Misterious problem calling remote EJB3 on Websphere 7

[ismael cabanas]

Hi, i have two ears deployed in the same server, Websphere 7. One EAR contain my EJBs3 and the other EAR contain a web application, and i want to try to call remote EJBs through annontation and JNDI lookup.

In the web application EAR, i have the following Servlet:

package org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.web.servlet;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.dominio.Producto;
import org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.ProductoSessionFacade;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class ProductoServlet extends HttpServlet {

	@EJB(name="EJB/ProductoSessionFacade")
	private ProductoSessionFacade productoSessionFacade;
	
	private ProductoSessionFacade productoSessionFacadeJndi;	
	
	@Override
	protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
			throws ServletException, IOException {
		String path = req.getRequestURI();
		
		if(path.indexOf("/producto/index") != -1){
			req.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsp/producto/index.jsp").forward(req, resp);			
		}
		else if(path.indexOf("/producto/alta") != -1){
			req.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsp/producto/alta.jsp").forward(req, resp);
		}		
	}

	@Override
	protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
			throws ServletException, IOException {
		Producto producto = obtenerProductoDeRequest(req);
		
		try{
			System.out.println("INYECCIÓN");
			productoSessionFacade.alta(producto);
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			System.out.println("Error en INYECCIÓN");
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
		
		try{
			System.out.println("JNDI");
			//productoSessionFacadeJndi = (ProductoSessionFacade) buscarJndi("ejb/prueba-concepto-ejbs-ear/prueba-concepto-ejbs.jar/ProductoSessionFacadeEjb#org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.ProductoSessionFacade");
			//productoSessionFacadeJndi = (ProductoSessionFacade) buscarJndi("ejb/prueba-concepto-ejbs-ear/prueba-concepto-ejbs.jar/ProductoSessionFacadeEjb#org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.ProductoSessionFacade");
			productoSessionFacadeJndi = (ProductoSessionFacade) buscarJndi("java:comp/env/EJB/ProductoSessionFacade");
			productoSessionFacadeJndi.alta(producto);
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			System.out.println("Error en JNDI");
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

	private Producto obtenerProductoDeRequest(HttpServletRequest request){
		Producto producto;
		
		String nombre = request.getParameter("nombre");
		String descripcion = request.getParameter("descripcion");
		
		producto = new Producto(nombre, descripcion);
		
		return producto;
	}
	
	private Object buscarJndi(String jndiName){
		try{
			Context ctx = new InitialContext();
			return ctx.lookup(jndiName);
		}
		catch (NamingException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
		return null;
	}
	
}

And, in the EAR containing EJBs i have the following Session Stateless bean and his remote interface:

package org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.impl.ejb;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

import org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.dominio.Producto;
import org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.ProductoSessionFacade;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

@Stateless
public class ProductoSessionFacadeEjb implements ProductoSessionFacade{

	private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ProductoSessionFacadeEjb.class);
	
	@Override
	public void alta(Producto producto) {
		logger.info("Dar de alta el producto.");
	}

	
}

package org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

import org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.dominio.Producto;

@Remote
public interface ProductoSessionFacade {
	
	void alta(Producto producto);
}

Ok, if i deploy the two ears in the server and execute the servlet, it works well, i get the EJBs by the two ways (annontation and JNDI lookup), and i get the expected trace (a simple text in the console):

00000019 servlet       I com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper init SRVE0242I: [prueba-concepto-ejbs-web-ear] [/prueba-concepto-ejbs-web] [Producto Servlet]: Inicialización satisfactoria.
00000019 SystemOut     O INYECCIÓN
00000019 SystemOut     O JNDI
00000019 SystemErr     R 156 [WebContainer : 0] INFO org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.impl.ejb.ProductoSessionFacadeEjb - Dar de alta el producto.
00000019 SystemErr     R 156 [WebContainer : 0] INFO org.icabanas.pruebaconcepto.facade.impl.ejb.ProductoSessionFacadeEjb - Dar de alta el producto.

But now, if i restart the EAR containing de web application, it doesn't work fine, i get the EJB annotated but i can't get the EJB through JNDI lookup and get the following trace:

[5/01/12 15:00:38:961 CET] 0000001a servlet       I com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper init SRVE0242I: [prueba-concepto-ejbs-web-ear] [/prueba-concepto-ejbs-web] [Producto Servlet]: Inicialización satisfactoria.

What's wrong?, any idea?

Thanks in advanced!
