Problem with JBoss 7.1 lookup

[fialka]

Hello,

I used older version of JBoss for EJB educational purposes, so I understand the main principles, but I never really played with configuration. Recently I tried JBoss 7.1 and got stuck with calling my EJBs from java client.

I'm using Eclipse, created an EAR containing one EJB project with one bean and a client class trying to call it.

I keep getting

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:ofiEJB,modulename:beans,distinctname:] combination for invocation context org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext@34975276

I found this issue being discussed many times here, but it always concerned something more complex, like calling from another machine. What I really want is just call a simple bean from a java client on the same machine. Could you please help me find what is the problem?

My bean:

package ofi;

import javax.ejb.Local;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless

@Remote(JokeService.class)

public class JokeBean implements JokeService {

    @Override

    public String getJoke(){

        return "Hello";

    }

}

Interface:

Interface:

package ofi;

public interface JokeService {

    String getJoke();

}

Client (copied from a tutorial):

import java.util.Hashtable;

import javax.naming.Context;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import javax.naming.NamingException;

import ofi.JokeBean;

import ofi.JokeService;

public class MyClient {

public static void main(String[] args){

        try {

         final Hashtable jndiProperties = new Hashtable();

            jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");

          //  jndiProperties.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);  // I tried it both with and without this line

            final Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);

            // The app name is the application name of the deployed EJBs. This is typically the ear name

            // without the .ear suffix. However, the application name could be overridden in the application.xml of the

            // EJB deployment on the server.

            // Since we haven't deployed the application as a .ear, the app name for us will be an empty string

            final String appName = "ofiEJB";

            // This is the module name of the deployed EJBs on the server. This is typically the jar name of the

            // EJB deployment, without the .jar suffix, but can be overridden via the ejb-jar.xml

            // In this example, we have deployed the EJBs in a jboss-as-ejb-remote-app.jar, so the module name is

            // jboss-as-ejb-remote-app

            final String moduleName = "beans";

            // AS7 allows each deployment to have an (optional) distinct name. We haven't specified a distinct name for

            // our EJB deployment, so this is an empty string

            final String distinctName = "";

            // The EJB name which by default is the simple class name of the bean implementation class

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

            // the remote view fully qualified class name

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

            // let's do the lookup

            System.out.println("ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" + distinctName + "/" + beanName + "!" + viewClassName);

                JokeService service = (JokeService) context.lookup("ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" + distinctName + "/" + beanName + "!" + viewClassName);

                service.getJoke();

            } catch (NamingException e) {

                // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                e.printStackTrace();

            }  

    }

}

I have tried to have the client in the same project and also in a separate project. I tried to use jboss-ejb-client.properties

endpoint.name=client-endpoint

remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false

remote.connections=default

remote.connection.default.host=localhost

remote.connection.default.port = 4447

remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false

I tried to add dependency to jboss-client.jar. No combination worked so far. Still got the same exception.

If anyone knows how to solve it, I would be very gratefull. I feel a bit silly not being able to get such a basic thing working...

Thank you

Welcome to the forums!

What does the server side logs look like when you deploy the deployment? Especially the log message which shows the JNDI names for your beans. Also, you might want to try WildFly (JBoss AS is renamed to WildFly) latest release http://wildfly.org/download/ instead of AS 7.1.1 since many bug fixes (although not relevant to this specific issue) have been fixed in that newer version.

The server log does not show any error:

It seems to me that the server side is right and it's the client side that is unable to communicate with the server correctly.

Are you sure jboss-ejb-client.properties is available in the client classpath? How did you verify that part?

[fialka]

Thank you very much!

I managed to get it working, the problem was really the classpath. I had the file in correct location and moved it by mistake and did not re-check it.
