ejbCreate<Method> reportin error

[tobyhede]

In my Bean class I have defined the following ejbCreate and ejbPostCreate:

public abstract class ThingBean
implements javax.ejb.EntityBean
{

. . .

public Integer ejbCreateWithName(Integer id, String name) throws CreateException
{
this.setId(id);
this.setName(name);
this.setDateCreated(new Date());
this.setDateModified(new Date());
return null;
}

public void ejbPostCreateWithName(Integer id, String name) throws CreateException
{
}

. . .

}

The RemoteHome interface for the bean has the following defined:

public IThingRemote createWithName(Integer id, String name) throws RemoteException,CreateException;

However, when I deploy the bean, I receive an error:

"Could not find matching method for public.abstract ubik.ejb.thing.interfaces.IThingRemote ubik.ej.thing.interfaces.IThingRemoteHome.createWithName(Integer,String) throws RmemoteException, CreateException"

Am I missing something in my interface definitions?

I have defined all other neccessary methods in the ThingBean, when I remove the ejbCreateWithName, the bean is deployed, and I can create and remove without issue.

I am encountering the same problem, under the JBoss 3.0 alpha distribution. I have a remote home class defined as follows:

public interface LocationHome extends javax.ejb.EJBHome {
public Location createDeductLocation(
String deductPointNumber,
Date effectiveFromDate,
Date effectiveThroughDate,
String subtypeIndicator) throws CreateException, RemoteException;
.
.

and a Bean defined as follows:

public abstract class LocationBean implements EntityBean
{
public String ejbCreateDeductLocation(
String deductPointNumber,
Date effectiveFromDate,
Date effectiveThroughDate,
String subtypeIndicator) throws CreateException
{
this.setLocationNumber( deductPointNumber );
this.setSubtypeIndicator( subtypeIndicator );

return null;
}
.
.

and my ejb-jar.xml has the appropriate definitions:

com.duke.realtime.model.location.LocationHome
com.duke.realtime.model.location.Location
<local-home>com.duke.realtime.model.location.LocationLocalHome</local-home>
com.duke.realtime.model.location.LocationLocal
<ejb-class>com.duke.realtime.model.location.LocationBean</ejb-class>

The EntityContainer is able to map all of my methods from my Remote interface to my bean, but it throws the following error when it attempts the Home mapping:

org.jboss.ejb.DeploymentException: Could not find matching method for public abs
tract com.duke.realtime.model.location.Location com.duke.realtime.model.location

.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

OK, it appears that this is a known bug with JBoss:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=493188&group_id=22866&atid=376685

Seems like a pretty major bug to me, since it restricts the number of ways that you can instantiate a bean. Hope it gets addressed soon.
