How to use Tomcat 5.5.12 as web client and JBoss 4.0.3 EJB a

sony3002 Mar 16, 2006 4:54 AM

Hello all

i am a novice in Ejb and now i have to work on Jboss ,
so when i looked in the docs and also considering my needs i came up with
a couple of doubts. first i will write down here what i have understood.

Tomcat is HTTP server and JBoss is application server.
Jboss use tomcat as its http server

if this is correct then what i want is

i don't need the http server of Jboss.
i want to disable or stop it or don't want use jboss's http service

i want to use stand alone tomcat5.5.12 from apache for me, to be used as client

in a simple way
i want to connect from tomcat on port 8080 at computer A
and tomcat on port 8080 at computer B
to
Jboss on port 9090 that is installed on Computer C

what should i do for this ???
please provide your valuable comments

thanking all

Looks like you don't have a clue about it.

That's all what EJB's are all about.

For what to do if you don't need TC in JBossAS? Simply remove TC.sar directory/file from deploy.

1. JBoss application server guide
2. EJB specification (2.1 or not yet final 3.0 (jsr220))

>> that connect from tomcat to jboss ????

That's a simple JNDI lookup to remote app server.

sony,

You really should read some documentation on Java's Enterprise Edition API usage, not just how to solve this one issue. I suggest starting at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html. Specifically to answer your last question, look at chapter 24 (Creating the application client.)

What are you now: sony or soony.
Start with simpler apps.
Don't do remote stuff until you don't even master simple local stuff.
Be a Swing man or a Servlet dude for a year.
Or as we both told you, read, read and read.
Don't ask such stupid / general questions.

hello alesj and j2ee_junkie

according to the great help provided by both of you,
i did manage almost 90% of my problems
i connected from stand alone tomcat to Jboss on port 1099 and i listed all the objects bind by jboss

then i downloaded netbeans 5.5 J2EE preview and created a sample ejb module in it using Jboss as the J2EE server
when i deployed it i got the following error in jboss

21:19:34,046 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment:
file:/D:/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/deploy/EJBModule.jar
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException:
ejb-jar.xml must either obey the right xml schema or define a valid DOCTYPE!

when i looked in to the ejb-jar.xml i found that it had only schema def. here is the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd">
</ejb-jar>

when i created ejbmodule in EJB 2.1 format using netbeans 5.0 it wrote the ejb-jar.xml for me
so i copied that to my ejb-jar.xml and created the
new ejb-jar.xml file as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd">
 <display-name>EJBModule</display-name>

 <session>
 <display-name>UserLoginBeanSB</display-name>
 <ejb-name>UserLoginBean</ejb-name>
 <remote>com.mycompany.myproject.ejb.login.UserLoginRemote</remote>
 <ejb-class>com.mycompany.myproject.ejb.login.UserLoginBean</ejb-class>

 <ejb-name>UserLoginBean</ejb-name>
 <method-name>*</method-name>
 </method>
 <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
 </container-transaction>
 </assembly-descriptor>
 </ejb-jar>

then also it showed the same error
where will i get the doc to create ejb-jar.xml
in EJB3 schema ????

thank you

Sony
