Deploying EJBs and connecting from a client

[harindra_r]

Hi,

I have just installed JBoss, and need some help configuring and deploying EJBs, and then invoking from a client. Im very familiar with EJBs and WebLogic, and would appreciate if you could give me a hand to kick start JBoss;

Im using JBoss 2.4.4

[1] How could I start the GUI tool to edit jboss.xml..? I do not have /bin/ejx.bat file.

[2] Is there more detailed documentation to be downloaded..?

[3] Once the EJB is deployed, in order to connect to it using an EJB client,

+ what JNDI initial context factory class should I use..?

+ what is the JNDI provider url that I should use..?


thanks in advance

No GUI. Every serious ;-) programmer now uses Xdoclets -> see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet

online you can find docs which are outdated with regards to 2.4.x. But you can find there some fresh snippets about JBoss 3.0 (RabbitHole). You can buy a 400 pages book about 2.4.x from Scott Stark online for 10 dollars.

don´t know what you mean. I always use:

import javax.naming.InitialContext;
.
.
jndiContext = new InitialContext();

> + what is the JNDI provider url that I should use..?

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
