CMP Entity Bean With Primary Key of int

Is it valid to have a CMP Entity Bean (v1.1) where the primary key is defined as the primitive 'int' instead of a true Java class?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi,
Ur primary key in the EJB cant be a primitive data type. If the primary key in the table is a int,
then u will hv [bold] java.lang.Integer [bold] as the datatype in Entity Bean. If u hv further queries write me at [email protected]

Entity bean with primary key generated by trigger

Hi,
We have a table(oracle) with one column as primary key,
but the primary key is generated by trigger every time
a new row is inserted into this table, inside the trigger,
it uses oracle sequence to get the next val.
If we want to use entity bean with it, what should we specify, it's not application-managed primay key, it's
not auto-generated primary key either. How can we resolve
it without change the database part.
Any thought is appreciated.
Thanks
afang

The code is already there with JDBC call inserting
into the table, the inserting trigger then will generate
sequence key and being inserted into primary key column.
Now wondering if it's possible to change the code to use entity bean but without modifying the trigger (since it contains other business logics).

Entity Bean with Primary Key Class

Hi
I am trying to develop an entity bean attached to a key which have a
composite key using Primary Key Class. When I use the findByPrimaryKey

I am trying to develop an entity bean attached to a key which have a
composite key using Primary Key Class. When I use the findByPrimaryKey
method of the bean it throws an exception as follows,I notice that you are using the reference CMP plugin.
at com.netscape.server.ejb.SQLPersistenceManager.find(Unknown Source)I'm also willing to bet that you may have created your own primary key class
with a single field, rather than using the fields type as a primitive
primary key class. If you do this, then SQLPersistenceManager will break.
It is badly written, and has some stupid assumptions. The one I remember
the most is that if you only have one primary key field, then
SQLPersistenceManager assumes you have used a primitive type such as
java.lang.String or java.lang.Integer, to represent it, rather than creating
your own <Enity>Pk.java file.
SQLPersistenceManager works for toy examples, but in general I would say it
is broken and unusable. Either use BMP, or splash out the money for Coco
Base from Thought Inc. Currently the only CMP plugin for iPlanet App server,
other than the reference implementation, that I know of.

Deploying BMP Entity Bean with primary key calss

Hi,
I am using EJB 2.0 with and websphere studio 5.0 and database is sql server 2000.
My BMP Entity bean has a primary key class.From my client I am invoking the Entity Bean by calling it's findbyprimarykey method.
The home interface of my findbyprimarykey method returns a class of type Remote.But in the Entity Bean class,the return type is the primarykey class type.
My problem is invoking this findbyprimarykey from the client to get the remote interface so that the other business methods of the entity bean can be called.
The control goes into the ejbFindbyPrimaryKey but when it is returing from the Entity Bean class,it gives a remote exception (as the return type in Entity Bean class and Home interface are different for the findbyprimarykey method).
I think that somewhere in the deployment decriptor in my websphere,i have to specify the primarykey class type,which i am missing out and hence getting the error.
Please help me out with your advice and solution.
Thanks

Error While Deploying A CMP Entity Bean With A Composite Primary Key

Hello all,
I have a problem deploying CMP Entity beans with composite primary keys. I have a CMP Entity Bean, which contains a composite primary key composed of two local stubs. If you know more about this please respond to my post on the EJB forum (subject: CMP Bean Local Stub as a Field of a Primary Key Class).
In the mean time, can you please tell me what following error message means and how to resolve it? From what I understand it might be a problem with Sun ONE AS 7, but I would like to make sure it's not me doing something wrong.
[05/Jan/2005:12:49:03] WARNING ( 1896):      Validation error in bean CustomerSubscription: The type of non-static field customer of the key class
test.subscription.CustomerSubscriptionCMP_1530383317_JDOState$Oid must be primitive or must implement java.io.Serializable.
     Update the type of the key class field.
     Warning: All primary key columns in primary table CustomerSubscription of the bean corresponding to the generated class test.subscription.CustomerSubscriptionCMP_1530383317_JDOState must be mapped to key fields.
     Map the following primary key columns to key fields: CustomerSubscription.CustomerEmail,CustomerSubscription.SubscriptionType. If you already have fields mapped to these columns, verify that they are key fields.Is it enough that a primary key class be serializable or all fields have to implement Serializable or be a primitive?
Please let me know if you need more information to answer my question.
Thanks.
Nikola

