A tool you might want to look at is "ejbgen", available at:

www.beust.com/ejbgen

It is a pre-processor which creates all of the non-bean files for your EJB
including the remotes/locals, homes, and all three XML descriptors.  You write
a single "<xxx>Bean.java" file for each EJB and include javadoc comments
telling ejbgen what it needs to know to do its magic.

There is an active yahoo group for it (ejbgen).  I'm using the tool on a fairly
large (150+ CMP 2.0 Entity beans) project right now and it has performed very
well to date.

I uploaded to the weblogic-workbook group site in yahoo the file "gentry.jar"
which contains the ex07_1 example built using ejbgen.  Compare the number of
files, etc, with the regular ex07_1 example and you'll see why it's a very good
tool.  You'll need to download the ejbgen tool from Cedric's site and adjust
the build.xml file accordingly to match where you put it, but you should be
able to "ant ejbgen" and "ant dist" and build the exercise files.

Have fun.

Just a minor FYI tip...

I noticed that the testReferences() method never prints out
the "Names match!" message.

I found that this is because the DB (i'm
using CloudView) pads the name with trailing spaces so it is returned
as "Keel Korner                   ".  Comparing that with "Keel
Korner" fails, thus the "Names match!" message is never printed.

I believe many of the higher end Java IDE's can do what you are
looking for. I'm learning how to use TogetherSoft's ControlCenter and
it can create the deployment descriptor, etc.

WebLogic recommends using WebGain and you can download a trail copy
from BEA's website.

Was curious if your book has been reviewed in any of the Java
magazines such as Java Developers Journal?

Has it been endorsed by any industry recognized names such as Bill
Joy, Scott Ambler, Joshua Bloch, Doctor Java (JDJ) or others?

Hello,

It's not really related to the workbook, but I was wondering for a
long time how do I create ejb-jar.xml, weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml &
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml?

Is there any tools from BEA for handling these documents, tools that
is able to look in the Bean files, like in J2EE deployment tools?
Or should I manually type those xml files? I've just downloaded
XMLEditor from BEA but after I try it a while, I find it it's just a
plain XML editor.

Thank you very much in advance.

Make sure you use a TX datasource, not a regular datasource.  That's what I
used in my testing.

In the book I used a regular datasource, but have since come to learn that this
is never a good idea with EJBs.  It autocommits creates(), for example, despite
the JTA transaction not being committed yet.

Try it with a TXDataSource of the same name mapped to the same pool...

Greg, et. al. --

I'm not sure if this solution is working entirely properly. I am
getting weird results back from the getId() within the transaction. I
ran the client a bunch of times in a row...

Here are my results:

Run #1: Cabin ID=0
Database inserted record with ID #1
I got an error when I tried to findBy (can't findBy with 0 primary key)

Run #2: Cabin ID=1
Database inserted record with ID #2
Record #1 is updated by findBy

Run #3: Cabin ID=2
Database inserted record with ID #3
Record #2 is updated by findBy

...
...

Basically it looks like the getId() call inside of the transaction does
not necessarily return the NEWEST id. It usually returns the last id,
but a few times it even returned the one before that.

NOTE: the code I used matches the code you sent, except I needed to add
some more exception catches to get it to compile.

Any thoughts?

-Matt

Do You Yahoo!?

Interesting behavior I found with this..

Turns out you must have an explicit transaction around the create() method
and a quick getId() call to the bean to grab the primary key assigned during
the create process.  But, the bean reference itself cannot be used within
that transaction or after it to do anything without getting the primary key
not found problem.  You have to use findByPrimaryKey() again using the pk
you grabbed during the transaction to get a fresh reference.  Confusing?
Here's an updated version of my Client_41 example code that more-or-less
works with the IDENTITY primary-key-generation:

package com.titan.clients;

import com.titan.cabin.CabinHomeRemote;
import com.titan.cabin.CabinRemote;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.transaction.*; // new, needed for UserTransaction

public class Client_41_identity {
     public static void main(String [] args) {
         try {
             Context jndiContext = getInitialContext();
             Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("CabinHomeRemote");
             CabinHomeRemote home = (CabinHomeRemote)
     PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,CabinHomeRemote.class);

