Dear All,
 i m new to EJBs. Actually i have developed my own web-container(Servlet engine),and now i want to switch to EJBs. But i have problem deploying EJBs on Weblogic server. if anyone can help me, please mail me a deployed version of EJB with clear instructions about how to deploy this Bean and how to run client. I'll be thankful to you. My e-mail address is: malik_maltaf@hotmail.com

I am using: weblogic server 5.10
Win XP professional
jdk 1.3

Thank you.
Altaf Malik

Hi Altaf Malik

Find the code attached herewith which would help u to run a simple stateless session bean in weblogic server 6.0. Get back to me if u find any difficulties on this

1. Create following files.

    Demo -> Remote Interface

    DemoHome -> Home Interface

    DemoEJb -> Bean

    In a separate pakcage. Move all the files to application/ejb directory.


    package demoejb;

    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    import java.rmi.Remote;
    import javax.ejb.*;
    public interface Demo extends EJBObject, Remote {
        public String demoSelect() throws RemoteException;
    }

    // Home interface

    package demoejb;

    import javax.ejb.*;
    import java.rmi.Remote;
    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    import java.util.*;

    public interface DemoHome extends EJBHome {
        public Demo create() throws CreateException, RemoteException;
    }

    // Bean

    package demoejb;
    import javax.ejb.*;
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.rmi.*;

    public class DemoBean implements SessionBean {
      static final boolean verbose = true;
      private SessionContext ctx = null;
      public void ejbActivate() {}
      public void ejbRemove() {}
      public void ejbPassivate() {}
      public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx) {
        this.ctx = ctx;
      }
      public void ejbCreate () {}
      public String demoSelect()  throws RemoteException{
        return("hello world");
        }
    }

Create Ejb-jar and Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml files and move the files to application\ejb\META-INF dir.

    ***Ejb-jar.

    <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1//EN'  'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/ejb-jar_1_1.dtd'>

    <ejb-jar>

    </ejb-jar>

    ***Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

    <weblogic-ejb-jar>

    </weblogic-ejb-jar>


1. Open the server console.

2. Open Application/ejb node

3. Edit Ejb Descriptor

    Click : Configure a new Enterprise Bean

        EJBName : DemoEjb

        JNDI Name : demoejb.DemoHome

    Click : EnterPriseBean/Session/ Configure a new Session.

        EJBName : DemoEjb

        Home  : demoejb.DemoHome

        Remote : demoejb.Demo

        Ejb Class: demoejb.DemoBean

        Session Type : Stateful

        Transcation : Container.

4. Validate and Persist the bean ( Which will update ejb-jar and weblogic-ejb-jar xml files. )



Create a new JSP to invoke ejb method.

    <%@ page import="demoejb.*"%>
    <%@ page import="javax.ejb.*"%>
    <%
    Demo ob = (Demo) ((DemoHome)  EJBHomeFactory.getFactory().lookUpHome(DemoHome.c lass)).create();
    String str = ob.demoSelect();
    out.println(str);
%>

5. Save and run the jsp.

    EJBHomeFactory ( Reusable Class).

    package demoejb;
    import javax.ejb.*;
    import java.rmi.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.naming.*;
    public class EJBHomeFactory {
        private Map    ejbHomes;
        private static EJBHomeFactory aFactorySingleton;
        Context    ctx;
        private EJBHomeFactory()  throws NamingException {
        String  strUrl = "t3://localhost:7001";
            Properties objProp = new Properties();
            objProp.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,    "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
            objProp.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, strUrl);
            ctx = new InitialContext(objProp);
            this.ejbHomes = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap());
            }
        public static EJBHomeFactory getFactory()throws NamingException {

            if (EJBHomeFactory.aFactorySingleton == null) {
                    EJBHomeFactory.aFactorySingleton = new EJBHomeFactory();
            }
            return EJBHomeFactory.aFactorySingleton;
            }
        public EJBHome lookUpHome(Class homeClass)  throws NamingException {

            EJBHome anEJBHome = (EJBHome) this.ejbHomes.get(homeClass);
            if (anEJBHome == null) {
                anEJBHome = (EJBHome)  javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ctx.lookup( homeClass.getName()),
                    homeClass);
                this.ejbHomes.put(homeClass, anEJBHome);
            }
        return anEJBHome;
            }
    }

Application Directory Structure.

ApplicationName
    Deploy
        ejb
            META-INF (ejb-jar and weblogic-ejb-jar)
        web
            jsp
            WEB-INF
                classes (web.xml and weblogic.xml)
        META-INF (Application.xml)

Hi,

Thanks a lot.

I am using WebLogic 6.1 in development mode and have my EJB/Servlet/JavaBean classes & all others in exploded format in the weblogic mydomain/applications folder. But when I try to deploy the EJBs, I get Deployment Exception. I have done everything as per Weblogic 6.1 doc.

Please inform me about possible ways, if anybody have deployed EJBs in exploded format in WebLogic 6.1.

Regards,
Abhijit

hi,
In weblogic 5.1 you will find a weblogic.properties file in home directory. There you register your ejb and then again start the server. First try out some in built examples by uncommenting relevent lines in properties file. If it does not work out let me know. I will tell you tell step by step
Cheers