Hi Nikola,
There are several problems with your CMP bean.
1. Fields of a Primary Key Class must be a subset of CMP fields, so yes, they must be either a primitive or a Serializable type.
2. Sun Application Server does not support Primary Key fields of an arbitrary Serializable type (i.e. those that will be stored
as BLOB in the database), but only primitives, Java wrappers, String, and Date/Time types.
Do you try to use stubs instead of relationships or for some other reason?
If it's the former - look at the CMR fields.
If it's the latter, I suggest to store these fields as regular CMP fields and use some other value as the PK. If you prefer that
the CMP container generates the PK values, use the Unknown
PrimaryKey feature.
Regards,

CMP Entity Bean with ejb-ql finder methods and INFORMIX database

Hi,
I have some CMP Entity Beans with finder methods defined in ejb-ql. In my ejb-jar, within <entity> definitions I have something like:
    <entity>
      <abstract-schema-name>BeanName</abstract-schema-name>
      <cmp-field><field-name>fieldOne</field-name></cmp-field>
      <cmp-field><field-name>fieldTwo</field-name></cmp-field>
      <query>
        <query-method>
          <method-name>findAll</method-name>
          <method-params></method-params>
        </query-method>
        <ejb-ql>SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM BeanName o</ejb-ql>
      </query>
    <entity>
And in persistent.xml:
<db-properties>
     <data-source-name>datasource_name</data-source-name>
</db-properties>
<entity-bean>
     <ejb-name>BeanName</ejb-name>
     <table-name>table_name</table-name>
     <field-map key-type="NoKey">
     <field-name>fieldOne</field-name>
     <column><column-name>column_one</column-name></column>
      </field-map>
     <field-map key-type="NoKey">
     <field-name>fieldTwo</field-name>
     <column><column-name>column_two</column-name></column>
      </field-map>
      <finder-descriptor>
          <method-name>findAll</method-name>
          <method-params/>
     </finder-descriptor>
Once deployed, on server side, I can found a java source file (with corresponding compiled class file) in path:
j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/companyName/MyEARApp/EJBContainer/temp/temp38837373733/route/to/package/
with names:
BeanName0_0pm.java
BeanName0_0PM.class
and the generated java file contains this code:
public java.util.Enumeration ejbFindAll() throws javax.ejb.FinderException, javax.ejb.EJBException {
    TransactionContext tc = pm.getTransactionContext();
    Connection conn = null;
    PreparedStatement pSt = null;
    ResultSet ejb_rs = null;
    int status = javax.transaction.xa.XAResource.TMSUCCESS;
    try {
      conn = pm.getConnectionForFindMethod();
      pSt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT \"O\".\"COLUMN_ONE\",\"O\".\"COLUMN_TWO\", FROM \"TABLE_NAME\" \"O\"");
      ejb_rs = pSt.executeQuery();
I'm trying to call this method but it throws a SQLException when preparing the statement.
It seems that Informix does not like this SQL syntax because of upper case names, doble quotes on table alias, or something else.
When editing persistent.xml in netweaver, I can define the element <datasource-vendor> as ORACLE, SAPDB, MS_SQL_SERVER, DB2_UDB_AS400 or DB2_UDB_OS390 but INFORMIX is not an accepted value.
Is there any way to define how this SQL query is build?
Thanks in advance.

The return type of the finder method defined in the remote home interface is either the entity bean's remote interface or a collection of objects implementing the entity bean's remote interface. The return type of the finder method defined in the local home interface is either the entity bean's local interface or a collection of objects implementing the entity bean's local interface

Javax.ejb.ObjectNotFoundException: Bean with primary key '555' was not foun

When I delete a particular entity bean instance, i get the following exception:
javax.ejb.ObjectNotFoundException: Bean with primary key '555' was not found by 'findByPrimaryKey'.
But, the instance is being deleted from the database.
Anyone please help,
Thank u,
Seshu

Greetings,
When I delete a particular entity bean instance, i get
the following exception:
javax.ejb.ObjectNotFoundException: Bean with primary
key '555' was not found by 'findByPrimaryKey'.Interesting. How is your client calling the bean's remove method? Directly or through its home? Is it calling findByPrimaryKey before or after the call to remove? What is the PrimaryKey class type of your bean? Is the client passing a correct instance? All are things to be considered when troubleshooting your application. If more assistance is required, then seeing the relevant source code would be more helpful.
But, the instance is being deleted from the database.As is generally to be expected. No?
Anyone please help,
Thank u,

The code is already there with JDBC call inserting
into the table, the inserting trigger then will generate
sequence key and being inserted into primary key column.
Now wondering if it's possible to change the code to use entity bean but without modifying the trigger (since it contains other business logics).

