Hi,

I have written timer using HASingletonDeployer type=Barrier. Below is code for that

      @Stateless(name="GenerationEJBTimer")
@Depends("jboss.ha:service=HASingletonDeployer,type=Barrier")
@LocalBinding(jndiBinding=ISiteRegenerationTimer.EJB_JNDI)
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
@Interceptors(SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor.class)
public class GenerationEJBTimer implements IRegenerationTimer {
    
    /**
     * Start the EJB Timer
     */
    public void startTimer() {
        LOGGER.debug("SiteGenerationEJBTimer : START TIMER");    
        // Check if any instances of the Timer already exists. If so kill it!!!
        //timer start code
    }
    
    ... 

and Interface is

@Local
public interface IRegenerationTimer {
    
    public final static String EJB_JNDI = "ejb/local/RegenerationTimer";
    
    public static final String TIMER_NAME = "REGENERATION_TIMER";
    public final Long FIVE_MINUTES = 1000L*60L*5L;
    
     public void startTimer();
    public void stopTimer();
}

and I have written servlet listener which will call GenerationEJBTimer through JNDI lookup.

public class InitializeRegenerationTimer implements ServletContextListener {
    
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent aSce) {
        
        LOGGER.info("Initializing InitializeRegenerationTimerContext : START");   



        try {
            
            this.getRegenerationEJBTimer().startTimer();
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            LOGGER.error("ERROR: Unable to locate RegenerationEJBTimer...", e);            
        }
        LOGGER.info("Initializing InitializeRegenerationTimerContext : STOP");
    }
    
    
    private IRegenerationTimer getRegenerationEJBTimer() throws NamingException
    {
        InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();        
        return (ISiteRegenerationTimer)ctx.lookup(IRegenerationTimer.EJB_JNDI);
    }

and this will be declared in web.xml as below

<listener>
        <listener-class>com.web.servlet.InitializeRegenerationTimer</listener-class>
</listener>

Now when I deploy this in Jboss 4.2.1.GA cluster server, I am getting javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not bound at exception even though EJB is deployed before the web app.

when I looked at the logs EJB is starting before web app starts but binding is happening after web app starts. Because of that InitializeRegenerationTimer.getRegenerationEJBTimer() is throwing ejb not bound at exception error.

Please help me how to overcome this problem.

thanks in advance.
