Can't I use the comment in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml?

Hi, I am migrating to WebLogic Server 6.1 from 5.1.
And for the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml,
the following error occurs:
ERROR: Error parsing 'META-INF/weblogic-ejb-jar.xml' line 14: An invalid XML character
(Unicode: 0xb8) was found in the comment.
ERROR: ejbc found errors
The errorneous line is the following comment. (it's fine in 5.1)

Must I remove this comment?
Thanks in advance.

I used Korean language in comment.
But the charset of XML was iso-8859-1.
Sorry.

Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml ---- persistence-type

Hi all,
How does wls6.1determine the "type-identifier" (weblogic-ejb-jar.xml) of a
JDBC-Datastore? Which method will be called to get that information? My
vendor does not provide the correct type-identifier!!
I can´t believe that this is all about the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml --
type-identifier I found at
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////ejb/reference.html#1071588.
It writes:
"..if you use a different persistence vendor, consult the vendor's
documentation for information on the correct type-identifier."
Part of a weblogic-ejb-jar.xml:
<persistence-type>
<type-identifier>JDataStore</type-identifier>
<type-version>3.0</type-version>
<type-storage>meta-inf/weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml</type-storage>
</persistence-type>
Thanks!!!
Thomas

thanks a lot!!

Role- group in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml?

How do I map a security role, defined in ejb-jar.xml, to a group (e.g., not just a single Principal)?
For example, I'd like to have the following in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>EJBAdministrator</role-name>
<principal-name>admins</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
where 'admins' is a user group in my directory.
I'm using the Active Directory authenticator on WLS7, and when I set 'principal-name' to a user-type entry, it works fine. But I really don't want to hardcode all the authorized usernames into the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. Is there a way around it?

Just use the name of the group instead of the user. Remember a group is
a principal too. so in your example:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>EJBAdministrator</role-name>
<principal-name>admin group</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
Hope that helps...

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 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>
</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.

"Could not locate the bean with the ejb-name XYZ in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

Hi,
Please someone help me on this...
I'm trying to deploy an application on WLS 8.1 SP4
on HPUX IA64 arch. From the ear file WLS is able to
deploy 3 jars but for the last two jars it's throwing
the below error:
Could not locate the bean with the ejb-name xyz in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
But ejb with name xyz is defined in the the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file and it's also present in the
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file.
I have no clue what's going wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Mouli

oops! Pls ignore my previous mail. It was for a different problem.
FOr the original problem of "couldn ot locate the bean with the ejb-name XZY in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml":
This happens if you don't have the below files defined
for a JAR/EAR file:
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml (needed if you have any Datasource mapped)
These two are basic files required for any JAR/EAR file.
If you dont' have it already you can generate them using
$WLS_HOME/bin/startWLBuilder.sh GUI tool bundled along
with WLS (I used 8.1 SP4) to generate these files ! This tool is really helpful.

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.

Dynamic jndi-name in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

Is there a way to create dynamic (i.e. runtime) jndi-names for EJBs instead of
(or in addition to) "hard coding" them in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file? What
I'm trying to do is have one WebLogic instance (JVM) host multiple environments
(our Beta and Training environments) and I simply want to deploy the same .ear
file twice but have each environment (application - .ear) reference a different
database schema (jdbc connection pool). I have everything working just fine for
this scenario except when I define jndi-names for our ejbs. The problem is that
I am really deploying the same ejbs (jndi-names and actually code base) in each
applicatoin instance and I get an exception when the WebLogic is trying to deploy
the second application (.ear) because the jndi-names in it have already been deployed
by the first application instance. I recieve a jndi error stating that the name
is already deployed.
Or is there a better path to go down for what I am trying to do to have one WebLogic
instance support our beta and training environments? Usually (but not always)
our code base is the for same for both of these environments, I simply need to
have each environment use a different database schema.
Thanks

A little birdie tells me that BEA does this very thing. Looking at the
descriptors for WebLogic Portal I see:
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>LoaderEJB</ejb-name>
<enable-call-by-reference>True</enable-call-by-reference>
<jndi-name>${APPNAME}.BEA_content.LoaderHome</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
Yes, the ${APPNAME} token really is expanded into the J2EE application
name at deployment time!
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Also, a single WLS instance hosting multiple environments sounds really

I am clearly missing items in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. If anyone has a sample or tips, that would be awesome as a starting point.

Those tags just declare that you are using our CMP provider and that
your descriptor is in META-INF/weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml.
FWIW, you might also want to check out EJBGen. It tends to keep more up
to date with WLS than xdoclet.

alright, but is putting the following extra tags. This happens even

My question is, are the extra tags below harmless, or should I
manually go to each desciptor file and remove them?
Thanks.

Reg. Provider Url set in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

have created an MDB which listens to an IBM MQ. I currently
specify the path of the binding file by setting the provider_url in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
An example is as follows::
<destination-jndi-name>Sample.Q</destination-jndi-name>
<initial-context-factory>com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory</initial-context-factory>
<provider-url>file:/apps/test/</provider-url>
<connection-factory-jndi-name>Sample.QCF</connection-factory-jndi-name>
is there any way to set this parameter dynamically from MDB itself

AFAIK you can't dynamically reconfigure MDBs; whats in the XML is what you get.
One alternative is to use Spring and Message Driven POJOs which allows you to use Spring to configure the provider & activation spec, which allows you to dynamically at runtime configure properties however you wish or even hot deploy MDPs within a running application.
http://jencks.org/Message+Driven+POJOs
Depending on how complex your runtime-configuration is you could create your own Spring Factory Beans to do wacky stuff (query a database or whatever to figure out the provider URLs etc) or use a Spring post processor to inject values from some other source (JNDI, LDAP etc).