Bad Performance/OutOfMemory Error in CMP Entity Bean with Large DB

Hello:
I have an CMP Entity deployed on WLS 7.0
The entity bean maps to a table that has 97,480 records.
It has a finder: findAll() -- SELECT OBJECT(e) FROM Equipment e
I have a JSP client that invokes the findALL()
The performance is very poor ~ 150 seconds just to perform the findAll() - (Benchmark
from within the JSP code)
If more than one simultaneous call is made then I get outOfMemory Error.
WLS is started with max memory of 512MB
EJB is deployed with <max-beans-in-cache>100000</max-beans-in-cache>
(without max-beans-in-cache directive the performance is worse)
Is there any documentation available to help us in deploying CMP Entity Beans
with very large number of records (instances) ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rajan

Hi
You should use a Select Method, it does support cursors.
Or a Home Select Method combination.

CMP entity bean with compound primary key

I'm trying to use a compound primary key in a CMP entity bean. I've created the custom primary key class okay, and I have the prim-key-class set in ejb-jar.xml. My client app gets the home reference okay, but when it tries to find an entity, I get the exception "SQLException: Incorrect syntax near '/'."
I think I'm having trouble deploying this in OC4J. Is there a sample orion-ejb-jar.xml deployment for a custom, compound primary key somewhere?
Many thanks for any help.

Never mind. I solved my problem. Thanks.

ORA-01407 when removing a CMP Entity Bean with WLS 9.1

Hi all !
I hope you can help me to solve this ?:|
I'm migrating my application from WLS 8.1 SP3 to WLS 9.1.
I'm getting now an SQLException when I try to remove a CMP Entity Bean.
The stacktrace is as follows:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01407: cannot update ("USER"."MY_TABLE"."THE_CMR_FIELD") to NULL

     at weblogic.jdbc.wrapper.PreparedStatement.executeUpdate(PreparedStatement.java:128)
Of course, I replaced the table and column names above to be more readable ;-)
The table MY_TABLE has a CMR field called THE_CMR_FIELD. The column is not nullable in the database (by the way, it's an Oracle 9i).
Everything is fine under WLS8.1
I tried two different Oracle JDBC drivers (9.2.0.5 and 10.2.0.1.0), but the result is always the same within WLS9.1.
Any ideas or suggestions (or even questions) are more than welcome!
Thanks
Eric

In fact I have this setup:
<pre>
workpattern 1..n workpatternday -| 1..n dayperiod
| 1..n daycoreperiod
</pre>
And before 'ejbRemove'ing the workpattern I first remove the days and before that the periods and core periods.
I start with the periods and instead of removing them in the DB he tries to update the FK to the day with '' (p6spy result).
When I remove the not null constraint on the foreign key everything passes to the day where the workpatternId cannot be set to null.
He does not throw errors on the coreperiod (where the not null constraint to day is still present).
When I invert the sequence of deleting
(first the core periods then the 'regular' periods) he complains about the dayId on the core periods table.
So it's completely absurd :S
I hope weblogic 8.1 might solve this problem as this development code is still to be migrated to 8.1 before going in production...
I would just like to know what's wrong. There are other places with just about the same relationships (CMR and DB) where he does not complain...

