    invoke EJB 3 from a remote server problem

    mid491

      hi,

       

      I'am trying to call a remote EJB on a second server.

       

      First, I've tried on my local Jboss (7.1.1-final, Windows Seven) ) the tutorial (http://www.jboss.org/jdf/quickstarts/jboss-as-quickstart/ejb-remote/) & https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+client+using+JNDI

      All works fine.

       

      Second, I've deployed on my remote Jboss the same tutorial and all works fine.

       

      Third, I've changed the "jboss-ejb-client.properties" on the client (the local) to target the remote server :

       

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

      remote.connections=default

      remote.connection.default.host=167.50.75.98

      remote.connection.default.port = 4447

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

       

      and add credentials :

       

      remote.connection.default.username=ejb

      remote.connection.default.password=test

       

      On server side (the remote Jboss) I've added the user (add-user.bat)

       

      Maven compile, and mvn exec:exec on client side, I got this error :

      did I miss something ?

       

      thanx!

          Do you add the user as Application user? Management user is not for app login.

            yes I did (b option) ... now it's working..;I guess I did not restart the server after add user ??

              If I check the properties file inside code I got the keys ;

                          // load a properties file from class path, inside static method

                          props.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(

                                  "jboss-ejb-client.properties"));

               

               

                          for (String key : props.stringPropertyNames()) {

                              String value = props.getProperty(key);

                              System.out.println(" ### " + value);

                          }

                          ex.printStackTrace();

                      }

               

              So I guess the class-path is ok.

               

              any hints ? Maybe a problem on 7.1.1-final ? or is it something about Maven depdencies ? M2e with Jboss tools ?? Or maybe something with the JSF Controler context ?

                something I don't understand in regards of tutorials (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+client+using+JNDI & https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+server+instance

                 

                If I choose the first way (JNDI) to call a remote EJB (server & client are on two different machines) Do I have to configure the client machine as specified into the second tutorial ?? (anyway I've tried to do that, same error..)

                  It's unclear to me what you do.

                  Is the 'client' a application deployed on a second server? Or is it a client running as simple Java program?

                  The difference between the two documentations is exact this difference 'remote+client' mean a standalone program 'remote+server+instance' mean an EE application deployed in AS7 call an EJB in another server.

                   

                  Also the lookup name change if you deploy the EJB in an EAR or JAR file

                    Thank you Wolf-Dieter to answer me

                     

                    Sorry if I was unclear ^^

                    I have two servers (two machines) , each a Jboss server 7.1.1-final.

                     

                    I first test the tutorial "as-it" : so I can call the server part (deployed on Jboss) from the client part (standalone). Nice.

                    Note the server side tutorial part is deployed as explain in the readme (mvn install and mvn jboss-as:deploy). So it is not deployed inside an EAR or WAR :

                     

                      java:global/jboss-as-ejb-remote-server-side/CalculatorBean!org.jboss.as.quickstarts.ejb.remote.stateless.RemoteCalculator

                              java:app/jboss-as-ejb-remote-server-side/CalculatorBean!org.jboss.as.quickstarts.ejb.remote.stateless.RemoteCalculator

                              java:module/CalculatorBean!org.jboss.as.quickstarts.ejb.remote.stateless.RemoteCalculator

                              java:jboss/exported/jboss-as-ejb-remote-server-side/CalculatorBean!org.jboss.as.quickstarts.ejb.remote.stateless.RemoteCalculator

                              java:global/jboss-as-ejb-remote-server-side/CalculatorBean

                              java:app/jboss-as-ejb-remote-server-side/CalculatorBean

                              java:module/CalculatorBean

                     

                    Now what I am tried to do is to call the server part (on distant machine) but with the client part tutorial code integrated inside an JEE application (EAR+WAR+EJB)

                     

                    About documentation : to me remote does not necessarily mean standalone only (Java main program) ? It's confusing...

                    So I have to follow up the 'remote+server+instance' If I want to make the tutorial code working inside a JEE application ?

                     

                    thx,

                      Yes, you have to follow that document.

                      Also you can have a look to my quickstart ejb-multi-server here. the main-app invoke applications deployed on other servers with different approaches.

                        Finaly got it. Thx Wolf-Dieter to point me the right way

                         

                        I restarted from scratch with my own simple :

                        - a provider project with a simple EJB project inside an EAR, deployed on the remote machine (Jboss 7.1.1-final).

                        - adding user with add-user.bat & following the sample article realm creation processus

                        - export the jar from Eclipse

                         

                        - create a client project into a EAR/WAR with servlet that consume the distant EJB deployed on the client machine

                        - adding into ClientWeb\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib the exported JAR from the provider project and adding jboss-client.jar into same directory (taken from jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\client)

                         

                        Deploy, works perfect.

                        In can trace the network activity with wireShark :

                        My mistakes in my previous tests was the confusion beetwen remote Client unsing JNDI approach vs remote server instance and to put the jboss-ejb-client.xml at the wrong place I guess it s from M2e plugin that drop out the jboss-ejb-client.xml from EAR/META-INF during depoyment

                         

                        As said in comments of article (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+server+instance) If things goes right you must have a log message into console during deployment like :

                        [org.jboss.ejb.client.remoting.RemotingConnectionEJBReceiver] (MSC service thread 1-4) Successful version handshake completed for receiver context EJBReceiverContext{clientContext=org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientContext@600a08, receiver=Remoting connection EJB receiver [connection=Remoting connection <18f57d2>,channel=jboss.ejb,nodename=nodeone]} on channel Channel ID b3e3f879 (outbound) of Remoting connection 0024e39f to localhost/127.0.0.1:4447

                         

                        Otherwise something is wrong like the jboss-ejb-client.xml not at the good place.

                         

                         

                         

                        Note : sample document has typo mistake at chap. 9 "Create a security realm on the client server" : I'll first shutdown the client server and edit the standlaone-full.xml file to add the following in the <management> section and after  jaikiran (...)

                        He did not edit the xml but used the jboss-cli.bat to create the realm. Indeed, we can do it the two ways but the article used the jboss-cli.bat one.

                         

                        Happy

                          last question : the document https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Remote+EJB+invocations+via+JNDI+-+EJB+client+API+or+remote-naming+project is "remote.client" oriented.  Is it usable for the same purpose (call EJB from one machine to another machine) ?

                            Yes, it applies for all remote EJB invocations.
