Persist of @Lob fails with
Lots of googling and searching of these forums havn't solved my problem, so here comes a question with a rather lengthy description:
Environment:
Windows XP
JBoss 4.0.5.GA
JBoss-Seam 1.2.1GA
Oracle 9 (ojdbc14.jar)
(Note: This problem might also be related to JBoss Seam or the EJB3 timer service)
Basic problem: I schedule a report using the TimerService, when @Timeout hits, the report is assembled and stored in a @Lob. As long as the JBoss isn't restarted before the "job" has run, this works as a charm. If I stop and start the server, the actual generation of the report happens just fine (since the Timer is persistent and resumes after startup), BUT - Hibernate fails with classloading errors when it tries to write that resulting POJO into the @Lob field. The full stacktrace is posted at the end of this post.
And oh - the POJO stored in the @Lob is read by a Seam Component and then displayed as PDF using the seam-pdf stuff in a JSF page if someone wonders...
@Stateless
@Name("reportTimerBean")
public class ReportTimerBean implements ReportTimer {
private static final String BEAN_JNDI = "myApp/ScheduledReportProcessorBean/local";
@Resource
TimerService timerService;
public void startReportTimer(Schedulable schedulableReport)
GregorianCalendar startTime= new GregorianCalendar();
startTime.add(GregorianCalendar.MINUTE, 3);
timerService.createTimer(startTime.getTime(), schedulableReport);
}
@Timeout
public void createScheduledReport(Timer timer) {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ScheduledReportProcessor scheduledReportProcessor =
(ScheduledReportProcessor)
ctx.lookup(REPORT_PROCESSOR_BEAN_JNDI);
scheduledReportProcessor.processReport(
(Schedulable) timer.getInfo());
} catch (NamingException e) {
throw e;
}
}
At time of timeout, @Timeout methid is invoked which calls the ScheduledReportProcessor EJB which generates the report data into a POJO using Hibernate queries. This POJO (which implements Serializable) is then set into an @Entity bean field, i.e:
@Column(name="DATAMODEL") @Lob @Basic(fetch = FetchType.EAGER) private Serializable data;
and is persisted using a normal EntityManager
@AutoCreate
@Name("scheduledReportProcessor")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Stateless
public class ScheduledReportProcessorBean implements ScheduledReportProcessor {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="myApp")
private EntityManager entityManager;
public void processReport(Schedulable schedulableReport) {
schedulableReport.doReport(entityManager);
}
}
As seen, the Schedulable instance contains its own report creation code in command-pattern style.
The supplied EntityManager is first used to assemble the data from the database, and is then used to insert the resulting data into the Serializable field shown further up.
private int createAndPersistReportDataModel(MyAppReportDataModel reportDataModel, EntityManager entityManager) {
ReportDataModel dataModel = new ReportDataModel();
dataModel.setData(reportDataModel);
dataModel.setCreated(new java.util.Date());
entityManager.persist(dataModel); // HERE IT CAN GO WRONG!
}
The class MyAppReportDataModel normally contains a lot of fields, but in order to narrow possible causes, it is a simple POJO now containing only 2 simple strings.
The stacktrace below, I repeat, happens AFTER all of the data has been assembled, the only thing left is to write it to the database. Also, I repeat - as long as a scheduled report runs before any server stop/start, this works perfectly.
