Couldn't lookup Stateless Bean

I am trying to do lookup of my EJB from simple jave client,
My client code is
          try {
               initialContext = new InitialContext();
               System.out.println("After InitialContext");
               testHome = (TestHome)initialContext.lookup("ejb/ejbs/com/ibm/TestHome");
               System.out.println("After TestHome");
          } catch (NamingException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
but getting following error. Tried to find something on google but could not find anything, please help me out.
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

     at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:361)
     at com.ibm.TestEJB.EJBLookupTest.main(EJBLookupTest.java:54)
thanks in advance.

Hi,
The initialContext() method when called from a java client must provide it the ContextFactory class Name and the naming provider url.
There are two ways to achieve that:
1: you specify them in jndi.properties file like, the file will contain
java.naming.factory.initial={jndi context factory class name}
java.naming.provider.url={provider_url}
and this jndi.properties file must be in the class path.
2: you pass the properties as method arguments like
Properties props= new Properties();
props.put("java.naming.factory.initial",class name);
props.put("java.naming.provider.url",provider_url);
Context ctx= new InitialContext(props);
cheers,

EJB 3.0 Stateful bean not saving state while Stateless bean is !!!

My Stateless bean is as follow:
package test;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless(mappedName = "StatelessBean")
public class StatelessBean implements StatelessBeanRemote {
     int counter;
     public void increment(){
          System.out.println("Stateless counter value:"+counter);
          counter++;
My Stateful bean is as follow:
package test;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;
@Stateful(mappedName = "StateFulBean")
public class StateFulBean implements StateFulBeanRemote {
     int counter;
     public void increment(){
          System.out.println("Stateful counter value:"+counter);
Client is as follows:
package test;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class TestClient {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
          hashtable.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
          hashtable.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001");
          InitialContext ic;
          try {
               ic = new InitialContext(hashtable);
               StateFulBeanRemote stateFulBeanRemote = (StateFulBeanRemote)ic.lookup("StateFulBean#test.StateFulBeanRemote");
               stateFulBeanRemote.increment();
               StatelessBeanRemote statelessBeanRemote = (StatelessBeanRemote)ic.lookup("StatelessBean#test.StatelessBeanRemote");
               statelessBeanRemote.increment();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
The output i am getting after running the client twice is as follows:
//first time
Stateful counter value:0
Stateless counter value:0
//second time
Stateful counter value:0
Stateless counter value:1
Shouldn't the counter values be incremented in case of Stateful bean and remain the same for Stateless bean. But the output that I am getting is the complete opposite !!!
Can anyone please explain this confusing behavior of stateless and stateful ejb 3.0 beans.

Can anyone please explain this confusing behavior of stateless and stateful ejb 3.0 beans.It is very simple: a stateless bean is ASSUMED to be stateless; you cannot keep state in a stateless bean as a contractual rule. That doesn't mean that you will fail to keep state in them at least for a little while, they are still only Java objects. Generally stateless EJBs are pooled, so you may get the same instance each time you use such an EJB, but you may just get another one. It is not dependable and the rules say don't do it - so don't do it.
A stateful bean is tied to a single client, and so can be used by a client to keep state in it. Since You are running the client application twice you are operating with two different clients and so you will get a new stateful bean each time and your code will keep printing 0. However there is also a bug in your code:
public void increment(){
System.out.println("Stateful counter value:"+counter);
}You are not incrementing anything.

Performance of Session Stateless Bean in WebSphere with connection to DB

Im using WebSphere Advanced Single Server Edition Version 4.0.1. and a WebSphere DataSource to get my connections to Microsoft SQL 2000 (using netdirect's JSQLDriver).
For the EJB I set the transaction to 'requieresNew'.
For testing purposes I had been testing some code I'll be using in a Session Stateless Bean inside a servlet's method. In my servlet I use one single connection and preparedStatements to improve performance.
When I test it on the Servlet, this process takes around 3 minutes to complete, but when I put this code inside a Session Stateless Bean and call it from this servlet's method, it takes around 30 minutes to complete!. How is this possible?!
Worst of all, when the EJB ends and the process returns to the Servlet, it throws me this exception.
com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException: class com.ibm.ejs.cm.proxy.PreparedStatementProxy is closed.
The code uses some utilities from a Framework we created, but I really doubt it affects the performance since I put such classes in a jar file and the EJB is accessing such classes correctly.
I thought that maybe I was missing something related with how I get the connection inside the EJB, but I had no luck trying to figure this out.
This is the code in my EJB, commented code was in use when this code was tested in the method of the servlet (some code has been removed or modified, so I just left the 'main' body of the code):