    UserTransaction tran =
(UserTransaction)jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");

    tran.begin();
     CabinRemote cabin_1 = home.create(new Integer(0));
     System.out.println("Id is: "+cabin_1.getId());
     Integer wow = cabin_1.getId();  // this actually returns the identity
value assigned by SQL*Server!!
     // attempts to use cabin_1 for any sets in here fails..
    tran.commit();

    try {
     cabin_1.setName("Master Suite"); // this fails also
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println("Caught and ignored error: "+e.getMessage());
    }

             CabinRemote cabin_1x = home.findByPrimaryKey(wow); // get a
reference using saved ID, this works
             cabin_1x.setName("Master Suite");
             cabin_1x.setDeckLevel(1);
             cabin_1x.setShipId(1);
             cabin_1x.setBedCount(3);

             CabinRemote cabin_2 = home.findByPrimaryKey(wow);
             System.out.println(cabin_2.getName());
             System.out.println(cabin_2.getDeckLevel());
             System.out.println(cabin_2.getShipId());
             System.out.println(cabin_2.getBedCount());

         } catch (java.rmi.RemoteException re){re.printStackTrace();}
           catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne){ne.printStackTrace();}
           catch (javax.ejb.CreateException ce){ce.printStackTrace();}
           catch (javax.ejb.FinderException fe){fe.printStackTrace();}
           catch (Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
     }

     public static Context getInitialContext()
         throws javax.naming.NamingException {

         Properties p = new Properties();
   p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
   p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001");
         return new javax.naming.InitialContext(p);
     }
}

Very surprised the "cabin_1" reference fails to work either inside or after
the transaction block..  Something fishy going on in the internal pk storage
of the bean it seems like.  Probably a WebLogic bug.  We posted this on the
BEA newsgroup and may get some feedback from them also.

Note that getId() needs to get added to the CabinRemote interface for this
to work (not in canned version of example).

Hope this helps.
-Greg

Subject: Re: [weblogic-workbook] unable to run Client_41 was CLASSPATH problem

Hello all,

I have the same problem running the first examples (ex04_01). This is an errors description from the log file:

####<6-Dec-01 6:30:37 EST PM> <Error> <JDBC> <cicero-4lkeb9st> <myserver> <main> <system> <> <001060> <Cannot startup connection pool "titan-pool" Cannot load driver class: COM.cloudscape.core.JDBCDriver>

Please ensure that the DataSource has been deployed successfully and that the JNDI name in your EJB Deployment descriptor is correct.

The Cloudscape database was created using CloudView. The Cabin table existed, the database  was not running separatelly. The cloudscape.jar was in CLASSPATH in the startWebLogic.cmd script.

I suspect, the errors are because I do not have the ejb20.jar file in the wlserver6.1\lib directory. It is written in the Weblogic workbook "If this file is absent, you will encounter run time errors when you try to deploy EJB 2.0 beans."
But I can not find a way to download the ejb20.jar file from the http://commerse.bea.com/downloads/products.jsp. I go to BEA Weblogic Server Downloads ... J2EE 1.2 Plus J2EE 1.3 Features ... Proceed to Download. At the end, I have a message " You are downloading WebLogic Server 6.1 with Servece Pack1. But there is not ejb20.jar file in weblogic610sp1_win.exe.

Please, tell me how to download the ejb20.jar file.

Thank you.

Viktor.

it is important to watch the log during boot to determine the root cause of a

Greg and all --

First, let me thank you for an excellent book and workbook. I really
like the workbook approach. Too often I spend my time trying to figure
out how to apply examples to my particular environment... this approach
really solves the problem.

I am using Weblogic 6.1 sp1 and SQL Server for my database. I have a
question based off of the Client_41 example.

I am usng Weblogic's automatic key generation to support having an
IDENTITY as my primary key in the CABIN table.

I have updated my weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml file to include the
following specification:

     <automatic-key-generation>
         <generator-type>SQL_SERVER</generator-type>
     </automatic-key-generation>

If I change my create method to not pass in an id, I can still
successfully create a new CABIN record using:

CabinRemote cabin_1 = home.create();

My question is: How do I figure out what primary key was used to create
the new record??? If I then try to do an update by calling
cabin_1.setName("Master Suite") I get an error that primary key 0 was
not found.

