ejb lookup from an outside war
bharath1234 Mar 10, 2014 8:19 AMI have a EJB JAR which deploys okay. I can see the following JNDI bindings on stdout -
[0m [0m17:27:00,205 INFO [org.jboss.as.ejb3.deployment.processors.EjbJndiBindingsDeploymentUnitProcessor] (MSC service thread 1-2) JNDI bindings for session bean named HelloServiceBean in deployment unit deployment "helloservice.jar" are as follows:
java:global/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
java:app/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
java:module/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
java:jboss/exported/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
I see the same binding on my management console for JNDI, which are -
java:global/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
java:app/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService
Am trying to lookup this EJB from a WAR. The EJB-Jar and WAR are NOT part of single EAR. I want both to be deployed separately. Now, I have tried looking up both the above JNDI names but the lookup does not succeed. The code -
@EJB(lookup = "java:global/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService")
private HelloService helloservice;
@EJB(lookup = "java:app/helloservice/HelloServiceBean!javaeetutorial.helloservice.ejb.HelloService")
private HelloService anotherhelloservice;
While trying to fix the problem, I found that on my management-console, for the EJB-JAR the subsytem dependencies are listed as ejb3, undertow and webservices. But for my WAR, the subsystem dependencies are listed as jpa, undertow and webservices. So I thought I needed to add EJB3 as a subsystem dependency to my WAR - to do so I put a near blank ejb-jar.xml in my WEB-INF of the WAR. My WAR does not have any beans - I just want to lookup. Do I need ejb3 subsystem listed as dependency for a WAR which does only lookups? How can I do that? Where is my understanding/implementation broken? Am using Wildfly8-Final.
My near blank ejb-jar.xml -
<ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsd"
version="3.1">
</ejb-jar>
Thank you.