I forgot to mention that I create a connection (autocommit false) at the begining of my servlet, which I use throught all the servlet, then I call the EJB, and after the EJB succeds I also close the transaction in the Servlet (to commit what is on the servlet, not the EJB). Thats why I set the transaction in the EJB to requiresNew, so after the EJB ends it commits its own transaction, Am I right?.
The Exception I get I think its because the connection used in the servlet timed out while waiting for the EJB to finish.
This issue has become urgent, so please if you know why I have this problem reply ASAP.
Thanks!

Stateless bean giving error when deployed through j2ee 1.3RI

I have written a simple stateless bean and deployed through j2ee 1.3 RI
Context initial = new InitialContext(h);
Object obj = initial.lookup("SampleObject"); // SampleObject -jndi name
SampleHome home = (SampleHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, SampleHome.class);
But when running the Client , getting the error
java.lang.ClassCastException
at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PoartableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source) at SampleClient.main(SampleClient.java:27)
Is it a system error or what

Hi sessionbean,
The most common cause of this exception is when the RMI-IIOP stubs are not found within the client's classpath. The client stubs are returned from the deployment step.
Also, it's better to use the no-arg initial context constructor "new InitialContext()" and let the J2EE 1.3 RI code bootstrap the correct naming service.

How to lookup a bean from a standalone app.

I've got the following question..
I've created a stateless sessionbean and deployed it in the J2EE Server 1.3.1. (That one you get from Sun when you download the J2EE SDK) I've created a client for my bean, and when i execute it with the 'runclient -client my.ear -name myclientclass' command, it works just fine.
But, i now want to run it as a standalone application, without the 'runclient' command. I am able to create an initialcontext (without any properties), but my bean can not be found in 'java:comp/env/ejb/bean' (the same name i use with the 'runclient' command, so the bean should be there). My guess is that i should add some initial context properties, but which ones? All the examples i can find are with ldap context factories. Can anyone give me any advice on how to connect to the J2EE server and lookup my bean?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Hi,
You could write something as below
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp:localhost:1099");
env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
Session_LocalHome session_lh = (Session_LocalHome) ctx.lookup("Session_Home");
Session_ session_ = session_lh.create();
OR
Use a jndi.properties file which would have the same entries as above, please search over internet and find out what to include in it.
One more thing to note is, in above example i said
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp:localhost:1099");
meaning the lookup is on port 1099, this is not same for all the servers. Check your server documentation and find out " What is the port number on which your server listens ? "

Exception while getting the server instance. Stateless bean problem

Hi,
New to OC4J, I'm moving an ear that was running ok under jboss.
1- The wep app deploys. This is a piece of code inside the init() method of a struts plugin:
     System.out.println("0");
     AddressFacadeHome addressFacadeHome = HomeFactory.getAddressFacadeHome();
     System.out.println("1.0");
     AddressFacade addressFacade = addressFacadeHome.create();
     System.out.println("1.5");
2- The code is run when the web app is initialized. This is the error message I get. system.out show that the error occurs on addressFacadeHome.create().
AddressFacade is a remote/local stateless bean. HomeFactory returns the jndi lookup/narrow of the remote object.

My guess is that it's a jaas issue (because i see security and getCurrentUser), but at init time, no user is authenticated.
Any clue would be very much appreciated. Let me know if I can provide anything else, such as deployment descriptors.
Thanks,

After spending some time on this, I looked at the source code for com.evermind.server.ThreadState
This is the code that throws the exception:
if(applicationThread != null && applicationThread.httpHandler != null && applicationThread.servletInfo != null)
try
server = applicationThread.httpHandler.request.getApplication().getApplication().getServer();
catch(Throwable t)
System.out.println("caught exception while getting the server instance " + t.getMessage());
t.printStackTrace(System.out);
It looks like this method expects a httpRequest, and would find null because I'm in the servlet.init()
(at least, that's my interpretation)
I tested my code (the remoteFacade.create()) inside of a jsp, and it worked...
So, the next logical question is:
Can I make EJB calls from within the init method of a servlet? (or more specifically from a struts plugin, which I believe should be more or less the same thing)
If so, do I need to take extra steps?
Again, any experience/help on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Christophe.

EjbHome method vs stateless bean method

Does the ejbHome<method> and stateless bean method share the same concept?

