Netbeans 6.9 Glassfish server 3 EJB application client deployment error

I have an example that I downloaded from the Netbeans docs and whenever I try to run it on my machine, the application client that is supposed to print out a hello message gives me the following error.
post-dist:
dist-directory-deploy:
pre-run-deploy:
Initial deploying EntAppClient to D:\SCT400\LIFESPRING EE\EntAppClient\dist\gfdeploy\EntAppClient
Completed initial distribution of EntAppClient
deploy?path=D:\SCT400\LIFESPRING EE\EntAppClient\dist\gfdeploy\EntAppClient&name=EntAppClient&force=true failed on GlassFish Server 3
D:\SCT400\LIFESPRING EE\EntAppClient\nbproject\build-impl.xml:257: The module has not been deployed.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)
The full example of the project is found in the following url [Netbeans project|http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/javaee/javaee-gettingstarted.htm]
my JDK is 6 update 21 and I'm using Java EE6. Help me through this because my project is anchored on being distributed and I cannot proceed until I get this right.

I got the same problem, the error log detail is below, I have checked the gf-client.jar, it is right in the folder.

EJB Application Client clarification

Hi EJB Guru,
I would like some clarification on accessing Remote/Local Session Bean using an Application Client. In other word,
there appears to be more than one approach to the same Session bean. Let's start by declaring the Converter EJB:
package converter.ejb;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface Converter {
    public BigDecimal dollarToYen(BigDecimal dollars);
    public BigDecimal yenToEuro(BigDecimal yen);
package converter.ejb;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class ConverterBean implements converter.ejb.Converter {
    private BigDecimal euroRate = new BigDecimal("0.0070");
    private BigDecimal yenRate = new BigDecimal("112.58");
    public BigDecimal dollarToYen(BigDecimal dollars) {
        BigDecimal result = dollars.multiply(yenRate);
        return result.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_UP);
    public BigDecimal yenToEuro(BigDecimal yen) {
        BigDecimal result = yen.multiply(euroRate);
        return result.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_UP);
}I have two method to accessing this bean.
( i ) Lookup JNDI using the following set of code:
package converter.client;
import converter.ejb.Converter;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
public class ConverterClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            ConverterRemote jndiconverter = (ConverterRemote) ctx.lookup("converter.ejb.ConverterRemote");
            BigDecimal param = new BigDecimal("100.00");
            BigDecimal yenAmount = jndiconverter.dollarToYen(param);
            System.out.println("$" + param + " is " + yenAmount + " Yen.");
            BigDecimal euroAmount = jndiconverter.yenToEuro(yenAmount);
            System.out.println(yenAmount + " Yen is " + euroAmount + " Euro.");
            System.exit(0);
        } catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
            System.err.println("Caught an unexpected exception!");
            ex.printStackTrace();
}( ii ) Application Client lookup?
package converter.client;
import converter.ejb.Converter;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
public class ConverterClient {
    @EJB
    private static Converter converter;
    /** Creates a new instance of Client */
    public ConverterClient(String[] args) {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConverterClient client = new ConverterClient(args);
        client.doConversion();
    public void doConversion() {
        try {
            BigDecimal param = new BigDecimal("100.00");
            BigDecimal yenAmount = converter.dollarToYen(param);
            System.out.println("$" + param + " is " + yenAmount + " Yen.");
            BigDecimal euroAmount = converter.yenToEuro(yenAmount);
            System.out.println(yenAmount + " Yen is " + euroAmount + " Euro.");
            System.exit(0);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.err.println("Caught an unexpected exception!");
            ex.printStackTrace();
}It is the first time I come a cross method ( ii ) and could not get it to work properly. The error message
received were:

asadmin>My questions are:
( a ) Why does the error occur?
( b ) what is the architecture difference in accessing the same bean? Does JNDI lookup allows one to access EJB from remote host as opposed the method ( ii ) which is only restricted to local access on the same JVM/Container?
( c ) What are the pros & cons between the two?
I am using Application Client to lookup these Session Beans on Netbeans 5.5, SJSAS 9.0, SDK 1.5.0_11 on Windows XP platform.
Any guideance/advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Henry

