Paradox - Should entity CMP EJB be faster than stateless session bean?

Please bear with me on this.
Just thinking of this scenario: hello world application. It can be implemented both as stateless session bean and entity bean.
There's no persistent. So for the entity bean, it will be container managed, and no code to do anything to the load/remove/create. - comparably the same as stateless bean.
Next, for the stateless session bean, each client call would require a dedicated instance of the EJB on the server (although for a very short amount of time). For the entity bean, it's shared, so only 1 instance is needed. It's also thread safe.
So, for a very high traffic, shouldn't the entity bean do better because of single instance?
What's other overhead?
Does the entity bean cost more connections than the stateless bean?

Feels like a comparison between apples and oranges.
A stateless session bean is like every other instance, so these can be pooled by the EJB container. The container is free to create an instance for each client if necessary. That's different.
A stateless session bean doesn't have to deal with a database that may or may not be located on another machine the way an entity bean does. There could be another network round trip involved. That's different.
Session and entity beans are intended for entirely different purposes. Just because you can write Hello World with both doesn't mean it's representative of what EJBs are used for. I don't think it's a good, meaninful comparison. JMO - MOD

  • A question about entity manager in stateless session bean.

    JSR 220 ejbcore, page 47 : stateless session bean: All business object references of the same interface type for the same stateless session bean have the "same object identity", which is assigned by the container.
    So, if we have two session beans in client code...
    @EJB Cart cart1;
    @EJB Cart cart2;
    then cart1.equals(cart2)==true
    If we declare entity manager in stateless session bean:
    @PersistenceContext( unitName="ds" ,type=PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION)
    private EntityManager em;If cart1 and cart2 are the same reference, do we have any problem when using the same reference(maybe the same em? ) to get data from db?

    If cart1 and cart2 are the same reference, do we have
    any problem when using the same reference(maybe the
    same em? ) to get data from db?No. In EJB, there is a distinction between the EJB reference and the bean instance.
    Each time you make an invocation on an EJB reference for a stateless session bean,
    the container can choose any instance of that bean's bean class to process the
    invocation. That's true whether you invoke the same reference multiple times or
    two difference references to the same bean.
    Each bean instance is guaranteed to be single-threaded.

  • BLOB field in Entity CMP EJB (DB = Oracle)

    I use Borland App Server 4.5.1 .
    I have table, which has BLOB column.
    My first question is:
    What datatype should corresponding field in Entity CMP EJB have?
    I set it to byte [].
    When I deal with BLOB data of small size, everything is OK.
    But when the size of BLOB data is few larger,
    when I insert new record
    an Oracle error happens: a sort of
    "TNS adapter error: end of communication chanel"
    I use thin jdbc-driver.
    So does anybody have an experience in working with BLOB field in Entity CMP EJB (DB = Oracle) ?
    may be, the solution is to write BMP fields in Entity EJB,
    i.e. to write own methods
    set[BLOB_COLUMN](...),
    get[BLOB_COLUMN]() ?
    Thank you for answers.

  • Stateless Session Bean + EJB Question + Jboss

    Hello,
    If I have a stateless session bean on a linux machine and it works locally what do i need to do to access a method in the session bean from a remote windows machine.
    I would like to be able to execute my client jar file on a windows machine and have it access the jboss server on the linux machine. what do i need to do?
    i have the session bean working locally on both windows and linux machine. do i need to to have a JSP/Servlet to access the session bean? can the session bean not be accessed directly? what should my classpath look like? do I need to include extra jar files in my client jar file.?
    Thanks,
    Joyce

    Thanks guys for the help but I am still a little lost.
    My Client windows machine has the client jar file and all the other jar files. This is my client class
    package helloworld.client;
    import javax.naming.Context;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import java.util.Hashtable;
    import java.util.Properties;
    import helloworld.interfaces.HelloWorldHome;
    import helloworld.interfaces.HelloWorld;
    public class HelloClient
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Hashtable prop = new Hashtable();
              prop.put ("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
              prop.put ("java.naming.provider.url","jnp://172.16.220.160:1099");
              prop.put ("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
              try
                   Context ctx = new InitialContext(prop);
                   Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/helloworld/HelloWorld");
                   System.out.println(obj);
                   HelloWorldHome home = (HelloWorldHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, HelloWorldHome.class);
                   HelloWorld helloWorld = home.create();
                   String str = helloWorld.sayHelloEJB("JOYCE is COOL");
                   System.out.println(str);
                   helloWorld.remove();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
    I get a NullPointer ie the home object is null. The IP address is the IP of the Linux machine that has Jboss running on.
    Questions are:
    1. Do I need to have Tomcat running on my client machine if I am to connect via HTTP? Does this alter my client code.?
    2. My JNDI lookup is what is causing the problem. Does my jboss.xml and my ejb-jar.jar look okay to you.

  • Can Entity Bean with Home Business Method replace Stateless Session Bean?

    Since Entity Bean can have business methods in the Home Interface, can we use Entity Bean with Home Business Methods to replace Stateless Session Bean?
    I am assuming we can get better performance by doing this since the overhead of creating Component Object can be avoided as compared to stateless session beans.

    Requires-new makes the container start a new transaction. Only use that flag
              at the point that you are certain that a NEW transaction should BEGIN. I
              suggest you use Required as your default for all methods in the application,
              and only change that to anything else when you are certain that you should.