Hi,
Basically the ejbHome<Method> will be the call onto the home object and it inturn uses the bean to make a call where as the stateless session bean method will be a call onto the ejb object.
So in the client code making a call you just make a looup and call the ejbHome<method> whereas in case of stateless session bean , you need to make a lookup and create and then use the object.
Hope this helps...

Instance of ejb2 stateless bean

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Object objref = ctx.lookup(PARAMCTRL_IJNDIName.SBAppComboDb);
homeAppComboDb = (SBAppComboDbHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, SBAppComboDbHome.class);
remoteAppComboDb = homeAppComboDb.create();
1)How many instance of that particular stateless bean is created in ejb container?
2)Does instance of stateless being destroy after ejbRemove()? which mean can be garbage colletion.
3)can other user sharing use the same instance of the stateless bean after remove?
4)is stateless bean thread safe?

Stateless Bean imposing webservice in Weblogic 10

Hi..
Is it possible to implement Stateless bean webservice using jwsc task and deploying both services(ejb and webservice) as EAR???.
If anybody knows please let me know what are the steps to follow.
Thanks in advance and your help is appreciated........

Hi,
if you don't want to use @EJB to inject the EJB, then you'll need declare the EJB reference in deployment descriptor.
Here is an example copied from EJB3 spec:
<ejb-local-ref>
<description>
This is a reference to the local business interface
of an EJB 3.0 session bean that provides a payroll
service.
</description>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Payroll</ejb-ref-name>
<local>com.aardvark.payroll.Payroll</local>
</ejb-local-ref>
then you can lookup the local ejb from "java:comp/env/ejb/Payroll".

CacheFullException with Stateless bean

Hallo everbody,
I have a problem with a Stateless bean the log file give me this error:
javax.ejb.EJBException: Exception during transition from pooled to ready:
- with nested exception:
[weblogic.ejb20.cache.CacheFullException: Cache is at its limit of: '100' *active*
beans.]
I use this bean for several action, and just for an action I have this error.
What I can't underastand that Stateless bean get with the session and as the user
close the session the Bean have to expire, isn'it? So can't uderstand while 100
Bean still on the cache.
Could anyone help me?
Thank's a lot

1. check thread dump ... any threads actually still busy?
2. is it stateful or is it stateless? I don't mean how do you deploy it, but
I mean which is it really? does it have any state?
3. always call remove() ... this isn't the problem (Weblogic doesn't require
remove()) but you should do so anyway.
Peace,

Hi,
I have a statelesss session bean which i m using in the application.Initially
this bean was stateful bean but due to problems of timeout it was changedto stateless
bean. The problem is sometimes when i view the statistics from console, ifind
that there are max 20 beans allowed and all 20 are in use. Because ofwhich no
user can work further and i have to shutdown the server. I fail tounderstand
this cause being a stateless session bean it should be released (returnedto free
pool) as soon as the method is over. So why this behaviour. Any idea.
Thanks in Advance

Stateless Bean - scope of instance variable in EJB Timer call back function

Hi,
I would like to know on the scope of an instance variable of a Stateless Bean object,
when used in a EJB Timer call back.Let me explain this in more detail below.
I have a requirement to use a EJB Timer.
For this, I have created a stateless object since Timer creation needs to be done
from a stateless bean. I have a member variable "count" of the stateless bean class.
In the timer call back(ejbTimeout), I am able to use this count variable during
each time of the call back, and the value of this variable is also updated properly.
I have a few queries with respect to the above behaviour:
1) Does stateless bean object not get destroyed once the Timer is created from the Bean?
2) If the Bean object is not destroyed, then when does the bean object get destroyed?
3) If both (1) and (2) are not true, then can anyone explain on how the above behaviour is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
The ejb timer is associated with the stateless session bean component, not with a particular bean instance. There is no formal relationship between the bean instance that called createTimer() and the bean instance on which the timer callback happens. If they're the same in your test run that's just a coincidence and not something your application should be depending on.
In the stateless session bean model, the container can create and destroy stateless session bean instances at any time. The container is free to pick any stateless session bean instance to service any client invocation or timer callback. If you need to pass context into a timer callback, one way to do it is via the timer "info" object. However, the info object is immutable so it wouldn't be a good match for a counter. You could of course always just use a database for any necessary coordinated state.

Hi Dhanabal,
i got the same error. But it is clear.
Please chek once ur configuration part. The error is in configuration part only.