Hi, may be you can help me with a similar problem that I have, I transcript the post in the netbeans forum, I really hope that you or someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!
I hope that somebody can help me solving this issue.
Environment:
NetBeans 6.0 beta1 + glassfish b58g fresh installed
Windows XP
Make a new enterprise application with application client. Run the empty Main and it runs ok.
Now create a Stateless Session Bean with hello method.
In the Application Client Main insert a reference to the EJB using the wizard. (@EJB etc...)
invoke the hello method from the main().
right click on libraries from application client and add the application-ejb project
Deploy and it deploys ok, but when you run it throws an exception:
client:
java.lang.NullPointerException
server:
Error in annotation processing: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/arautos/revista/sacrae/server/business/SACRAEFacadeRemote;
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\opt\glassfish-v2-b58g\domains\domain1\applications\j2ee-modules\SACRAE-app-client\SACRAE-ejb.jar (El sistema no puede hallar el archivo especificado)
Remember we added the project to the appclient libraries. If I place the missing file in the applications directory of glassfish it wont work, because when you run it, deploying on the server will erase it again. But, if you copy the jar file in the directory and open it with 7zip or any other application that can keep the file open, when you run it again it will work (because the server is not able to delete the file).
Although this is a workaround, there should be something I am doing wrong to cause this behavior, now when I try to use Java Web Start to execute the client it fails (surprisingly) with this exception:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/arautos/revista/sacrae/server/business/SACRAEFacadeRemote
at org.arautos.revista.sacrae.client.desktop.Main.main(Main.java:30)
... 21 more
And I don't know where in the domain1 directory place the jar, worse, I don't know how to solve the issue with the ejb-jar in the first place, does anybody has an idea, link, same problem? I have googled, netbeans-ed and java.net-ed a lot but didn't find anything :(
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best Regards.

Application client deployment

i studied the roles and resposibility of EJB
bean provider - will create beans, remote and home interface.
app assembler - will assemble beans
I am not able to understand who is responsible for deploying Application Client .I think Deployer will deploy only beans and not application client..correct me if iam wrong.

will deploy only beans and not application
client..correct me if iam wrong.Nope, you aren't wrong. The role of the Deployer is only to deploy the EJBs and be done with it. The application client will be deployed by some fucking nut who wants to use those EJBs. He will certainly know what to do with the EJB but nothing related to how it is deployed.
Did I say a word too much?

When I add java 1.2 rt.jar to library list of deployment, this
problem can be solved.
However, then, insufficient privelege error occurs when
deployment program seems to try to load rt.jar file to the
Oralce 8i JServer.
How should I configure environment to make ACME video EJB sample
to run?
Thanks,

There should be some error in looking up the Jndi..
In weblogic server I have been using the following code:
     try
          Context ctx = getContext.getInitialContext();
          HelloHome home = (HelloHome)ctx.lookup("MyHello");
          Hello hello = home.create();
          System.out.println(hello.display());
     catch(Exception e)
          System.out.println("Error :");
          e.printStackTrace();
     static String user = null;
     static String password = null;
     static String url = "t3://localhost:7001";
     * Gets an initial context.
     * @return Context
     * @exception java.lang.Exception if there is
     * an error in getting a Context
     static public Context getInitialContext() throws Exception
          Properties p = new Properties();
          p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
          p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
          if (user != null)
     System.out.println ("user: " + user);
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
               if (password == null)
                    password = "";
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
return new InitialContext(p);
this works fine in weblogic..
also check if ur classpath is ok..

Glassfish appication server + application client onj ipad.

Hello All!
I'm not sure my topic is proper here.
I have written an enterprise application on glassfish v2 application server with java application client. This application client is running on PCs with windows/linux OS. On server side I'm using EJBs. The task is to adopt additionally the client on ipads without/with minimal backend changes. And there are some options for that purpose. Which of there options is best choice? Or are there any other options?
- to integrate Sun Glassfish Mobility Platform with Glassfish Enterprise v2 server on server side and to use Java ME on client side.
- just to create an web module.
- to develop client application using Objective-O/Cocoa and to provide its interaction with glassfish server. In this case it's impossible to use EJBs. I found out this integration is able with SOAP, but how it's works I don't know.
Any opinion will be very helpful!
Thanks!

Yes, ipads are able to support Java ME.Can you show a reliable source that proves this? Because I certainly can't find one. As far as I can tell you have to use an Apple approved SDK and you are only allowed to use Apple approved API calls even - nothing related to Java.

How to run application client of an EJB application?

