External Entity Problem w/ ejb-jar.xml

I cannot figure out nor find how to have the ejb-jar.xml refer to external entities
so that it doesn't get overly large and unmanageable. Note: our "shared-ejb-jar.xml"
gets converted into "ejb-jar.xml" inside of a deployed shared.jar file.
The shared-ejb-jar.xml file contains:
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans
2.0//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd'
<!ENTITY SatelliteExt SYSTEM "satellite-ext.xml">
]>
........XML code.........
&SatelliteExt;
........XML code.........
The satellite-ext.xml file is in the same directory and contains the XML to describe
a single <entity>...</entity>.
I use ant to compile and receive this error:
C:\jist\bin\build.xml:74: SAXException while parsing 'shared-ejb-jar.xml'. This
probably indicates badly-formed XML. Details: Relative URI "satellite-ext.xml";
can not be resolved without a document URI.
Any help will be most appreciated.

Problem is resolved. Thanks for looking over this thread.

Weblogic 7 SP2 - problem in ejb-jar.xml

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to move from Weblogic 7 to 7 SP2. In some of our
ejb-jar.xml descriptors we have something like the following:
<!ENTITY ENTITY_PROP SYSTEM "Config/entity_config.txt">
then used this later on in the descriptor:
<env-entry-value>&ENTITY_PROP;</env-entry-value>
In all previous versions this would work fine with the Config directory sat in
the domain directory but when we are trying to move to SP2 the ejb's are failing
at deployment time with errors like:
weblogic.xml.process.XMLParsingException: File "zip://C/bea/user_projects/mydomain/myserver/.wlnotdelete/ScanServer/MkpCodeServerEJB.jar!/META-INF/Config/entity_config.txt"
not found. - with nested exception:
[org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: File "zip://C/bea/user_projects/mydomain/myserver/.wlnotdelete/ScanServer/MkpCodeServerEJB.jar!/META-INF/Config/entity_config.txt"
not found.].....
What has changed? What can I do to solve the problem?
thank you,
Ian

Use of externally-defined/ in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

I am trying to use Global Roles defined via the Weblogic console to control access to EJB methods.
I am using the <externally-defined/> tag in security role assignments, however when I deploy to Weblogic I get the following error :

I am running Weblogic 8.1 SP3 on Windows XP Pro.
The XML is valid for the specified DTD according to my XML editor.
The relevevant fragment from weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is included below.
Any help much appreciated.
Gavin.

<security-role-assignment>

<externally-defined/>
</security-role-assignment>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>

I tried using the <global-role/> tag instead - this does deploy without any errors - but when I call the secure EJB method I get the Security Violation error below.
The DTD says using the <global-role/> tag is fine, albeit deprecated, but the Weblogic 8.1 manual says this has been replaced by <externally-defined/>, so I'm not sure if this should work or not.
[EJB:010160]Security Violation: User: 'ghughes' has insufficient permission to access EJB: type=<ejb>, application=_appsdir_mars-marketdata_ear, module=ejb-marketdata.jar, ejb=marketdata.MarketDataManager, method=getEnergyOverview, methodInterface=Remote, signature={java.util.Date}.
So on the whole I'd prefer to work out why Weblogic isn't recognising <externally-defined/> - I've included the full deployment descriptor below - I'm generating it using the latest snapshot of XDoclet - is the DTD specified correct for Weblogic 8.1 SP3 ? (It matches the one specified in http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ejb/DDreference-ejb-jar.html - but I can't think of anything else that could be wrong).
Any tips much appreciated as I need to enable an administrator to customise these roles at runtime rather than hard-coding the role - group mappings into the deployment descriptors.
Thanks,
Gavin.

Problem with ejb-jar.xml created with ejbgen.

Hi! ,
I m using ejbgen for creating interfaces for my bean nut i m facing a problem which is suppose i have beans in different folders and i m using ejbgen for each folder containing beans.Now the problem is i m using ejbgen under one target in build.xml so wht happens is when ejb-jar.xml is generated it contains entry for the last folder beans and overrides other beans entry in different folder . i need some way so tht ejb-jar.xml keeps appending for every ejbgen is called.
Thanks in advance....... :-)
warm regards,
Sourabh Singh

My temporary workaround is copy all beans from different directory trees to one temporary directory, and create one FileSet in Ant.