I am using weblogic 10.3 and EJB 3.0 Can I include all the EJBs in a single <weblogic-ejb-jar.xml> file and can I put it in the EAR->EarContent->META-INF folder, where the application.xml and weblogic-application.xml files exist.
Basically, I am trying to include <initial-beans-in-free-pool> and <stateless-bean-is-clusterable> for each of my EJBs. Since there is no annotation equivalent for them in EJB 3.0, I had to include the <weblogic-ejb-jar.xml> file. I appreciate if anybody can suggest me if there is any annotation equivalent for these.
Thank you,
Sowmya

Hi,
1. please try with <stateless-bean-is-clusterable>true</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
2. the EJB Specification requires "The deployment descriptor must be stored with the name META-INF/ejb-jar.xml in the ejb-jar file." So you shouldn't put the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml to EAR's META-INF folder.
3. <stateless-bean-is-clusterable> has a default value as "true". so you needn't specify it in your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml if you just want to have the "true" value.
4. default value of <initial-beans-in-free-pool> is 0. Since you're changing the default value, you'll have to specify it in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. If you can put all EJBs in one ejb jar file, you can have only one weblogic-ejb-jar.xml in the META-INF folder of this ejb jar.
Thanks,
Amy

Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml generation and editing question with JEE5 / EJB3

Since EJBGen only works with EJB 2.1, is there a way to auto-generate weblogic-ejb-jar.xml when using a JEE5 ejb module?
In the tooling like OEPE 11g, an EJB3 project will generate an empty deployment descriptor weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file if you mark it that way in the wizard, but it doesn't populate it with any values.
Is the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file is created/edited by hand, do the settings like this example still work or even make sense given the changes in the spec between 2.1 and 3.0?
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>HelloUser</ejb-name>
<stateless-session-descriptor>
<pool>
<max-beans-in-free-pool>50</max-beans-in-free-pool>
<initial-beans-in-free-pool>10</initial-beans-in-free-pool>
</pool>
<stateless-clustering>
<home-is-clusterable>True</home-is-clusterable>
<home-load-algorithm>round-robin</home-load-algorithm>
<stateless-bean-is-clusterable>True</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
<stateless-bean-load-algorithm>round-robin</stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
</stateless-clustering>
</stateless-session-descriptor>
<enable-call-by-reference>true</enable-call-by-reference>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>

Hi,
For a JEE5 EJB module, rather than using EJBGen, you can use WLS specific annotations for configuring common settings. If you follow the link below, you can see a list of supported EJB annotations. Disregard the fact that the documentation section title is WebLogic Kodo Annotations. That is incorrect and I've filed a bug for it.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/ejb30/annotations.html#wp1438036.
Unfortunately, we don't yet support setting all weblogic-ejb-jar.xml configuration values via annoations so in some cases a weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is still required.
You can hand edit your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and the example you posted below should work fine.

Application deployment order with weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and jndi-name

I have two applicatation working on Weblogic server v. 10.3.6.
First of them creating one ejb stateless bean and creates JNDI maping for it (in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file):
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 <ejb-name>ConfigMenegerBean</ejb-name>
 <stateless-session-descriptor>
 <stateless-session-descriptor>
 <business-interface-jndi-name-map>
 <business-remote>package.ConfigurationSessionRemote</business-remote>
 <jndi-name>ConfigMeneger</jndi-name>
 </business-interface-jndi-name-map>
 </stateless-session-descriptor>
 <enable-call-by-reference>true</enable-call-by-reference>
 <jndi-name>ConfigMeneger</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
Second appication have to refer for this bean by JNDI using spring been lookup :
<jee:jndi-lookup id="configManager" jndi-name="ConfigMeneger"/>
I changed deployment order parameter for both apllication(first=100 and second=500) in order to first app start first and share bean by jndi to another application. Unfortuantelly I got an error :
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'ConfigMeneger'. Resolved ''; remaining name 'ConfigMeneger'
How can I configure deployment order that first application make jndi mapping for bean, before the second application will use it ?

Ok in a way I have solved my problem (even if I am not completely satisfied by the way on how to proceed...). So thanks to message "JBuilder7.0 and Weblogic6.1" on EJB sun forum :
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=285735&forum=13&message=1255488
I have tried the following actions (mentionned in the other forum messages):
- To preserve changes to weblogic*.xml, the safest way is to change the ejb-borland.xml.
(I am not sure that I have applied this advice correctly, because I suppose that syntax is not similar in weblogic file or borland file).
And you can MANUALLY update the weblogic file in your JAR archive.
1. Open the EJB JAR file in Winzip and extract the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file, so that a copy exists in your
project directory.
2. Open this file (in Notepad), add the WebLogic specific information, and then save the file.
3. Now, when you are finished with the build cycle and are ready to deploy, you may open the EJB jar file
and swap in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file."
Good Luck.

Storing ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

We are using Weblogic Integration 9.2 on a 2 cluster system sharing the same domain directory.
1) I am wondering if I can store these files somewhere in the domains directory instead of the EJB's archive - call it MyEjb.jar?
2) Are there any benefits to storing these files outside of the MyEjb.jar file? I am thinking to make it easier to update the configurations such as number of MDB consumers and such to avoid having to recreate the MyEjb.jar with the new config and redeploy the application. A simple text edit and bounce could be fine if the files can be stored outside.
2b) Can another application in the same domain read these files to find out the connection factory and queue information?
3) Are there any disadvantages to storing those files outside of the jar file? One issue I can think of here is how to deal with them on a cluster environment.
4) Any other feedback apprecaited.

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

Can't I use the comment in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml?