Hi,
My EJB application is deployed on websphere. I have written a small java client program to interact with an EJB which is working fine if I compile and run it in websphere studio environment.
However I am getting runtime exception when I tried to run it at command line.
RemoteConn.java
import java.util.Hashtable;
import com.deque.HelloJavaHome;
import com.deque.HelloJava;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Context;

public class RemoteConn {
public static void main(String[] ar) throws Exception{
String name="Paruchuri!!";
String greeting = "";
try{
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
//env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.ws.naming.util.WsnInitCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:2809");
InitialContext initContext = new InitialContext(env);
Object obj = initContext.lookup("ejb/HelloJavaHome");
HelloJavaHome home = (HelloJavaHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, HelloJavaHome.class);
HelloJava remote = home.create();
greeting = remote.getGreeting(name);
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Greeting::"+ greeting);
I have set the application ejb client jar in the class path of client program.
The exception I am getting at runtime is

at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
at RemoteConn.main(RemoteConn.java:38)
Initially I thought I shuold set some jar file of websphere in the classpath of client. But I did not find such a jar containing the above class in websphere studio.
Basically the error is generated at the below statement at runtime.
Object obj = initContext.lookup("ejb/HelloJavaHome");
The only difference I discovered was that the client application has a descriptor file (application-client.xml ) available to it when it ran in websphere studio,. I guess the same META-INF should be provided to client when it runs at command line.
Right now I am not using any client descriptor file to run the client program. If the above error is due to not supplying META-INF to the client application, how should I make this folder available to client at runtime?
I greatly appreciate if I could get help ASAP.
Thanks

Hey got what is going on. In order to invoke EJB, deployed on WebSpehre App Server, from application client we need to install either WebSphere Application Pluggable Client or WebSphere Thin client on the workstation. Pluggable client is a wrapper to SUN JRE where as Thin Client uses IBM JRE.

Startup class/process for EJB application

Hi,
I have an EJB module deployed on WebLogic8.1. My requirement is I would like to have a startup/shutdown class which is called when the EJB application is deployed. I have made some research and have found I can write startup/shutdown classes when for the server life cycle or for application life cycle events. Can anyone tell me write/deploy a startup/shutdown class for the EJB module life cycle.
Thanks,
Faizulla

Hi,
For Server life cycle events you can write server startup/shutdown classes.(You can see it from the console application)
For application life cyccle events, please go through:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/programming/app_xml.html#1007582
You can specify it <listener> part of application.xml.
This is impossible in J2EE standard. But perhaps this can be achieved by some app. server specific extensionYes,in earlier versiobns there was weblogic-ejb-extensions.xml file in which you can specify startup/shutdown class, like:
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-ejb-extensions SYSTEM "weblogic-ejb-extensions.dtd" >
<weblogic-ejb-extensions>
<module-initializer-classs>
<moduleinitializer-class-name>com.dcons.iss.ejb.MUTBStatusObject</moduleinitializer-class-name>

Application client / jndi

hello
how can i get access to a bean running on a application server from a application client that doesn't run i a container ( is not statred e.g. with suns runclient -client... ). what do i have to write in my lookup(..) call? lookup(java:comp/env/ejb...) doesn't work. ( errormessage: " can use java:comp/env only from a j2ee component".)
thanks

You can use the following code to get the reference to Context
* url - url of the app server
* username - username for accessing the appserver
* password - password for accessing the appserver
public static Context getInitialContext(String url, String username, String password)
Context context = null;
try
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
context = new InitialContext(prop);
catch (NamingException ne)
ne.printStackTrace();
return context;
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" is a class specific to WebLogic. You should refer to the documentation for the app server you are using for this fully qualified class name

Application Client Enity Manager cannot find Persistence Unit with JWS

I have an Enterprise Application Project in Netbeans 6.7.1.
The enterprise application client module has the business code and the
persistence unit (TopLink) defined in the app-client.jar. I can run this
application clinet from NB without a problem. I can also run it with JWS
if I remove the EnityManager.
I'm using JPA (EnityManager) in a Java SE environment.
When I try and run the app-client from Java Web Start I get an error
that the EnityManager cannot find the PU. The persistence unit is packaged in the app.ear->app-client.jar->META-INF->persistence.xml.
There's not a wealth of information, that I could find on the net, but this
seems to be correct.
The error I get is:
INFO: ACC009: Load Application Class: [jws.Main]
hello world! From JWS
Dec 3, 2009 11:44:21 AM com.sun.enterprise.appclient.MainWithModuleSupport <init>
WARNING: ACC003: Application threw an exception.
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named JWS-app-clientPU: The following providers:
oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider
oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider
Returned null to createEntityManagerFactory.
Any ideas on what I need to do to properly package the PU for an Enterprise Application Client ??
Thanks,
David

I solved this problem.
When we call resources from EAR application, WebLogic adds "Cache-Control=private, no-cache, no-store, s-maxage=0, must-revalidate" to all responses header.
It was the reason of error occurence.
I used filter from http://flavio.tordini.org/http-headers-filter to remove Cache-Control from header when calling jar resources.
After that, applicatiom started to work again.