Unable to rollback using BMT in a stateless bean

Hi,
My stateless bean contains the following testing code
UserTranaction ut = null;
try{
ut = context.getUserTransaction();
ut.begin();
// get database connection from OracleDataSource
// via container
// update a recored in db
if (true)
throw new Exception();
ut.commit();
} catch (Exception e){
ut.rollback();
} finally {
// close connection
I am using oracle 817 jdbc driver and when I execute the method,
the changes in DB are not rolledback and there is no exception
thrown. My questions are
1). Is BMT really work in oc4j? Anyone try before?
2). Is there any additional conditions/setting need to be done
in order to make BMT work? such as dataSource setting, database
configuration...
3). Could anyone provide sample code with related settings?
(especially what datasoure u are using)
Thank you very much!!!

Have you already tried to load the class like this:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader.loadClass(actionName);
Instead of using the same classloader that loaded your bean implementation, it uses the classloader given to the executer thread as the context classloader.
(In many cases this will be the same, but I don't know how this is done in the implementation of your container).

JAAS and stateless bean

i have a very simple stateless bean with a single "hello" method running in WL 8.1 sp3. to test out Weblogic's behavior, i ran 2 seaparate scenarios on 2 separate occasions. in the first one, i secured all bean methods. in the 2nd one, i secured only the home's "create" mthod, while explicitely denoting all remote methods as "unchecked". next, i wrote a standalone client class where the aforemention bean's EJBHome.create() is called from within a PrivilegedAction-inherited class, while hello() method is called straight up without the use of PrivilegedAction. moreover, the hello() method also prints out the SessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName(). finally, an UNsecured servlet utilizing that class was deployed in Tomcat5 and another instance of Weblogic. this is where is gets interesting. when executing the standalone class or the Tomcat's servlet in both scenarios, the results are the same: both create() and hello() get called without a problem, while the latter method prints out correct principal name. however, Weblogic hosting the unsecured servlet behaves differently (and undesirably). in the first scenario where all methods are secured, create() is allowed to be executed, but calling hello() results in an insufficient privileges error. in the 2nd scenario, where only create() method is secured, Weblogic allows hello() to be called without a problem. however, the principal that it returns is "anonymous". my question is how is it possible for not only Tomcat, but even a standalone class to call a secured method without the use of PrivilegedAction and get back a correct principal? yet when absolutely identical code is called from another Weblogic instance, i cannot even obtain a correct principal despite the use of PrivilegedAction!!!
thanks!

Hi "werwer" (or is that "wer" :-),
I haven't checked the forum archives, so I may have already mentioned
this to you (or I may have already mentioned it to someone else
on this forum), but there are many resources available on the
Internet that can answer nearly all your J2EE related questions!
I would like to mention two. (If you already know about them, then
I suggest you study them. If you have already studied them and
still don't know the difference between a stateful and a stateless
session bean, then perhaps you can be a bit more specific about
what, in particular, you are having difficulty with.)

Stateless Bean - Web Service Context

Is there anyway to specify the root context of a stateless bean that is also annotated as a webservice
Example
@Stateless
@Local(**)
@LocalHome(**)
@WebService(**)
@WLHttpTransports(contextPath="rootPath", serviceUri="uri")
Normally i would expect this to be accessible through http://host:port/rootPath/uri?WSDL
This format does work without the session bean if ran through Weblogics Generators, but is it possible to do the same thing with a bean? Or if it's not possible using WLHttpTransports what would the other method be?
Thank you

user8008029,
The WLS JAX-WS stack does not support all of the proprietary annotations from the JAX-RPC stack. This annotation (@WLHttpTransports) is one example. However, you can still override the context and service mapping using descriptors.
The descriptor is [weblogic-webservices.xml|http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/webserv_ref/dd.html] ...
Here is a sample:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-webservices xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-webservices" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-webservices http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-webservices/1.0/weblogic-webservices.xsd">
<webservice-description>
<webservice-description-name>YourEJBService</webservice-description-name>
<webservice-type>JAXWS</webservice-type>
<port-component>
<port-component-name>YourPort</port-component-name>
<service-endpoint-address>
<webservice-contextpath>rootPath</webservice-contextpath>
<webservice-serviceuri>/uri</webservice-serviceuri>
</service-endpoint-address>
</port-component>
</webservice-description>
</weblogic-webservices>
Note: you may use the <WLHTTPTransport/> element with the [ jwsc ant task|http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/webserv_ref/anttasks.html#wp1069899] . This will build your service and automatically create the appropriate descriptors.
