category.ear and all sources
to it. Much of them are in Russia, sorry.
This ear can not be deployed with "startsWith"
and can be deployed with "equals". Wonderful.
I think this is may be due to ejb inheritance.
I have successfully deployed "cmpcustomer" Sun example
with create() method. No errors was found.
Don't know what to think about it.
Yours Alexander

[adrian.brock]

Hi,

In your interfaces/CategoryLocalHome you have a
createRoot() method.

Regards,
Adrian

[lepekhine]

Yes. And this method doesn't have corresponding ejbPostCreate in EJB. I am sorry for trouble you.
I found this error when deploy ear to Weblogic. It turns out to be much more conversational then JBoss.
Sorry, again.
Yours, Alexander.

Criticism accepted.

Actually the verifier for EJB2.0 is missing at
the moment :-(