Ejb-jar.xml for a file adapter in 710

Hi,
we moved our file adapter from 700 to 710. Now there is a problem in ejb-jar.xml. There are entries like this:
<session>
<description></description>
<display-name></display-name>
<icon/>
<ejb-name>FileActConversionToSWIFTModuleBean</ejb-name>
<home>com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleHome</home>
<remote>com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleRemote</remote>
<local-home>com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleLocalHome</local-home>
<local>com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleLocal</local>
<ejb-class>com.sapcons.xi.swift.FileActConversionToSWIFTModuleBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
The error messages are like this:
Bean Interfaces: stateless bean "FileActConversionToSWIFTModuleBean" should have at least one of the following interface pairs: "local" and "local-home", "home" and "remote" or service endpoint interface
Bean Interfaces: The home interface "com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleHome" cannot be found in the search path.
What is wrong? The interfaces ModuleHome etc. seem not to be here any more. Which interfaces should be entered in ejb-jar.xml for release 710?
Thanks and regards, Marina

Hi,
yes, there is a module for file adapter. Some modifications were implemented, too. I can imagine that something was forgotten. It is possible to do the build, to deploy and to test the adapter, even if there are errors in ejb-jar.xml .
Is there a list which things that changed between 700 and 710?
I have these 2 links with useful information:
[Developing Adapters and Modules|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/8b/895e407aa4c44ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm ]
[Javadoc PI 7.1 (Adapter, Module and Mapping Development)|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/index.html]
Is there further information for this topic?
Thanks and regards, Marina

Deployment Plan / weblogic-ejb-jar.xml: Problem

Hello,
I am trying to use a deployment plan to override the principal name in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
The deployment-plan looks like this (showing only the important sections)
<variable-definition>
<variable>
<name>SecurityRoleAssignment_ejbRole_PrincipalNames_1</name>
<value>MY PRINCIPAL 1</value>
</variable>
</variable-definition>
<variable-assignment>
<name>SecurityRoleAssignment_ejbRole_PrincipalNames_1</name>
<xpath>/weblogic-ejb-jar/security-role-assignment/[role-name="View-Role"]/externally-defined</xpath>
<operation>replace</operation>
</variable-assignment>
The security-role assignment in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml looks like this:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>View-Role</role-name>
<externally-defined/>
</security-role-assignment>
I 've tried to override the element-value of <externally-defined> (a valid tag in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml ) with help of a deployment-plan.
When trying to deploy my application (which is organised in the directory-structure: inst_dir/APP inst_dir/PLAN
the following error occurs:
VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element 'principal-name@http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/10.0' instead of 'externally-defined@http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/10.0' here in element security-role-assignment@http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/10.0:
This has surprised me, as externally-defined is (according to the documentation) a valid tag.
I have tried to replace <externally-defined> with an empty <principal-name> tag (which works fine when deploying the application), but causes a security exception, when trying to use the EJB.
Has anybody an idea if there is a workaround for this problem?
IMHO the Validatio Problem is not justified at this place then why should an otherwise valid weblogic-ejb-jar.xml (when not using a deployment-plan) suddenly become invalid when a deployment plan is used?
Thanx a lot in advance!

Searching the net couldn't supply me with another answer as to use the 90 Namespace Declaration again...
I think I forgot to mention I am using an exploded directory.
This all seems very strange.
cheers.

Do I must include orion-ejb-jar.xml in my CMP entity bean?

Deal all:
I've had a problem about deployment of my CMP entity bean.
I don't know if I need to include orion-ejb-jar.xml in the jar
file? Could anyone tell me what files I should include them in
jar file and what config file(like data-sources.xml) I should
modify them?
Thanks!!

