calling EJB from JSP in Web logic urgent please help me

[Mahendran Aiyappan]

In my project i have an EJB module and Web Module(JSP).

If i am calling the EJB from the ordinary client (Java Program) for some database related tasks it is working.

But i want the EJB should be called from the Web module.

Things i had done are :
1) I have created a Connection Pool.
2) I have created a Data Source
3) I have deployed the EJB module in the Deployments -> EJB Modules
4) I have deployed the Web module in the Deployments -> Web Application
Modules.
5) My JNDI name for the EJB is MyRemote
6) My JNDI name for the Data Source is RemoteDB


The following is the code snippet in the JSP file

Properties p=new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7001");
Context ctx=new InitialContext(p);
DataSource ds=(DataSource)ctx.lookup("RemoteDB");
Connection con=ds.getConnection();

I have called database directly also (for checking purpose).


To call the EJB i have written the following code snippet.


Properties pt=new Properties();
pt.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
pt.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7001");
Context ic=new InitialContext(pt);
Object objref=initial.lookup("MyRemote");

RemoteUserHome home=(RemoteUserHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,RemoteUserHome.class);
RemoteUser cfn1=home.create(serno,firstname,lastname,gender,id,password,security,ans,birth,Integer.parseInt(zip),code);

When i run the program the following error is occuring :

Compilation of 'C:\bea\user_projects\mydomain\.\myserver\.wlnotdelete\extract\myserver_remote_remote\jsp_servlet\__insertrecord.java' failed:

I think it's typo in your code.
Instead

initial.lookup(..)

it should be

ic.lookup(..)

And one more thing, when you can EJB from the WEB-APP you don't really have to provide Context parameter like PROVIDER_URL and INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, a simple

Context ic= new InitialContext()

should do.

[karthikeyan Chockalingam]

Apart from ic.lookup point, for compilation the web module needs EJB Home interface and Remote interface classes to be available on the classpath. You may have these files in a zip or jar file and add it to the server classpath.
