Assignment of transaction attributes in ejb-jar.xml

Hi all,
I'm going through the employee example from the book "Java programming in SAP web application server". I have followed the instrucstions to the letter and have triple checked that i did not miss anything.
During the part "Defining Transaction Control", when i go to the "Assembly" tab, choose "Container-transaction" and click add; i get the following error message.
You have to create and reference EJBs first. Afterwards you can choose them here.
Newly created EJBs are referenced automatically in the ejb-jar.xml, in special cases you might have to reference them manually.
Below is a copy of the ejb-jar. Both beans are referenced in the file so i don't really understand the error message!
Thanks for your help.

trans-attribute in ejb-jar.xml

Dear All,
To improve performance of my EJB's, I wish to set trans-attribute as "Supports"
for all my get methods and rest of the methods as "Required".
Heres the snippet from my ejb-jar.xml which I'm using to achieve the same:
======== start ejb-jar.xml =========
<container-transaction>
<method>
<ejb-name>com.test.beans.TestBean</ejb-name>
<method-name>get*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Supports</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
<container-transaction>
<method>
<ejb-name>com.test.beans.TestBean</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
======== end ejb-jar.xml ===========
My doubt is:
- Is this the right way to achieve the same?
- Is there any possibility that 1st container would set the trans-attribute for
all methods start with get to "Supports" and then set the trans-attribute as "Required"
for all method[since I've used * afterwards], i.e overwrite the changes for get*
methods?
- Or Should I do it other way around? i.e 1st set trans-aatribute of all methods[*]
and then overwrite for get* methods?
Comments plz !!!
Thanx

order you want. Note that the "get*" is more specific than the "*" for the
method-name element.
Also with supports, if this bean is invoked in a transaction then the
caller's transaction will whatever settings it has would take precedence.

Error defining transaction-isolation at weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

Hi,
.. from WebLogic 5.1 reference:
(...) the top level elements in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml are as follows:

. weblogic-enterprise-bean
. ejb-name
. caching-descriptor
. presistence-descriptor
. clustering-descriptor
. transaction-descriptor
. reference-descriptor
. enable-call-by-reference
. jndi-name
. TRANSACTION-ISOLATION
. security-role-assignment
this way i've appended a transaction isolation section immediatly after the jndi-name section
from my weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file to specify that all methods of my container-managed ejb
should use read-committed accesses to the database. But i've gotten the error message:

during compilation time at parsing. Nowhere else in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml i can put the
isolation transaction section without receiving some related parsing error. The same happens
trying to include such transaction section at ejb-jar.xml. I'm attaching both xml files. Should
anybody help me saying where that section should be described? And if it should be placed in
another file, why the documentation states for describing it at the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml?
[weblogic-ejb-jar.xml]

That means that you do not have the SP6 in the service pack and it is using
the old DTD.

The <ejb-name> value of the <method> block of the <transaction-isolation>

from my WebLogic Console one can read

Omitting container-transaction in ejb-jar.xml

Hi,
This may be an easy answer (although I'm struggling to find onejust now) but if you don't define a <container-transaction> element to the ejb-jar.xml for your EJBs, what transaction attribute is used when using Container Managed Persistence? Are transactions used at all it this scenario or does it default to auto committing after every statement?
Also, what part does the application server vendor play in this - if any?
Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.

I'm still struggling to get a conclusive answer to this issue. Read a few books and the EJB spec itself but nothing seems to give an answer on this issue. This makes me think that it is up to the container if it is not defined.
Also did some tests on Oracle 9ias and it seems that transactions aren't used when transaction config is not defined for CMT beans as it would only rollback on an error when it was defined. Still need to do some more tests.
Again, if anyone is able to help shed some light on this then it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Missing listener-threads attribute in orion-ejb-jar.xml !!

