<ejb-ref> related question

[Yonatan Taub]

I've developed a stateful session ejb. It has the following entry in
"ejb-jar.xml":

...
<session>
<display-name>L2CustomerBroker</display-name>
<ejb-name>L2CustomerBroker</ejb-name>
<home>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerHome</home>
<remote>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBroker</remote>

<ejb-class>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerBean</ejb-class
>
<session-type>Stateful</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
<ejb-ref>

<ejb-ref-name>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerHome</ejb-re
f-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<home>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerHome</home>
<remote>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBroker</remote>
<ejb-link>L2CustomerBroker</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>
</session>
...

Its matching entry in "weblogic-ejb-jar.xml" is:

...
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>L2CustomerBroker</ejb-name>
<stateful-session-descriptor>
<stateful-session-clustering/>
<allow-concurrent-calls>true</allow-concurrent-calls> <!-- Is this
right?!! -->
</stateful-session-descriptor>
<transaction-descriptor/>
<reference-descriptor>
<ejb-reference-description>

<ejb-ref-name>com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerHome</ejb-re
f-name>
<jndi-name>L2CustomerBroker</jndi-name>
</ejb-reference-description>
</reference-descriptor>
<jndi-name>L2CustomerBroker</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
...

When a simple test application tries to locate the *L2CustomerBroker* bean
via:

...
context.lookup("com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBroker");
...

a NamingException is thrown:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve
'com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBrokerHome' Resolved: ''

com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.DeleteMe.main(DeleteMe.java:15)
Exception in thread "main"

What am I doing wrong?
I'm able to locate the home interface via the "usual" way (looking up
"L2CustomerBroker").

Hi Yonatan,

Replace

com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBroker

in ejb-ref-name with

ejb/com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBroker

and use

context.lookup("java:comp/ejb/com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2CustomerBr
oker");

in your code to look up the bean

Hopr this helps.

Hey Slava and Yonatan,

I think you mean
context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/com.brighthaul.ste.server.brokers.L2Custom
erBroker");

java:comp/env is the prefix for references

I've tried different combinations but failed.
Is it legal for a bean to refer to itself in the <ejb-ref>?
The lookup I'm performing is done from a standalone application. Does the
<ejb-ref> allow that or is it just for co-located beans on the server?

If you can provide me with some sample code I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for correction, I did mean java:comp/env/ejb.