Entity bean - Unknow primary key problem

Hi,
We are using entity bean with unknown primary key option to generate the primary key automatically. It works for all the tables except one table. What we observe is, auto generated primary key is less than the max value in the table and is clashing with one existing record. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Chandra

Caching CMP Entity Beans with 9.0.2

Hi,
my CMP Entity Bean is accessed from a JSP-Page through a Stateless Session Bean. The Session-Bean executes findAll() on the Entity-Bean and the JSP-Page iterates over the Collection and displays the Fields through their getter-Methods. It turns out that every getXXX Methods results in a complete load of the Bean from the Database, so for 3 database-records with 4 attributes i get 12 SELECT - statements and 12 Activate/Load/Passivate cycles of the Entity Bean!!!!
I tried to setup the attributes in orion-ejb-jar.xml correctly, but that didn't show a difference:
-) exclusive-write-access="true" does only work in "read-only" mode (see oc4j_ejb_guide_r2.pdf)
-) setting timeouts didnt work
My Entity Bean settings are:
exclusive-write-access="true"
instance-cache-timeout="60"
max-instances="100"
max-tx-retries="0"
pool-cache-timeout="100"
The EJB-Callbacks are:
first the Session-Bean is created, and findAll() is executed - then all Entity-Beans are passivated again:
TestManBean Constructor called 1
TestManBean.setSessionContext() 1
TestManBean.ejbCreate() 1
PersonBean Constructor called 1
PersonBean.setEntityContext() 1
PersonBean.ejbActivate() 1
PersonBean.ejbLoad() 1
PersonBean Constructor called 2
PersonBean.setEntityContext() 2
PersonBean.ejbActivate() 2
PersonBean.ejbLoad() 2
PersonBean Constructor called 3
PersonBean.setEntityContext() 3
PersonBean.ejbActivate() 3
PersonBean.ejbLoad() 3
PersonBean.ejbPassivate() 1
PersonBean.ejbPassivate() 2
PersonBean.ejbPassivate() 3
now for every getXXX-Methods the following occurs:
PersonBean.ejbActivate() 3
PersonBean.ejbLoad() 3
PersonBean.ejbPassivate() 3
I user OC4J 9.0.2 Production with Oracle 8.1.6.
How can I turn on Entity-Bean Caching?
Thanks,
Gilbert

CMP Entity Beans with custom finders an primary key class

Hi everybody.
I've got a Entity with a primary key class and a custom finder. I've defined
the finder into the xml file like iPlanet's documentation say, but, when I
try to run the aplication I get the following error:
Exception: SERVLET-run_failed: Failed in running template:
/PruebaGI/PruebaGI/pruebagi.jsp, java.lang.ClassCastException:

Could anybody help my? I need to resolve this question quickly.

Hi Juan,
Sounds like you've defined either a java.lang.String where it should have
said Java.util.Vector (or the other way around) in the part of the
deployment descriptor that defines your custom finder method parameter.

CMP Entity Bean with database specific features

Hi there,
I�m studying Entity Beans and I'm doing some experiences with SQL Server.
At first, I built a CMP Bean and marked in deploytool to create the tables. Ok, it worked.
Now, I'm trying to interact to an existent database. But, I got a problem: the primary key is defined by the Server. I can read it and I can remove entries. But, when I try to insert some entry, I can't pass the key in SQL statement. I edited the generated statement to do it, but it doesn't work. I get a RollbackException.
My question is: is it possible to do what I'm intending to do with CMP? What am I doing wrong?
Do you think that, to do this, I should use BMP Entity beans?
Thanks in advance,
Anicio

"CMP provides you with database independence and less coding efforts."
BMP is not database dependent, unless you invoke database specific things in your SQL (something I do not do). CMP on the otherhand is inherently appserver specific (which was it's goal when BEA, IBM, et al. came up with it), and still limits your design possibilities. See this thread for an example:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=13&thread=318785
As for less coding effort, that is a relative statment. Yes a simple CMP bean requires less coding to develop the first time. I personally view a few lines of SQL to load and store the data as being fairly trivial. But that needs to be offset with the problems inherent in using appserver specific CMP implementations.
As an example, try mapping WebSphere CMP to a pre-existing database without using IBM's IDE. It's an incredible pain in the ass since WebSphere does not come with a "meet-in-the-middle" solution. Any J2EE developer that has had the experience of working with different appservers (especially if they have had to port an app, as I have) can attest to the complications that arise with each implementation.
A BMP bean, written with non-DB-specific SQL, is the most portable, most flexible approach to EntityBeans. Yes, it requires the developer to be able to write some SQL, which should not take a significant amout of time. WRT queries, you have to write them, either SQL, EQL, or some appserver specific format.
As an aside, the use of code generators to simplify the creation of EJBs lends itself well to BMP. By using a (or writing your own) code generator, you can mitigate the annoying SQL bugs that creep up early in development.