Hi All,
I was trying to do some performance tuning as given in BPEL admin guide. For one of the BPEL property namely 'dspMaxThreads', guide says "Sum of dspMaxThreads of ALL domains should be <= the number of mdb listener threads on the workerbean". Now when i open <SOA_HOME>/j2ee/oc4j_soa/application-deployments/orabpel/orion-ejb-jar.xml and navigate to workerbean, i can not find any listener-threads attribute in message-driven-deployment tag.
<message-driven-deployment name="WorkerBean" min-instances="100" resource-adapter="BPELjms">
However there is a ReceiverThreads property set to 40.
<message-driven-deployment name="WorkerBean" min-instances="100" resource-adapter="BPELjms">
<config-property-name>ReceiverThreads</config-property-name>
<config-property-value>40</config-property-value>
</config-property>
</message-driven-deployment>
Now my question is that can i add listener-threads attribute to message-driven-deployment tag and then tune dspmaxthreads accordingly, Or
i can make use of ReceiverThreads property to match with dspmaxthreads property. I am really confused b/w listener-threads and ReceiverThreads.
Can anyone clarify the same ?
I have ORACLE SOA Suite ver 10.1.3.1 (with 10.1.3.3 patch) installed.
Thanks in advance.

Jingzhi -- If you define the correct EJB-QL you should get the correct SQL generated for the finder. If that's not happening can you verify it against the OC4J v903 production release and see if it is still happening. I don't know if this helps with the JDeveloper problem specifically but if you don't need to create your own finders then that I hope should help.
Thanks -- Jeff

Accessing the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml transaction-descriptor

Is there a way to programmatically access the transaction-descriptor (in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file) for a given application?

We would like to get the transaction-timeout-seconds for AquaLogic DataServicesPlatform. We have a user timeout function in XQuery that can switch to another path after a user prescribed number of seconds. We set a timer and recognize the timeout, but we may have started a JDBC connection already and issued a query that may run and run and run .... We would like to limit the query to run a maximum length of time.
If I can get the EJB Session timeout (actually the transaction-timeout-seconds or so I'm told) I can set the JDBC connection timeout value before issuing our query.

Weblogic 10.3.0 Deployment error when using ejb-jar.xml

Hi,
I am getting the following error while deploying my EJB3 application on Weblogic 10.3.0. This is happening only if I include ejb-jar.xml.

Is this a issue in Weblogic 10.3.0 or am I missing any special setup ?

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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD WebLogic 8.1.0 EJB//EN" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic-ejb-jar.dtd">

</security-role-assignment>
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>MarsViewer</role-name>
<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.

ejb-local-ref where to put this tag in ejb-jar.xml ??

I have an ejb-jar.xml that looks like this. I have had no problem with remote interfaces. Now I want the bean to have a local interface too.
Just let me know where the tag I have mentioned for the <ejb-local-ref> has to be put into.
When I compile this file it throws me an error which i have shown below the output of the ejb-jar.xml file
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>

</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>
I have also added the following tag in the weblogic-jar.xml
<local-jndi-name>IDMasterEJB.IDMasterLocalHome</local-jndi-name>
Just let me know whether I am correct
On compilation (using ant utility) the error thrown is like this :
ejbc:

Kindly Help !!!

JNDI and env. vars. in ejb-jar.xml

I have been trying for several days now to have my EJB session bean access
its env. vars. stored in the ejb-jar.xml document. I have been unsuccessful.
The only place I have been able to store my env. vars. is in the web.xml
document outside my .jar file. Although workable, it would be preferable to
store them in the ejb-jar.xml document in my .jar file.
I am hoping some one can help me. I am using the following code in my ejb:
Context init = new InitialContext();
Context env = (Context)init.lookup("java:comp/env");
m_bTruncCorporate =
((Boolean)env.lookup(MICRworks.MICR_ENV_TRUNCORP)).booleanValue();
m_strOptPath = (String)env.lookup(MICRworks.MICR_ENV_OPFLPATH);
m_strOptAccount = (String)env.lookup(MICRworks.MICR_ENV_OPFLACCT);
m_strOptRouting = (String)env.lookup(MICRworks.MICR_ENV_OPFLROUT);
My ejb-jar.xml follows:

things without success.
I would appreciate any help I can get...especially if it contains specific

Thanx in advance. Marek :-)

Thanks for the reference. I was using another book as a reference (Using
Java 2 Enterprise Edition by Mark Wutka) which had the same sort of example
and as you can see below, I coded my bean as they suggest...I'm still unable
to access the env. vars.!
I deployed by bean using WebLogic's Builder and but didn't create any sort
of application. I let WebLogic do what it would on its own. The WebLogic
documentation seemed to indicate for simple testing this would work
fine...is it wrong?
btw. MICRworks.MICR_ENV_TRUNCORP equates to "TruncateCorporate" as you
probably guessed.
The WebLogic Admin Console shows the environment variables in the EJB
Descriptors for my EJB but they do not show up when I view the JNDI tree for
my server. I have taken this to mean that the deployment tool is not
binding my env. vars. for some reason which would explain why my bean can't
find them.
I know it must be something stupid I am doing (or not doing) but I just
can't see it. Please help!

