cannot retrieve stateless bean using JNDI

[Lucas Smith]

Hi,

I want to get the stateless bean using JNDI lookup. I use Netbeans 7.0.1 and Glassfish 3.1. I create the EJB module and then I deploy it. The log from glassfish:
INFO: Portable JNDI names for EJB NewSessionBean1 : [java:global/EJBModule2/NewSessionBean1!test.NewSessionBean1, java:global/EJBModule2/NewSessionBean1]
INFO: Instantiated an instance of org.hibernate.validator.engine.resolver.JPATraversableResolver.
INFO: EJBModule2 was successfully deployed in 103 milliseconds.

My bean class:

package test;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class NewSessionBean1 {
    public String getMessage(){
        return "Hello!";
    }
}

Then, I create the client class in the same EJB module and I perform the lookup:

public class BeanClient {
    public static void main (String ... args) throws Exception {
        Context context = new InitialContext();
        context.lookup("java:global/EJBModule2/NewSessionBean1");       
    }    
}

and I get the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException: Communication exception for SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl} [Root exception is java.rmi.MarshalException: CORBA BAD_PARAM 1398079494 Maybe; nested exception is:

at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)

In the book EJB3.1 by Rubinger and Burke there was no mention about that the Bean must be serializable.
Anyway, I change the class:

package test;

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class NewSessionBean1 implements Serializable {
    public String getMessage(){
        return "Hello!";
    }

And this time I get the error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException: Communication exception for SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl} [Root exception is java.rmi.RemoteException: CORBA DATA_CONVERSION 1398079489 No; nested exception is:

I hane no idea about this problem.
EJB is so weird!

[Anastasia Klimchuk]

I have a feeling that bean annotation @LocalBean is a variation of a Local view (local interface).
But here a remote lookup is performed (client is outside a container). Maybe this is the cause of contradiction.

I have no experience with EJB 3.1, so I'm not sure ... is it possible to add a Remote interface for NewSessionBean1?

[Lucas Smith]

I have overcome some exceptions, but I Have this one now:

I fill the success is close. Can anyone help me?

[Piotr Nowicki]

You are trying to reach the no-interface view bean from another JVM (as I assume that the standalone client is an another JVM instance).
The local and no-interface view beans are to be accessed only within the same JVM and the same application.

Can you try creating a remote business interface and accessing it through the JNDI?

Cheers!

[Lucas Smith]

Defining @Remote interface helped and everything works fine.

I have used JNDI lookup through context.lookup("....");

But I wonder what will be the lookup path when EJB container lives on the other host with different IP. How can I lookup such EJB?

[Piotr Nowicki]

Well, that's the part of the JNDI context configuration.
Do you have any jndi.properties file in your classpath? In this file (or programmatically configuring the InitialContext) you can define such things and a lot of other properties. Two links just of the top of the google results:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/beyond/env/source.html
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.servertools.doc/topics/rwtcprop.html

Glassfish doesn't require you to specify the jndi properties. Instead you should use the: http://glassfish.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB_FAQ.html#StandaloneRemoteEJB
(step 4).

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

[Lucas Smith]

Thanks for replying.

I want to say the the problem had two bottoms.

The solution of:
CORBA DATA_CONVERSION 1398079489
is described here:
https://coderanch.com/t/554443/java/glassfish-netbeans-big-bug#2515594

The solution of the second exception is the use of @Remote.

[Lucas Smith]

I want to to add that the exception:
SEVERE: IIOP1005: An exception has occured in the ejb security initialization.

was caused by...

wrong classpath order.

When you want to get EJB from Glassfish from a standalone client you have to have gf-client.jar in your client's class path. But there are more libraries: Java EE 6 API Library (javaee-api-6.0.jar). It is extremely important that gf-client.jar should be placed before javaee-api-6.0.jar. Otherwise you will end up with the exception SEVERE: IIOP1005: An exception has occured in the ejb security initialization during execution:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
        ctx.lookup("...");

I hope that will help!
Cheers!
