How to generated weblogic-ejb-jar.xml through Jdeveloper

I am using JDevloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2. My application works fine in OC4J 10.1.3.3.
Now, I have to deploy my application on the Weblogic 10.3 server.
My EJB already contains ejb-jar.xml, which has all the descriptions for EJB.
I want to generate weblogic-ejb-jar.xml files for my EJBs through Jdeveloper, is there any option to do that in IDE?
Regards

Chandan,
Right-click the project, New...
Under the General category, choose Deployment Descriptor, then pick Weblogic Deployment Descriptor in the items. You can then choose weblogic-ejb-jar.xml in the next dialog.
If you don't see Deployment Descriptor in the category list, try selecting the All Technologies tab instead of the Project Technologies tab.

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>

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.

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:

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

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.
<?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.

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.

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

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...

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?

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).

O/R tool generates invalid ejb-jar.xml for 1-n cmp bean-to-bean relations

TopLink generates:
<ejb-relation>
<ejb-relation-name>Parent-Child</ejb-relation-name>
<ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role-name>Parent-has-childs</ejb-relationship-role-name>
<multiplicity>One</multiplicity>
<relationship-role-source>
<ejb-name>Parent</ejb-name>
</relationship-role-source>
<cmr-field>
<cmr-field-name>childs</cmr-field-name>
</cmr-field>
</ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role-name>child-owned-by-Parent</ejb-relationship-role-name>
<multiplicity>Many</multiplicity>
<cascade-delete></cascade-delete>
<relationship-role-source>
<ejb-name>Child</ejb-name>
</relationship-role-source>
</ejb-relationship-role>
</ejb-relation>
what's wrong?
it's missing the following tag:
'<cmr-field-type>java.util.Collection</cmr-field-type>'
which should be in the <cmr-field> element after the <cmr-field-name>.
I cannot get the UI tool to add this tag, whenever I manually add it to the ejb-jar.xml it gets removed the next time I generate the ejb-jar.xml. Additionally, if I try to update the project from the ejb-jar.xml, the O/R tool loses ALL my mappings for entity beans.
Expected questions:
TopLink 9.0.3
WebLogic 7.0.1
CMP 2.0
JDK 1.3.1_03
Yes the getter/setter are defined (on the local interface and bean)
FYI,
Andrew

JBuilder plugin does not generate orion-ejb-jar.xml

Hello,
We are using JBuilder to code EJB's. I downloaded the OC4J plugins for JBuilder 5 and 6. Everything installed right but filling in the deployment descriptor does not automatically generate XML entries in the orion-ejb-jar.xml. I have to do this by hand.
Deploying to OC4J 1.0.2.2.1 succeeds and also running OC4J 1.0.2.2.1 in the debugger of JBuilder succeeds.
I would like to see an automatic process of filling in the right tags in the orion-ejb-jar.xml just as what happens in JDeveloper or in JBuilder for the ejb-inprise.xml.
Who is responsible for making the plugins?
The plugins are good but things must be better for working with JBuilder to Oracle 9iAS.
Last big very big point is the lack of good documentation.
Oracle, when you have good technology please tell me in good documentation how to use it otherwise how will I ever discover the good things. Maybe we are trowing things away because of not knowing.
The plugins are only for working with OC4J 1.0.2.2.x.
When will there be plugins voor OC4J version 2?
With regards,
Johan Borchers
VDA informatiebegheersing.

Here is the URL where you can download the JBuilder7 plugin for OC4J 903. It supports CMP and automatically generates orion-ejb-jar.xml, but the CMR mapping is supported from JBuilder8 and the corresponding plugin.

"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.

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.

Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml : Are following extra tags harmless?

I am using xdoclets to generate descriptor file weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
for a BMP entity bean. Xdoclet is generating the descriptor file
alright, but is putting the following extra tags. This happens even
for samples which come with the download, so my tags in java file are
not wrong.
My question is, are the extra tags below harmless, or should I
manually go to each desciptor file and remove them?
Thanks.

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.

Problem with weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

while trying to deploy a session bean to Weblogic Server 6.1 it gives a message "encoding not supported".The xml encoding set in weblogic-ejb-jar file by JDeveloper is "windows-1252" which is the cause for error...Can anybody help me on this...

You need to use UTF-8 encoding for WebLogic.

Weblogic-ejb-jar.xml for a Session EJB

The weblogic-ejb-jar.xml generated for a Session EJB with local interfaces has a jndi-name element instead of local-jndi-name.
1. Create a Session EJB.
Select Include Local Interfaces.
2. In the META-INF directory select New>General>Deployment Descriptors>weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
The deployment descriptor generated has a jndi-name element.
For a Session EJB with local interfaces the element should be local-jndi-name.
thanks,
Deepak

weblogic-ejb-jar.xml jndi-name (instead of local-jndi-name) is with JDeveloper version 10.1.2 & 10.1.3