I know this is not directly specified in the workbook, but I was hoping
someone else had come across a similar problem.

Thanks in advance,
Matt Koidin

I got the exact same error.  I also noticed this error message in the
log window:

     Unable to deploy EJB: CabinEJB from titanejb.jar:

     The DataSource with the JNDI name: titan-dataSource
     could not be located. Please ensure that the
     DataSource has been deployed successfully and that
     the JNDI name in your EJB Deployment descriptor is
     correct.

The error message is a bit misleading, but I discovered that the
problem is that I still had CloudView open.  Somewhere in the book I
remember reading that you can only have one instance open at a time
due to the licensing.  Once i closed CloudView and then restarted the
server everything worked fine.

Hope that helps,

Did the "ant ejbjar" task complete without errors?

Did you perform the "ant dist" task to move the .jar file?

Is there a titanejb.jar file in your applications/titanapp directory?

If the answer to all of these questions is yes, what was in the log/server
output during boot?  Did you see any errors related to deploying the jar
file?   If so, send them to me (private email please).

Hi all,

Thank you for providing such forum, I'm sure it's gonna be
helpful for users.

I'm trying to deploy the weblogic's sourcecode that is bundled with
the workbook, and (as far as i know), have been following the
instruction, like creating ejbbook domain etc.

However, I'm stuck in running the first examples (ex04_01) in
workbook in page 78.
The result of running the client (Client_41) is:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException
Unable to resolve CabinHomeRemote. Resolved: ''
Unresolved:'CabinHomeInterface' ; remaining name ''

When i compare the jndi tree in my console window, it looks
different with the jndi tree in the workbook, in my window, no
CabinHomeRemote & titan-dataSource items displayed.
I've been searching what steps that I've missed but failed.

Could you please help?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, Greg!

1. Prob 2 is my mistake. I use WLS6.0 which doesn't have ant
included. And my
ant doesn't have the optional.jar in the lib dir. It's OK now.
2. Prob 1. I still can't figure it out.
This is the preconfigured oracPool:
Name: oraclePool
URL: jdbc:weblogic:oracle
Driver Class: weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver
Properties:
user=SCOTT
password=tiger
server=ORCL

I created a new dataSource:
Name: examples-dataSource-oraclePool
JNDI Name: examples-dataSource-oraclePool
poolName: oraclePool

I use this code to test it:

     Context ctx = new InitialContext();

     DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup ("examples-
dataSource-oraclePool");

Error message in log:
Service Error: java.sql.SQLException: java.sql.SQLException:
Connection Pool oraclePool does not exist.

Thanks a lot for your help!

The CUSTOMER table dedfinition on page 78 in the book is correct only for
SQL*Server, as it turns out. The correct datatype for the HAS_GOOD_CREDIT
field depends on the database:

Cloudscape:  boolean
Oracle: int
SQL*Server: bit
DB2 UDB: int

So strictly speaking the errata would have to indicate that the proper
datatype depends on the technology and either least them as shown above or
refer the reader to the .sql scripts in the download which are correct.

Note that the pre-created Cloudscape database provided in the download
works, and the cloudscape.sql script provided in the download uses the
"boolean" datatype.  It is only the book version of the create statement
which is wrong.

Thanks for the report, Don!

Thanks for your kind comments.

1. The oraclePool which is preconfigured in the examples domain during the
install provides a good example if you want to modify the demoPool to use
Oracle.  The definition in the config.xml looks something like:

     <JDBCConnectionPool CapacityIncrement="2"
         DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver" InitialCapacity="4"
         LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="10" Name="oraclePool"
         Password="{3DES}Y9jXl683KDY="
         Properties="user=SCOTT;server=DEMO" RefreshMinutes="10"
         ShrinkPeriodMinutes="15" ShrinkingEnabled="true"
         TestConnectionsOnRelease="false"
         TestConnectionsOnReserve="false" TestTableName="dual"
URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle"/>

Note that it uses the WebLogic jDriver for Oracle rather than the Oracle
Type-2 JDBC driver.

If you use the Oracle Type-2 JDBC driver the Driver Name and URL would
obviously be different (see Oracle's doc), you'd need to include the
appropriate Oracle OCI libraries in your PATH (NT) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Sun),
and you'd need the .jar or .zip file containing the Oracle Type-2 JDBC
drivers in your CLASSPATH.  Much easier to just use jDriver!

