Hi Frank,

we use local interfaces with jboss 2.4.1 without any problems.

Have You defined local references fore the beans You want access the local interfaces?
You can only lookup local interfaces in the comp/env namespace.

Hi Frank,

You made this topic number one in 'Popular Discussions' ;-).

jBoss 2.4.x support not all, but some feature of the ejb 2.0 spec.
It does not support relationships, but it support local interfaces. (and MDB ...)
We use the MVCSoft persistence manager (mvcsoft.com), which provide us with the full features of ejb 2.0 persistency. The implementation of local interfaces is from the same auther as this pm.

By the way, I published a editor which may help You configureing the ejb-jar.xml rigth.

Hi Frank,

You don't need set up this system properties, they should already been setted while starting jBoss.
We only lookup local entity interfaces but Your lookup should work anyway. MYLOCALBEAN must be the name specified by the local reference of the first bean.
On Monday I will send some example code.

Hi Frank,

here is my dd:

<enterprise-beans>

The EACM Session
<ejb-name>EACMSession</ejb-name>
eacm.ejb.EACMSessionHome
eacm.ejb.EACMSession
<ejb-class>eacm.ejb.EACMSessionBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>PersonEntity</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<ejb-link>PersonEJB</ejb-link>
<local-home>eacm.ejb.PersonHome</local-home>
eacm.ejb.Person
</ejb-local-ref>


<ejb-name>PersonEJB</ejb-name>
<local-home>eacm.ejb.PersonHome</local-home>
eacm.ejb.Person
<ejb-class>eacm.ejb.PersonBean</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.lang.String</prim-key-class>
True
<cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version>
<abstract-schema-name>PersonBean</abstract-schema-name>
<cmp-field>
<field-name>userID</field-name>
</cmp-field>
....

an in session bean class:
try {
Context initial = new InitialContext();
personHome= (PersonHome) initial.lookup("java:/comp/env/PersonEntity");
} catch (NamingException nex) {
throw new EacmException("'PersonEntity unknown by naming service.");
}

Hi Andreas.

I was wondering if you have experienced any of the stuff being discussed in:
http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ whether you had any hints/ideas
cheers
Oliver

It didn't work for me :-(

Could you provide a full example?

Thanks

Andreas or Frank- I too get the name not bound exception for a stateless session bean with local interfaces-
my dd:


<ejb-name>PageDimensionSessionBean</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>PageDimensionSessionBean</local-jndi-name>
<local-home>com.company.aq.session.PageDimensionSessionHome</local-home>
com.company.aq.session.PageDimensionSession
<ejb-class>com.company.aq.session.PageDimensionSessionBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>



and my lookup is :

Object obj = new InitialContext().lookup("local/PageDimensionSessionBeanPage");

I still get :

[ERROR,EJBUtil] Failed initializing bean access.
[ERROR,Default] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: local not bound
[ERROR,Default] at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.j
ava:495)

which is the same error I get when I lookup like this:

Object obj = new InitialContext().lookup("PageDimensionSessionBean");

the error:

[ERROR,EJBUtil] Failed initializing bean access.
[ERROR,Default] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: PageDimensionSessionBean not
bound

even though I can clearly see the name on port 8082 and when JBoss starts I get the following message:

[INFO,PageDimensionSessionBean] Initializing
[INFO,PageDimensionSessionBean] Initialized
[INFO,PageDimensionSessionBean] Starting
[INFO,PageDimensionSessionBean] Started


Both lookups fail-
Could you show us some of your lookup code that helped Frank- or point out what is the problem here- I am running 2.4.4 with Tomcat 4 when this prob. occurs

thanx a million

Jim
