Here's a list of my environment settings:

Eclipse 2.1.1
JDK 1.4.1_05
JBoss 3.2.1
JBoss-IDE 1.2.0

Hi,

Looks like I found what the problem is.

Although, I followed the tutorial step by step (checked twice to ensure I did the exact same thing) and Eclipse displayed a "Deployment successful" message, I could see the following errors in the console when deploying:

14:19:22,259 INFO [EARDeployer] Init J2EE application: file:/C:/jboss-3.2.1/server/default/deploy/FiboApp.ear
14:19:25,825 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation:
Bean : Fibo
Section: 22.2
Warning: The bean provider must specify the fully-qualified name of the enterprise bean's local home interface, if any, in the <local-home> element.

14:19:25,845 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation:

Info : Class not found: tutorial.interfaces.FiboLocal
...

I searched for FiboLocal in my Tutorial directory and found that ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml in the META-INF folder had FiboLocal and FiboLocalHome 'definitions.' I removed those lines from the files, repackaged, and redeployed. Redeployment was succesful and I can now see http://localhost:8080/fibo.

With the exception of this little problem, I really like the tutorial. Very straightforward. :)

Thank you,

Hi Laurent,

Yes, the tutorial is great for getting me started.

I am attaching a picture of the subtasks I added to the ejbdoclet in my EJB XDoclet Configuration. My settings are the same as those described in the tutorial, yet when I Run XDoclet I get those local configurations in my ejb deployment descriptors.

So, I'm not sure what's going on. At least I can manually remove those lines so that's cool.

I have to say that after I was able to go to http://localhost:/8080/fibo and see the index page, clicking on Compute generated another error.

I saw the following message in my browser:
HTTP ERROR: 503 javax.servlet.ServletException: Lookup of java:/comp/env/ failed
RequestURI=/fibo/Compute

I debugged the application and saw that the error was thrown on the following line in the servlet:
Object ref = context.lookup("java:/comp/env/ejb/Fibo");

The Title was obtained just fine, but somehow the EJB cannot be obtained.

So, I kind of gave up at that point. :)
Thank you for replying to my post and if you have any ideas of why the servlet error occurs I'd really appreciate your sharing them with me.

Hi,

I found a fix. I stumbled onto this other topic:
http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t= mentioned an inconsistency in the EJB JNDI names in jboss.xml and jboss-web.xml.

So, that made me check my respective files. I found the following JNDI names:

"ejb/tutorial/Fibo" in jboss.xml

and

"Fibo" in jboss-web.xml

I'm not sure why I had this problem since the bean's jndi-name was set to "ejb/tutorial/Fibo" in both FiboBean.java and ComputeServlet.java.

Anyway, correcting jboss-web.xml got rid of the exception that was thrown on retrieving the bean. The application works well now.

Sometimes on Running XDoclet I still get those localFibo lines added to my XML files (weirdly, not every time), but I guess I can remove them manually if nothing else works.

Thanks Laurent. The tutorial is great. I'm already working on porting a pretty big application from WebSphere to JBoss, and going through your tutorial really helped me get the big picture. It made my life simpler. :)
