Business Delegate Pattern for Accessing Remote EJB
First let me say this is one of the best books on practical software engineering I have every encountered. I love this book and am completely sold on the framework code provide for building J2EE applications.
I have successfully implemented a Remote EJB which extends AbstractStatelessSessonBean and deployed it on JBOSS 3.0.8. I have written a Java application that successfully accesses and uses this Remote EJB. It uses a brute force means of accessing my Remote EJB.
I have taken the steps to utilize the Business Delegate Pattern as described on pages 423-425. I have create a Business Delegate Interface and a Business Delegate object that implements this interface and extends AbstractRemoteStatelessSessionServiceLocator. However, I am unable to make this work. My Business Delegate object never seems to get the callback on the afterPropertiesSet() method.
My intuition tells me I am missing an Application Context, also part of the infrastructure, for my Java application. My understanding is the Application Context infrastructure will allow me to configure my components for run-time access in the infrastructure. I'm at a real loss at the moment.
Any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Matthew Lumsden
PS The book does a good job describing the use of the framework for web applications but is lacking when it comes to utilizing it elsewhere.
