Apache NetBeansHow to call EJB from NetBeans module
This How-To is based on GlassFish EJB Faq
How to call EJB from Java EE Application Client built on top of NetBeans Platform
Important: Application Client must be created as it is described in Java EE Application Client on top of the NetBeans Platform Tutorial otherwise this will not work
-
create lookup method in some class in your module
-
add entry to
application-client.xmlin application client module
Example
-
for following lookup method in some class from your module:
protected mypkg.MySessionBeanRemote lookupMySessionBean() {
try {
javax.naming.Context c = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
return (mypkg.MySessionBeanRemote) c.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/MySessionBean");
} catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE,"exception caught" ,ne);
throw new RuntimeException(ne);
}
}
-
there must be following entry in
application-client.xml:
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/MySessionBean</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<remote>mypkg.MySessionBeanRemote</remote>
</ejb-ref>
How to call EJB from standalone module/NB platform based application
Call EJB on GlassFish
-
ensure that $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-rt.jar, $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-ext.jar, $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-deployment-client.jar, $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/javaee.jar, $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/jmxremote_optional.jar are on NB platform based application’s classpath (startup classpath is not enough)
-
ensure that the same applies to jar with EJB interfaces and its helper classes
-
when using jars from GlassFish v1 or v1u1 - disable assertions (due to bug in GlassFish which should be fixed in GlassFish v2)
-
add org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost and org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort JVM options to application’s startup JVM options
-
use lookup
Example
-
add:
run.args.extra=-J-da -J-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=localhost -J-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700 \
-cp:a $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-rt.jar:$GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-ext.jar:\
$GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-deployment-client.jar:$GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/javaee.jar:\
$GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/jmxremote_optional.jar:someejb.jar
to module suite project.properties
-
add javaee.jar and jar with ejb interfaces to compile time dependencies for your module
-
create lookup method for your bean in some class in your module:
// for EJB 3.0 bean
protected mypkg.MyBeanRemote lookupMyBeanRemote30 throws NamingException {
javax.naming.Context ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
return (mypkg.MyBeanRemote) ic.lookup("mypkg.MyBeanRemote");
}
// for EJB 2.1 and/or earlier
protected mypkg.MyBeanRemote lookupMyBeanRemote21 throws NamingException {
javax.naming.Context ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
Object remote = c.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean");
mypkg.MyBeanRemoteHome rv = (mypkg.MyBeanRemoteHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(remote, mypkg.MyBeanRemoteHome.class);
return rv.create();
}