J2EE Application Client

I used Sun Java Studio Enterprise to create a stateful session bean (Cart as in the J2ee Tutorial) and deployed it to Sun Application Server (v7). Then in the same application, I creaed a New EJB Test Application (web based test application) called Cart_TestApp by highlighting the Cart (EJB) node and clicking "Create New EJB Test Application" . Everything is perfect and I could use this Cart_TestApp (once again it is web based test app) to test each function defined in the CartHome, Cart. After that, I created another application client to test this Cart bean. The way I did is that I created another J2EE Application Client called CartTestClient by using Templates-->J2EE--->Application Client. Then in the property sheet of this Application Client, I specified two properties:
1. Application Server----- Server1 (localhost:8080)
2. EJB Reference----
2.1 Reference Name---- ejb/Cart
2.2 Reference EJB Name----Cart
2.3 Type---Session
2.4 Home Interface ----CartHome
2.5 Remote Interface ---Cart
After that, I built this Application Client and executed the Application Client, but Studio prompts the following error message:
You must either set a target application, or provide a client stub jar path in the Sun Java System AS tab on the client property sheet!
In this case, I clicked ellipse for the "Target Application" on the property sheet, which finally only allows me to specify "Cart_TestApp" , note not Cart(EJB), as the Target Application. And I did it. Finally it works just fine for the Application Test.
Now my questions are:
1. How to get the EJB client stub jar in the studio for this Cart (EJB)?
2. Why does the Application Client work just fine after I specified the "Target Application" item in the property sheet as "Cart_TestApp" since "Cart_TestApp" is only a web based test application for the Cart (EJB)? It seems to me that the EJB Application Client has nothing to do with "Cart_TestApp" since both of them are just test clients (one is web based, another standalone java client). Any insights??
Thanks.
Yang

I have figured it out now and actually Cart_TestApp is just an enterprise application generated by Studio with Cart(EJB) inside. Got confused it with SJSAS v8.

Using JAAS on an Application Client Container

I am trying to authenticate users who are going to be accessing
EJBs from an Application Client Container developed using AWT/Swing.
I am able to authenticate users accessing these EJBs via the Web Client.
But some how I get the following error when I run the ACC client:

What am I missing?
I have read the following documentation but cant seem to figure out what I am missing.

http://java.sun.com/security/jaas/doc/module.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/tutorials/index.html
I added a lot of log info in the JDBCLoginModule : authenticate() method.
It seems to me like the authenticate() method is never called. Because nothing is
logged from this method.
Thanks a million
Stephen

I have not been able to figure this one out yet so put it on the
back burner.
I am still waiting for an answer.
Did you find the answer?

EJB QL (deployment error)

I'm trying to deploy an application containing 2.0 style CMPs to OC4J 9.0.3...
One of the CMP beans has a EJB-QL finder method. I packaged the application using Ant and tried deploying it to OC4J.

* I modified the query a bit and was able to deploy the application.
* This is what I have now:
<![CDATA[SELECT OBJECT(a) FROM Address AS a WHERE a.coNum IS NULL]]>
* It somehow doesn't like the $1 notation.
* Are there any workarounds for this?

Getting the InitialContext in an application client

I have an application client deployed in my application. When I run the client like this:
java -jar reconcile-client/reconcile-client.jar
It is failing with this exception when trying to look up anything through the InitialContext object:
Exception in thread "main" 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.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:640)
        at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:243)
        at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:280)
        at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
        at aoc.arkansas.ReconcileClient.main(ReconcileClient.java:26)Is there another way I should be running the client? According to this link I shouldn't have to supply any information to the constructor of the InitialContext object. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28221/servjndi011.htm

You missed the part where it says you have to use "oracle.j2ee.naming.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory" and that you should see "Configuring an Oracle Initial Context Factory" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28221/servjndi011.htm#CIACBCHB). Follow that link and you'll find you have to pass in a map with the "java.naming.factory.initial" property set to that factory, and with the "java.naming.provider.url" property set up to point to the OC4J server.

Help me

Hi Saru,
It seems u dont have the correct sdm password or someone has changed the sdm password.It has not accepted the credentials u have given during deployment.
Check with all Sap enterprise portal settings in the prefernces/NWDS
The host name,alias,port
If not done with
Try to change the sdm password using this Password trouble in SDM
restart server again after changes
even try
- Stop nd restart the sdm from yor NWDS and deploy once again
Thanks,
Swathi
Do offer pts:-)