2. Make sure you execute the "setEnv" script before trying to make the
build.  The setEnv script sets your path and classpath to force the use of
the "ant" within WebLogic's /bin directory.  When you type "ant" now it is
probably trying to use a previously-installed version of ant on your machine
which does not include the optional "ejbjar" task.

Let me know how it goes.

First, I must admit this is a very good book and it helps a lot! I
really love it!
However, I have two questions as I reading and trying the examples.
1. pages 13-15(I read the onlive version)Configure the JDBC
connection pools. It says we can directly congigure the demoPool to
use other database drivers, for example, Oracle oci driver. When I
did so and rebooted the server, the log displayed exceptions that the
database driver could not be found(or something like that, I couldn't
remember vrey well).
   I think this is caused by the example applications(shipped with
weblogic) which use the preconfigured demoPool. After we change the
driver,etc about the demoPool, they could not find the right info. If
this is true, then we could not configure the demoPool or other pools
which are used by some applications. Am I right?

2. example ex04_1, build.xml does not work. When I type "ant dist",
it gives out this message(betwee star lines):
*********
Buildfile: build.xml

compile:

ejbjar:

BUILD FAILED

C:\titan\work_ejbbook_win\ex04_1\build.xml:33: Could not create task
of type: ejbjar. Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your
task, or, if this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the
lib directory of your ant installation (ANT_HOME).
************
I think it's because of JAR_NAME. Actually I don't know what this
item means.
This is in the property section in the build.xml:
  <property name="JAR_NAME" value="titanejb" />
this in the target section:
<ejbjar srcdir="${src}"
             descriptordir="."
             basejarname="${JAR_NAME}">(line 33)

How can I fix this problem?
Thank you very much for your time and attention!

Tiger

Yes that is indeed the problem. I created multiple pools for the
purpose of using different databases and then changing the pool name
in the data source.

Can you look in the server log file and send the error stack?

One possibility: Did you change the pool name?  The ViewDB.jsp page and it's
fellow direct-db-manipulation pages use the pool directly, rather than the
datasource, so if you changed the pool name that would make it fail.

If you send the exception trace from the log we'll figure it out.

Hi,

I am getting an HTTP 500 internal server error when I try and use the
dbview.jsp sample page. I cannot get any of its subpages to work
either if i hardcode the table variable.

Other JSP pages are working fine.

Any ideas as to why I would be getting this message or where I might
look to determine the error?

Thanks,

I'm up and running with WebLogic against SQL Server 2000. I'm finding
the Workbook to be extremely accurate. Nicely done!

positive feedback!

Excellent book, this quality you expect from Oreilly. I like the
approach of having the overview covered first(chapter 1-3) and then
digging into step-by-step coding.  I have tried another book
Professional-EJB by Wrox, but personaly I prefer the book from
Oreilly.

And this concept of having a sperate workbook is also excellent, this
frees-up carrying a huge book around, and download only the
server/platform you are intrested in.

Good job.

Examining the log he sent me pointed out a minor problem..

When I "jar"ed up the titanapp_empty.jar I accidently included a META-
INF directory with a manifest.mf file.

When you unzip or "jar xvf" the titanapp_empty.jar file to the
ejbbook/applications directory it creates the META-INF directory,
which WebLogic thinks is another application in the domain.  Ooops.

You should delete the META-INF directory from the
ejbbook/applications directory before booting the domain for the
first time.  Just delete this errant META-INF directory, not the
correct META-INF directory down in /titanapp containing
application.xml!

We'll fix the download to not include the META-INF/manifest.mf file
in it, but "jar xvf" still creates the empty META-INF directory.

Everything looks fine until the line:
<23/10/2000 14h42min33s BRST> <Info> <HTTP> <Initializing WEB server
myserver>
I don't recognize that message, or the following warning about having
no components.  They don't occur for me.

Can you please:

1) Send me (private email at nyberg@...) the contents of your
config.xml file.
2) Delete all temporary directories WebLogic may have created in the
applications area and try again.

Do you still have the "DefaultWebApp" directory in the "applications"
directory?

Which version/servicepack are you using?

Thanks.
