Hi,
I am trying to implement a simple shopping cart using stateful Session Bean.
I am passing an item from the client and bean is supposed to add this item in an ArrayList object and return this ArrayList object.
I don't know what's going wrong.

This is the code of the Session bean:

package cart.sessionbean;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;
/**

/**
 * @ejb.bean name="MyCartEJB"
 * jndi-name="MyCartEJBBean"
 * type="Stateful"
 * @ejb.dao class="cart.sessionbean.MyCartEJBDAO"
 * impl-class="cart.sessionbean.dao.MyCartEJBDAOImpl"
 * @ejb.resource-ref res-ref-name="jdbc/OracleDS"
 * res-type="javax.sql.Datasource"
 * res-auth="Container"
 * @jboss.resource-ref res-ref-name="jdbc/OracleDS" jndi-name="java:/OracleDS"
**/

public abstract class MyCartEJBBean implements SessionBean {

 private ArrayList myCart;
 protected SessionContext ctx;

 /**
 * The ejbCreate method
 * @ejb.create-method
 *
 */
 public void ejbCreate (ArrayList myCart)throws
 javax.ejb.CreateException
 {
 System.out.println("Entering MyCartEJBBean.ejbCreate");
 this.myCart=myCart;
 System.out.println("Leaving MyCartEJBBean.ejbCreate");
 }


 public void setSessionContext(javax.ejb.SessionContext ctx)
 {
 this.ctx=ctx;
 }

 public void unsetSessionContext()
 {
 this.ctx=null;
 }

 /**
 * @ejb.interface-method
 * view-type="remote"
 * @dao.call name="addToCart"
 **/
 public java.util.ArrayList addToCart(String itemID,int quantity)
 {
 return null;
 }

 /**
 * @ejb.interface-method
 * view-type="remote"
 */
 public void setMyCart(ArrayList myCart) {
 this.myCart = myCart;
 }

 /**
 * @ejb.interface-method
 * view-type="remote"
 */
 public ArrayList getMyCart() {
 return myCart;
 }

}

and this is the client:

package cart.client;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import cart.sessionbean.dao.CartContents;
/**

 */
public class ShoppingCartClient {

 CartContents cartObject=new CartContents();
 ArrayList resultCart=new ArrayList();
 int size=0;

 private cart.sessionbean.MyCartEJBHome getHome() throws NamingException {
 return (cart.sessionbean.MyCartEJBHome) getContext().lookup(
 cart.sessionbean.MyCartEJBHome.JNDI_NAME);
 }
 private InitialContext getContext() throws NamingException {
 Hashtable props = new Hashtable();

 props.put(
 InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 props.put(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://127.0.0.1:1099");

 InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext(props);
 return initialContext;
 }
 public void testBean() {

 try {
 cart.sessionbean.MyCartEJB myBean = getHome().create(resultCart);

 //--------------------------------------
 //This is the place you make your calls.
 System.out.println("Adding item to cart");
 resultCart=myBean.addToCart("id001",1);
 System.out.println("Going to Sleep for 1 min ......................... " );
 Thread.sleep(60000); // sleep for 1 minute.
 //System.out.println("Reply from bean after 1min " + myBean.getMyCart());
 resultCart=myBean.getMyCart();
 size=resultCart.size();
 for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
 {
 cartObject=(CartContents)resultCart.get(i);
 System.out.println(cartObject.getItemid());
 System.out.println(cartObject.getQuantity());

 }

 System.out.println("Going to Sleep for 1 min ......................... " );
 Thread.sleep(60000);
 System.out.println("Adding item to cart");
 resultCart=myBean.addToCart("id002",2);
 resultCart=myBean.getMyCart();
 for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
 {
 cartObject=(CartContents)resultCart.get(i);
 System.out.println(cartObject.getItemid());
 System.out.println(cartObject.getQuantity());

 }

 } catch (RemoteException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (CreateException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (InterruptedException e)
 {

 }
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) {
 ShoppingCartClient test = new ShoppingCartClient();
 test.testBean();

 }
}

And this is the error message I am getting when I run the client:
