Hello !!! I'm trying to deploy a BMP EJB. The server gets initialized and I can see the new deployed BMP Entity Bean in the orioin-ejb-jar.xml file.(I hope this means that the bean has been deployed...) My first question is that do we have to create a table ourself in case of BMP EJB...???? Well after a 2-3 failed deployments I created a table( so I guess that in case of BMP we have to first create a table....... anyway, I did) Now when I create the bean (i.e. try to add value to the database) Everything seems to be going fine. It refuses to take duplicate values... But when I look into the database I cannot see any data and the table is empty... If I restart the server (orion ofcourse) I can the same scene repeats... Where does Orion save the data, if it is not using any database...??? And wht exactly is going on..??? Where can I be wrong..??? Till now I happy working with CMPs and thought BMP might just be as easy... I cant figureout where am i stuck. I'm using Cloudscape as my database... The EJBClass file is like .... public AddUserBMPPK ejbCreate(int id,int age,String name){ //public AddUserBMPPK ejbCreate(int id,String address,int age,String email,String name,String phone){ this.id=id; this.name=name; this.age=age; //this.address=address; //this.email=email; //this.phone=phone; Connection con = null; Statement stmt = null; try{ con = this.getConnection(); stmt= con.createStatement(); String sql = "insert into AddUserBMPBean (id,name,age) values ('"+id+"','"+name+"','"+age+"')"; int bi = stmt.executeUpdate(sql); //ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery(sql); //sql = "insert into AddUserBMPBean (id,address,email,phone) values ('"+id+"','"+address+"','"+email+"','"+phone+"')"; //bi = stmt.executeUpdate(sql); AddUserBMPPK primKey = new AddUserBMPPK(); primKey.id = id; //System.out.println("ejbCreate( \"AddUserBMPPK\" int "+id+",String "+address+",int "+age+",String "+email+",String "+name+",String "+phone+")"); System.out.println("ejbCreate( \"AddUserBMPPK\" int "+id+",int "+age+",String "+name+")"); return primKey; //return primary key when using BMP }catch(SQLException se){ System.out.println("Exception in create line 49 .."+se.toString()); throw new EJBException(se); }//catch finally{ try{ if( stmt != null) stmt.close(); if( con != null) con.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); }//catch }//finally }//ejbCreate public void ejbLoad(){ AddUserBMPPK pk = (AddUserBMPPK) context.getPrimaryKey(); Connection con = null; Statement stmt = null; ResultSet rst = null; try{ con = this.getConnection(); stmt= con.createStatement(); String sql = "select id,name,age from AddUserBMPBean where id ="+pk.id; System.out.println("in ejbLoad of AddUserBMPBean"); rst = stmt.executeQuery(sql); if( rst.next() ){ id = rst.getInt("id"); name = rst.getString("name"); age = rst.getInt("age"); System.out.println(id+", "+name+", "+age); } else { throw new EJBException(); }//else }catch(SQLException se){ throw new EJBException(se); }//catch finally{ try{ if( stmt != null) stmt.close(); if( con != null) con.close(); if( rst != null) con.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); }//catch }//finally }//ejbLoad private Connection getConnection() throws SQLException { Connection connection; InitialContext initialContext = null; try { initialContext = new InitialContext(); } catch ( Exception ex ){ System.out.println( "-- Getting Initial Context --" ); ex.printStackTrace( System.err ); throw new EJBException( "getting Sequence InitialContext, " + ex.getMessage() ); }//catch String dsName = "jdbc/DefaultEJBHello"; try { DataSource ds = (DataSource) initialContext.lookup( dsName ); System.out.println( "-- (DataSource) initialContext.lookup( "+dsName+" ) --" ); return ds.getConnection(); }catch ( Exception ex ) { System.err.println( "-- looking up DataSource '" + dsName + "' --" ); ex.printStackTrace( System.err ); throw new EJBException( "looking up dsName '"+ dsName + "', " + ex.getMessage() ); }//catch } //getDBConnection ------------------------------------------------ The Deployment descriptor is:-- <entity> <description>First BMP EJB to add user to table PROFILEBEAN</description> <display-name>AddUserBMPBean</display-name> <ejb-name>AddUserBMPBean</ejb-name> <home>hello.BMPEntityBeans.AddUserBMPHome</home> <remote>hello.BMPEntityBeans.AddUserBMP</remote> <ejb-class>hello.BMPEntityBeans.AddUserBMPBean</ejb-class> <persistence-type>Bean</persistence-type> <prim-key-class>hello.BMPEntityBeans.AddUserBMPPK</prim-key-class> <reentrant>False</reentrant> </entity> ---------------------------------------------------------- The orion-ejb-jar.xml entry for this Bean is:-- <entity-deployment name="AddUserBMPBean" location="AddUserBMPBean" wrapper="AddUserBMPHome_EntityHomeWrapper21" table="AddUserBMPBean"> </entity-deployment> I desperately need some help...
