RE: [JBoss-user] general deployment question
Concerning the ejb-link The EJB2.0 spec clearly states (20.3.2) that ...the target enterprise bean can be in any ejb-jar file in the same J2EE application as the referencing application component. Exactly the same is in J2EE 1.3 spec (J2EE.5.3.2) According to me this means, in the same EAR! This is exactly what I wanted for my application, but it doesn't seems to work in JBoss 3.0.0 (beta2) (see my posting on Friday)!!! Eric just mentioned he got it to work in JBoss (which version please?) and I'm very curious about it! So maybe you can give me a hint on how I can get it to work in JBoss? Feel sorry for you 'bout Borland ;-) Sam.

For historical reasons we organized each entity bean (along with home and remote interfaces and primary key class) into a jar. Same with the session beans. In the deployment descriptors, we used the ejb-link tag to identify ejb references, even though the references were not in the same jar. Again, this was because the documentation at the time on all this stuff was not very good and we just had examples to go off of. Somehow, we get away with this in jboss, even though it's not correct to use ejb-link for references outside of a jar. Note, all the jar files, and there are about 30 now, are packaged into an ear. We then have a jboss.xml per jar which basically defines any jdbc references we may have as well as declares the jndi names for each of the beans in the ejb-jar.xml. We have a client who insists on using borland's app server (let's not get into why here...) and borland is choking, and i think rightly so, because the ejb-link references are to beans outside of the jar. My question is, why was i able to get away with this in jboss. In a related area, we have a fair number of helper classes that all these beans use (base classes for our beans, data structures to hold the data passed back to the client apps, etc.). Right now, we add jar files holding these classes, as well as third party jars, to the jboss classpath. Is this the right thing to do, or is the right thing to stuff these helper classes into each jar (or the ear file)... I apologize if this question seems basic, but we've spent more time just trying to make things work and less trying to understand every single aspect of this. Things are calming down a bit right now and I'd like to reexamine our approach here. Most of the documentation out there deals with relatively simple applications, or gets bogged down with discussions of war files, etc. (we're not a web app, at least not yet). Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. As I've said, we've managed to get all this to work, though I think we have some configuration issues yet to deal with.

RE: [JBoss-user] ejb-local-ref from an MDB to an Entity in the same EAR, but diffe rent ejb jars (jboss 3.0.0beta2)
Indeed, I got it to work with ejb-ref and hence remote interfaces even in different jars, and as I recall that means the jboss.xml contained the JNDI name of the referenced remote home interface BUT... why do we have local interfaces for!? I tought to speed up intra-JVM calls and since my referencing and referenced beans are running in the same JBoss server, I want to use ejb-local-ref and that I still didn't get to work.

To Sam: Have you figured it out? The cause could be the beans are in different jars and you use ejb-local-ref. It should work in case of remote interfaces and: ejb-ref in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml or place your beans in the same jar file and use ejb-local-ref. To all: Mastering EJB II says about ejb-link this: ... The ejb-name of the bean we're referring to. Note: You can also refer to beans in different jar file, by using a syntax such as ../products/product.jar#ProductEJB. How should it be applied to JBoss? If there is declaration of ejb-ref in ejb-jar.xml and neither of ejb-ref in jboss.xml and ejb-link in ejb-jar.xml is specified, jboss complains that either ejb-ref in jboss.xml or ejb-link in ejb-jar.xml must be specified. I've made to jar files each containing one SLSB with remote interfaces. ReferencingBean references ReferencedBean and calls its method. Declaring ejb-ref in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml it works. But when I tried to use ejb-link in ejb-jar.xml instead of ejb-ref in jboss.xml it said me this: 2002-03-11 11:17:10,207 DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionContainer] Binding an EJBReference ejb/Referenced 2002-03-11 11:17:10,207 DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionContainer] Binding ejb/Referenced to internal JNDI source: referenced-ejb.jar#ReferencedBean 2002-03-11 11:17:10,207 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionContainer] Exception in service lifecyle operation: create org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Bean referenced-ejb.jar#ReferencedBean not found within this application.

[JBoss-user] CMP2.0 - CMR-fields sometimes (reproduceable!) not persisted in DB (jboss3.0.0beta)?
Hi there, I'm puzzled, am I overlooking something here, or is this a bug. jboss 3.0.0beta, JDK1.3.0, mySQL 3.23.47, mm-mysql-2.0.11, WinNT 4.0 SP6a I have a simple scheme, 2 entity beans (CMP), A (Workplace) and B (Booking), related One to Many, like A*B, and a session bean C (Booker) which act as a session facade to create B objects that need to be related to A objects. B has a CMR field, theA (theWorkplace). There is a create method for B in BLocalHome, which takes as an argument (a.o.) an ALocal. In B's ejbCreate I set the CMP-fields, in ejbPostCreate I set the CMR field theA. The create method of BLocalHome is called from within the session bean C, giving me as returnvalue a BLocal object. This is the setup, now the problem. When my session bean C creates the B (and tries to link it to the A) and doesn't do anything more after that (simply returns), the database doesn't get updated, no UPDATE sql statement in the jboss-log to set the FK-column B.theA to A's PK!
