In order to get the FirstSession bean working, I found the following are needed:

1. Get to it at http://localhost:8080/firstweb/jsp/FirstSession.jsp. The document did not point it to the correct path.

2. I create an application.xml under firstweb\src, it simply contains the the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<display-name>First JBoss </display-name>


first.jar




3. Need to add a block of code to create the first.ear in the first\build.xml, and deploy it instead of deploying frist.jar.

I use the following:
<!-- ================ -->
<!-- Create the ear archives -->
<!-- ================ -->










4. Modify the block of code <target name="deploy" ... , so it looks like the following:

<target name="deploy" description="This will deploy files in jboss" depends="jar,ear,jar-client">

<!-- fileset file="&#36;&#123;project.dir&#125;/dist/&#36;&#123;project.name&#125;.jar" / -->
<fileset file="&#36;&#123;project.dir&#125;/dist/&#36;&#123;project.name&#125;.ear" />




Then, run ant to build it...

It works for me in this way. Hope it helps ;-)

Hi asahni,

got probs with your "firstCmp" application:

Any hints?

I use 3.2.1 wit Tomcat 4.1.24 and have the same problem.

Hi,

I'm using JBoss 3.2.0

bye

In the RegisterBean.java, declare the exception and use ejb.select tag for the ejbSelectByName method. On top of your file, just specify one line for the jboss.query tag.

Below is the sample code. I am attaching the source that I modified here.

/* jboss.query
* signature="java.util.Collection ejbSelectByName(java.lang.String name)"

/**
* @ejb.select
* query="SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT(o) FROM Test o WHERE o.name = ?1"
* result-type-mapping="Remote"
*/
public abstract java.util.Collection ejbSelectByName(java.lang.String name) throws FinderException;

Hi all!

Thanx for the first usable getting started documentation!
I have done some posts to this forum and it is not much
help, Except for you guys of course!

I have some comments as well. I am running Jboss 3.2.1
and Jetty. I have been able to pass parts of your guide.
If you would like I can keep you posted, then you can
update the guide with Jetty stuff.

I have run into these problems (so far):

1) When configuring 3.2.1, it seems like the server does
not automatically put all jars in
jboss/server/all/deploy
to the server classpath. So I had to copy the
mysql-connector jar into the jboss/lib to get it
working.

2) The same goes for the first.jar. The FirstSession.jsp
cannot find these classes, they are not in the
classpath for jetty. I read the Jboss.org documentation
(The not working examples) and it said that if a
war wanted to access the J2EE beans in a ear/jar the
client classes should be packed into WEB-INF/lib,
so I added the first/dist/firstClient.jar to the
firstweb jar under WEB-INF/lib, then it worked.

- Are there better ways to do this, like changing the
Jboss classpath???

Hi,

a) For the mysql-jdbc driver, did you follow asahni's guide and put the jar file in /server/default/lib? It works for me... remember to tweak the mysql-ds.xml after that.

b) no problem to me with first.jar. i am attaching my copy of firstsession.jsp for u to compare if u want

Thanx for the ideas, after posting I started thinking ?)

a) Oops, sorry... I jumped the gun there. I saw later
today that when I ran /etc/init.d/jboss restart
it failed so that is probably why this did not work.
I have to rewrite the script that Jboss supplied,
it seems like it needs a "sleep" between the
shutdown commands and the start command.

b) This happends for the Jetty engine. The webpage
I can see when refering to the FirstSession.jsp
is jsp servlet compilation errors from "Jetty" saying
that it cannot find the classes TestSession,
TestSessionLocal etc. I cannot give you the answer
if the solution for a) solves this. I do not know
whether Jboss came into some strange state when
started in 2 instances. I cannot verify this until
after the weekend since the FAN to my "hack"
computer broke yesterday :(. I'll continue to report
problems as soon as it is up and running.

It will be great if you could add some advanced examples, e.g. CMR, in yr tutorial:)

Hi Guys
I'm trying out asahni's tutorial which is pretty good and easy to understand. However i cant seem to find the parser.jar and jaxp.jar files needed to complile the samples.

Does anyone know where i can find these files?

thx.

hi,
great document.
what would also be really useful to add is setting up hibernate with xdoclet and jboss.
i've recently done this and it took a while as there are pieces of documentation all over the place.
i include relevant parts of my ant build.xml if you'd like to use it :


<!-- =================================================================== -->
<!-- Invoke XDoclet's hibernate -->

the .sar needs to be deployed and bobs your uncle you can use hibernate ;-)
