    Problem deploying IIOP beans

    robkot

      Version: JBoss 2.3.6
      OS: SUSE Linux Pro 9.0
      JDK 1.4.2

      Hi,

      for educational purposes, I've modified Interest example, without IIOP it works well. However, I'd like to use IIOP and access beans from C++ CORBA applications (preferably TAO). Following documentation, I added the following to my jboss.xml file:
      <invoker-bindings>

      <invoker-proxy-binding-name>iiop</invoker-proxy-binding-name>

      </invoker-bindings>

      Should it be placed in <enterprise-beans> section or in ? IIOP section of documentation (http://www.jboss.org/developers/projects/jboss/IIOP) says it should be in but then deployment fails:

      20:18:39,044 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying Interest

      For the record: I compile everything by hand, calling javac and jar. Perhaps I'm misssing something ?

      Someone on this forum suggests that <invoker-bindings> should be directly in <enterprise-beans>. I changed it, and then:

      20:48:47,159 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying Interest
      20:48:47,238 INFO [StatelessSessionInstancePool] Registration is not done -> stop
      20:48:47,461 INFO [EJBDeployer] Deployed: file:/home/robert/java/jboss/ver326/tmp/jboss-3.2.6/server/all/deploy/Interest.jar

      However, Naming Service seems to be empty when inspected using JacORB's nmg tool:

      $ nmg -ORBInitRef NameService=corbaloc::1.2@localhost:3528/JBoss/Naming/root &

      (localhost, 127.0.0.1 or real address, doesn't matter). The same for TAO's nslist.
      Shouldn't home be registered during bean deployment ?

      And, of course, client does not work. Using jndi.properties with:

      java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory
      java.naming.provider.url=corbaloc::localhost:3528/JBoss/Naming/root

      Running (EJB) client:

      Got context
      javax.naming.NameNotFoundException [Root exception is org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.NotFound: IDL:omg.org/CosNaming/NamingContext/NotFound:1.0]

      The relevant code fragment is:

      InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
      System.out.println("Got context");

      // Get a reference to the Interest Bean
      Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("interest/Interest");
      System.out.println("Got reference");

      So it seems lookup fails - not surprisingly. I read posts on the forum and someone said that JBoss shoud print message indicating that home was registered in NS. I did an experinment: using nmg I created context "interest" and object "Interest" inside. using some IOR of the NS, just for testing. Then client correctly looked up and retrieved reference, but, obviously, failed on narrow.

      My jboss.xml:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtds/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">

      <enterprise-beans>
      <invoker-bindings>

      <invoker-proxy-binding-name>iiop</invoker-proxy-binding-name>

      </invoker-bindings>

      <ejb-name>Interest</ejb-name>
      <jndi-name>interest/Interest</jndi-name>

      </enterprise-beans>


      ejb-jar.xml:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtds/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
      <ejb-jar>
      JBoss Interest Sample Application
      <display-name>Interest EJB</display-name>
      <enterprise-beans>

      <ejb-name>Interest</ejb-name>
      InterestHome
      Interest
      <ejb-class>InterestBean</ejb-class>
      <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
      <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>

      </enterprise-beans>
      </ejb-jar>

      Why is NS empty after deployment ? Do I make some obvious mistake ?

      Thanks for any help,
      Robert