Hello Marek,
I would suggest that you download the free book "Mastering EJB 2ndEdition" by
Ed Roman, Scott Ambler, and Tyler Jewell. The source code for the book isalso
freely available and is meant to be deployed specifically on WebLogic.Look for
a sample application called "Jasmine", which shows how to use environmententries.
You will see a concrete example of how they are defined and later accessedfrom
within EJBs. The book and source code are available at the followingaddress:

Deployment issues, how is weblogic-ejb-jar.xml linked to ejb-jar.xml

Hey guys,
I'm getting the following error I think because i have something configured incorrectly in my xml files. Instead of yousing activationConfig properties in my MDB I wanted to set them in the ejb-jar.xml file manually. The following error I'm getting is...
Unable to deploy EJB: MyMDB from MDBtest2:
[EJB:011026]The EJB container failed while creating the java:/comp/env namespace for this EJB deployment.
weblogic.deployment.EnvironmentException: [EJB:010176]The resource-env-ref 'inQueue' declared in the ejb-jar.xml descriptor has no JNDI name mapped to it. The resource-ref must be mapped to a JNDI name using the resource-description element of the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml descriptor.

Hi,
It looks like first thing you are using EJB3 but your XML files are still pointing to version="2.1" and very old.

*try this: In below "ejb-jar.xml" file*

 Now u need to Just define the Provider URL here...if you want a remote provider...else not required JNDI names are already defined in the ejb-jar.xml file

Hi,
Nothing stands out as being configured incorrectly. I copy and pasted the descriptors below, put them in a jar file and ran weblogic.appc on it. The descriptors loaded properly and appc only complained that the EJB classes couldn't be found (as expected). Are you sure the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml containing the 'PAMaintenance' reference is in the same ejb-jar file as the ejb-jar.xml containing the 'PAMaintenance' definition? That's the only thing I can think of.

Ejb-jar.xml and orion-ejb-jar.xml configuration issue

Chris,
We have an application that uses the Oracle 10g Application Server and WebSphere MQ v5.3 w/ fixpack 9.
Our application is a J2EE messaging system which essentially consists of Message Driven Beans, the EJB
realization of the J2EE Java Message Service (JMS) API. Our application has Message Driven Beans which
listen to queues and send messages to queues -- a simple messaging system. Currently we can listen to queues, but
cannot send messages to queues in the Oracle 10g Application Server environment.
Any J2EE application server has its own implementation of Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI) API that
deployed J2EE applications utilize to lookup resources such as Data Sources, JMS Destinations (i.e. MQ Queue),
JMS QueueConnectionFactories (i.e. MQ QManagers).
Our application uses the 3rd party JMS Provider, WebSphere MQ.
MQ ships with a JMSAdmin tool which allows one to create JMS administered objects (i.e. objects a java
application searches for in some JNDI directory) that reside in some JNDI context. We create a JNDI context for
MQ resources, queues and QManagers. We configure the MQ provided
JMSAdmin tool with two property name/value pairs:
PROVIDER_URL=file:/opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
A resultant .bindings file is created in /opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory which represents our JDNI context
containing our JMS administered objects. A standalone java application that needs to directly access this
JNDI context can simply conduct a JNDI lookup on the following context: "java:comp/resource/MQSeries/". An
example of how a standalone application would lookup a JMS administered object named "qNumber1" would be to
lookup "java:comp/resource/MQSeries/qNumber1". This lookup would result in the standalone java application
having a JMS reference to an MQ Queue.
There is a major difference in how an enterprise EJB application deployed into a J2EE Container (Oracle 10g App Server)
conducts a JNDI lookup on a 3rd party resource such as MQ as a JMS Provider. A typical EJB application deployed
into a J2EE container as an .ear (enterprise archive) file has implicit access to the application server's own
JNDI context. This JNDI context is usually "java:comp/env/". Looking up the Application Server's own Data Source or
it's own JMS Resources is easy. An application that needs references to these Application Server provided resources
simply conducts a lookup for "java:comp/env/jms/someQ" or "java:comp/env/jdbc/myDataSource".
The problem we face is mapping our MQ JNDI context to the Oracle App Server's own JNDI context. We believe this is
accomplished through mappings defined in both the ejb-jar.xml (EJB Descriptor) and the application server specific
counterpart, orion-ejb-jar.xml. Note that Oracle 10g Application Server uses the popular orion J2EE container for
hosting J2EE enterpise applications.
Our Message Driven Beans (MDBs)currently listen to the Queue at the JNDI location "prodQ". Our problem is that we cannot
get our MDB to send messages to any queues. Note that the MQ implementation of the queues and Queue Managers work
flawlessly with standalone java applications. It's safe to say that the MQ objects are working.
We are looking for a solid example of how the ejb-jar.xml and the orion-ejb-jar.xml map 3rd party JMS provider
JNDI locations to the App Server's JNDI context.
Below is how we have attempted to configure our own ejb-jar.xml and orion-ejb-jar.xml:

If you look at the contents of a deployment plan (Plan.xml) when you have it generated
<deployment-plan ...>
<module-override>
 <module-name>ejb.jar</module-name>
 <module-type>ejb</module-type>
 <module-descriptor external="true">
 <root-element>weblogic-ejb-jar</root-element>
 <uri>META-INF/weblogic-ejb-jar.xml</uri>
 </module-descriptor>
 <module-descriptor external="false">
 <root-element>ejb-jar</root-element>
 <uri>META-INF/ejb-jar.xml</uri>
 </module-descriptor>
 <module-descriptor external="true">
 <root-element>persistence-configuration</root-element>
 <uri>META-INF/persistence-configuration.xml</uri>
 </module-descriptor>
 <module-descriptor external="false">
 <root-element>persistence</root-element>
 <uri>META-INF/persistence.xml</uri>
 </module-descriptor>
</module-override>
</deployment-plan>You can see which files can be external and which can be not. The weblogic-ejb-jar.xml can be external
but in this case you need a deployment plan to point weblogic to the file. The ejb-jar.xml cannot be
external (see external=false)
The benefit of storing the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is that your administrator can fine tune certain
configurations by using a deployment plan, instead of having to extract the contents from the jar file
and then repackage it again.
No need to worry about a clustered environment, you can place the jar and the deployment plan
on the server where the admin server is located, when you deploy an application you deploy it to
the cluster and everything is taken care off.
More information on deployment plans can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/deployment/config.html

Ejb-jar.xml not using fully qualified class names

HI,
I am trying yo upgrade my application from weblogic 8.1 to weblogic 9.2.3. My application has both session and enitybeans. I updated weblogic related jars with 9.x version. But while running ejbgen, i am getting the following exception.
*[java] weblogic.ejb.container.deployer.DeploymentDescriptorException: Unable to set the transaction attribute for method 'updateService(abcTO)' on EJB 'AbcService'. No matching method could be found. Please verify the method signature specified in the ejb-jar.xml file matches that of your Local interface for this EJB.*
In ejb-jar.xml file, it is not creating the fully qualified class name for abcTo in <method-param>. In component interface, the method signature is not contaning fully qualified class name for the parameters and return values.
If i change the signature in the bean with the fully qualified class name of the parameter, the ejb-jar.xml file is creating fine. But there are 100's of signatures i need to change if this is the only solution.
Can you please advice what i need to change when i upgrade from weblogic 8 to 9 series from session and entity bean's point of view?
Thanks in Advance
Naveen.

ejb-jar.xml has always required fully-qualified class names. If some vendors have accepted unqualified class names unfortunately that
behavior is non-portable. Your best bet is to fully-qualify the names. Perhaps you can find some tools to help you given the large
number of components in your application.

Ejb-jar.xml

hi,
I just want to know if it's possible to declare many ejb in the ejb-jar.xml file.
Thanks
Augustin Lapraline

Yes, I did this before as long as you follow ejb-jar.xml rule.
<enterprise-beans>
add one this:
<session>
<ejb-name>Soprano</ejb-name>
<home>csc.io.soprano.SopranoHome</home>
<remote>csc.io.soprano.Soprano</remote>
<ejb-class>csc.io.soprano.SopranoBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>
add one this:
<container-transaction>
<method>
<ejb-name>SopranoExtension</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
