cics rar deployment on jboss 7.1.1 -InteractionSpec error

[glkishore]

I have deployed the CICS resporce adaptor and created connection definitions. Deployed the sample application. When application tries to invoke the cics call, I receive below exception. Same application works fine on websphere with same rar and connection definitions (in terms of properties that I provided).  I tried the ECIIVT.ear provided with cisc installation, that also has the same error.

com.ibm.connector2.cics.CICSUserInputException: CTG9628E InteractionSpec passed to execute() not of type ECIInteractionSpec

at com.ibm.connector2.cics.ECIInteraction.execute(Unknown Source)

I have printed the object that is being passed to 'ECIInteraction.execute' method, it return as an instance of 'ECIInteractionSpec'.

I am using cics adaptor came from cics installtion version 8.1.

here is my resource adaptor config in server.xml

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.0">

            <resource-adapters>

                <resource-adapter>

                    <archive>cicseci.rar</archive>

                    <transaction-support>XATransaction</transaction-support>

                    <connection-definitions>

                        <connection-definition class-name="com.ibm.connector2.cics.ECIManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:/ECI" use-java-context="true" pool-name="ECIIVT">

                         <!--  NOTE: below config properties has proper values on the server.xml-->

                            <config-property name="UserName">username</config-property>

                            <config-property name="ConnectionURL">tcp://cicshost</config-property>

                            <config-property name="PortNumber">port</config-property>

                            <config-property name="ServerName">cisc server</config-property>

                            <config-property name="TraceLevel">1</config-property>

                            <config-property name="xaSupport">true</config-property>

                        </connection-definition>

                    </connection-definitions>

                </resource-adapter>

            </resource-adapters>

        </subsystem>

Attaching the ra.xml from cics rar.

Anyone came across this kind of issue(s) and has a solution?

Hi,

Tried with 8.0.0.Cr1 and 8.1.0.CR1, got the same error.

Hello,

I've have the same error with JBoss EAP 6.2.1 (or 6.2.0) with a sample program.

Using : RA cicseci.rar and IBM CTG version 9.0.0.2

Error message is:

15:29:14,372 ERROR [stderr] (http-localhost/127.0.0.1:8080-2)     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744)

The issue occured in these code lines (in ECIInteraction.class from cicseci.rar)

      if (paramInteractionSpec != null)

      {

        if ((paramInteractionSpec instanceof ECIInteractionSpec))  /// HERE: isn't an instance of ECIInterationSpec

        {

          localObject2 = (ECIInteractionSpec)paramInteractionSpec;

        }

        else

        {

          getLogHelper().traceEntry(this, "execute()", null);

          localObject3 = new CICSUserInputException(CICSMessageHelper.getString("ECI_INT_SPEC_NOT_ECI"));

          getLogHelper().traceEx(this, (Throwable)localObject3);

          throw ((Throwable)localObject3);

        }

Theses code works with JBoss 5 and WebSphere 7 (same settings)

I thinks there are perhaps a issue with JCA in JBoss EAP 6+ (or JBoss AS 7.1+)?

[abhishek.providence]

Has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the same issue with JBoss 6.2 and the CICS transaction gateway 9.0 rar file.

[lrcuwei]

Any news on that problem?

[rck7]

Hi, the same error with JBoss EAP 6.4.0.GA and cicseci.rar v9.0.0.3

com.ibm.connector2.cics.CICSUserInputException: CTG9628E L'InteractionSpec passato a execute() non  di tipo ECIInteractionSpec

    at com.ibm.connector2.cics.ECIInteraction.execute(Unknown Source)

[swagde]

After much research i found that the class ECIInteractionSpec is present in 2 jars - cicsj2ee.jar and ctgclient.jar . While ctgclient is a part of the deployment cicseci.rar , cicsj2ee is not. Hence at runtime, the jboss server tries to map ctgclient's class in ECIInteraction. This should be in fact taken from cicsj2ee.

The solution is to create a module and include all ctg related jars there -

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

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.cics">

<resources>

<!-- Modules -->

<resource-root path="cicseci.jar" />

<resource-root path="cicsframe.jar" />

<resource-root path="cicsj2ee.jar" />

<resource-root path="ctgclient.jar" />

<resource-root path="ctgserver.jar" />

</resources>

<dependencies>

    <module name="javax.api" />

    <module name="javax.resource.api"/>

</dependencies>

</module>

This should be given to the cics rar deployment as a module loader. This resolved the issue for me. Hope it helps you all too.