The orion-ejb-jar.xml is not necessary...oc4j/orion auto-
generates this configuration file when the application is
deployed. You would only need this file if you are using o-r
mapping, or changing some deployment time option with your ejb.
The config/data-sources.xml file is used by the container. If
you are using oracle, you will need to use the data-sources.xml
for your database (the path needs the proper database name, and
server host, and you will need to put in the password and
username). Use the example with the oc4j docs to help you, or
the one already in your config directory.

this ejb-jar.xml only contains entries for session beans? where did the entries for entity beans went?Ive written XDoclet tags for the Entity Bean as what ive posted above....help!!!

you comment the generation of CMP entity beans out :
build.xml:
replace

with
<entitycmp/>i've already removed the comments of the tag <entitycmp> and yet the resulting ejb-jar.xml contains no <entity> tags....i'm just wondering how can i include the generation of entity tags (not only session tags) in the resulting ejb-jar.xml

Problem deploying connector: META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file

 Has anyone seen this problem:
 I built Sun's Blackbox implementation and packaged
 it identical to the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included with
 Weblogic's 'jconnector' sample (even using the same
 ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml). When I try to deploy
 it, the server reports:
 java.io.FileNotFoundException:
 META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file
 I have no idea why the server thinks my connector
 is an EJB. If I deploy the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included
 with the sample, everything works without a hitch.
 The only variable that I'm changing in my BlackBoxNoTx.rar
 is that I build the Blackbox classes myself--otherwise,
 the RAR packagings are identical. Any assistance is
 greatly appreciated since I'm banging my head against
 a wall...
 Thanks,
 -jason


 I was finally able to resolve this one. On the odd chance that someone else encounters
 the same problem, here's what went wrong:
 My RAR file had two directories: 'META-INF' and 'meta-inf'. The first was created
 by the jar tool and contained the manifest.mf file. The second I created manually
 and it contained my ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml. When I examined the RAR using
 any tools or I extracted the contents, it looked like it only contained one directory:
 META-INF (because NT is case-insensitive).

Query about reentrant in ejb-jar.xml file(in case of entity Bean)

Hi all friends,
I am new to EJB I couldn't understand in ejb-jar.xml file in case Entity Bean[<reentrant>False</reentrant>
&<reentrant>true</reentrant>]what is the function of this tag and what is the effect of value true and false of this tag.Can any one please explain it.
Regards
Bikash

Hi,
Re-entrant tag is used in the ejb-jar.xml to notify the container if you would want your bean to call itself through another bean.
Most of the time you would want it to be set to FALSE because you would have to consider the multi-threading issues if you set it TRUE.

Meka Toka

What are the necessary elements in ejb-jar.xml with CMP entity bean

What are the necessary elements in ejb-jar.xml with CMP entity bean
Actually i am using webligic 8.1 and while deployment getting the error that
some elements r missing
Thanks
Anand Pritam

According to the ejb-jar.xml dtd ejb-name, ejb-class, persistence-type, prim-key-class, reentrant are the required elements for an entity bean.
<!ELEMENT entity (description?, display-name?, small-icon?,
 large-icon?, ejb-name, home?, remote?, local-home?,
 local?, ejb-class, persistence-type, prim-key-class,
 reentrant, cmp-version?, abstract-schema-name?,
 cmp-field*, primkey-field?, env-entry*, ejb-ref*,
 ejb-local-ref*, security-role-ref*, security-identity?,
 resource-ref*, resource-env-ref*, query*)>

Can't create EJB from existing .java AND ejb-jar.xml entries

I've noticed that I can create the source files for an EJB outside of JDeveloper, then I can do the "Create Entity Bean" thing, and specify the path to the source files, and it will use those source files, instead of forcing me to create them again.
However, I've noticed that if I manually add the information to the "ejb-jar.xml" file, and then try to add the bean, it won't let me. I've found I have to delete the entry from the ejb-jar.xml file and let JDeveloper control the creation of the fields, even if I know exactly what needs to be set.

If you are adding/modifying ejb-jar.xml outside JDeveloper and trying to see the changes.
Save the ejb-jar.xml file which is being modified externally
Select ejb-jar.xml in JDeveloper
and do View | Refresh
This will load in the changes (providing the source path has been set properly)

Please suggest a solution to this error.
Note that the class specified in the error is in its package. So this doesn't seems to be exact error. Please suggest.

Hi,
I have faced same problem most of time and resolved ot by recompileing my all the classes and new deployment descriptors. First you should make new java files for all clases(copy contents fron old java files ) and make anew package same as old and then do all the required process and re deploy it. I think because of some problem in class generation.