  • Some methods not working in EJB 3.0 stateless session bean

    Hi,
    I am trying to build an application with EJB 3.0 stateless session bean in weblogic 10. In that during build (using ant 1.6) it showing error as one of the ejb-class should have anotataion as @stateless, @stateful or @messageDiven
    But i have given it corrrectly.
    When I comment some of the methods the same bean is working fine. While i have annoatated some of the methods with @transaction attribute annotataion.
    So, should i write all those methods there any particular order or what.
    Can anybody pls tell me, what can be the problem as weblogic.appc is giving such error?

  • Call stateless session bean EJB 2.0 from Webdynpro Java UI

    Hello,
    Can someone please tell me asto how to call a stateless session bean EJB 2.0 from Webdynpro Java UI?
    The NWDS version is 7.0.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Arya

    Hi Aryadipta
    Please check this pdfs
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10&overridelayout=true
    Steps for calling stateless session bean in Webdynpro java
    Go to NWDS -> open perspective ->j2ee
    select EJB Module Project ->create a project with name
    Open the Project -->RC on ejb-jar.xml -> Select new --> EJB
    Give name to EJB Bean (First letter should be in capital letters)
    select the type of bean as Stateless session bean and give the package name to store that EJB bean.
    After that Expand ejb-jar.xml and then select the <projectEJB> 
    Double click on this on method  tab double click you will get business method where we will create the methods for business logic
    Double click on projectEJB and then RC on bean tab and write required business logic in bean window as follows(based on requirement we will design a business logic).
    After writing the business logic go to project -> rebuild
    Till now we have created one EJB jar file
    then go to File-->Enterprise Application Project -->create a project (projectEAR)
    After creating a project click on next-> here we will have ear projects and then we select specific project required for our application.(here select projectEJB)
    After that Calculate EAR project will be available on j2ee explorer.
    Right click on <Bean> here
    select New->Web Service->give a name to webservice and select Default configuration type as simple SOAP
    -->click next -> Finish.
    That webservice and related are created in ejb-jar.xml .
    Expand the ejb-jar.xml.and double click on < webservice>
    RC ProjectEJB -> Build EJB Archive RC on CalculateEAR ->Build applicationarchive.
    Expand the projectEAR->RC on CalculateEAR.ear->Deploy to J2EE Engine
    Double click on calculateEAR.ear ->Webservice navigator tab ->we eill servers expand the node
    select the specific WebService  
    Here we test the webservice by click on Test and test it.
    After that go to Web dynpro perspective ->create one webdynpro Project and one component
    RC on model> Select import Web Service model(last)>give model name and package
    and select radio button as local file system or URL
    Go to WSnavigator->copy the WSDL path and paste it in model WSDL path and click on finish.
    from here onwards steps are same as that adaptive RFC model
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • EJB 3.1new instance of stateless session bean not created on new invocation

    I am using Netbeans 6.8 bundle that comes with JAVA EE 6. I have created a web application then created restful web services and then created few stateless session beans (with local interfaces) that are invoked from restful web services. From the browser, when I call the url with get method, restful web services are being invoked and they in turn calls stateless session beans and does the appropriate business logic. While testing, I observed that for every new url call from the browser, the same bean is being invoked. I tested this by adding a instance variable vector and adding one item ('test") to the vector in bean's method. My understanding is that on every bean's method invocation the vector should have only one item. However, the vector is growing with many "test" items. I am literally confused, not sure this is the way it is supposed to work. I tried to invoke bean's method from restful web service by using both dependency injection and jndi look up, both instances the vector is growing with many "test" items.
    I would really appreciate if some body gives me more insight.

    I appreciate your answers. There is a strong reason for posting this question. Basically, I am using JPA and using stateless session beans to invoke database calls. In the bean I am using the following code for entity manager.
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "AsgProtocolServerPU")
    private EntityManager em;
    I have noticed very strange scenario while getting records. From the application, I have obtained few records of a table. Then, I manually deleted few records from the table. Very strangely, I have obtained the deleted records during my next call to bean. After 2 hours, I tested the same and did not get those records. This is not consistent.
    I am totally confused. I am just wondering this is happening because I made beans local (not remote) and placed them in the web application (Java EE6 allows this). I am not sure whether this is JPA related issue or beans issue.

  • A tough one for EJB experts - Stateless session bean spec question

    I am busy learning more about EJBs and came across something confusing regarding the legal operations in the various container callback methods for stateless session beans.
    Specifically, the EJB spec states that in the ejbCreate() method, the SessionContext can be used to obtain a reference to the EJB Object. Now this makes perfect sense with stateful session beans, since the ejbCreate() method isn't called until a client is creating a bean and the container has linked that bean to the client's EJB Object. However, it is my understanding that when it comes to stateless session beans, the container creates the beans and adds them to the bean pool at its leisure. It is not until a business method is called by a client that a stateless bean is actually linked to an EJB object. So, how is it that a stateless bean could ever obtain a reference to an EJB Object from within ejbCreate(). Which EJB Object would it be linked to? This operation just doesn't appear to make sense in that context.
    Can anyone clarify this for me?

    Interesting question. I have such questions all the time! Here's a link to a similar discussion
    http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=70&t=000905
    Also, I tried this using Weblogic 8.1. Tried to access the EJBObject in ejbCreate before any business method was invoked. I did this by specifying a value for initial-beans-in-free-pool and found that the hash code for the EJBObject was the same for all the bean instances that were created on startup.
    I then invoked a business method and accessed the EJBObject in that method. Again the hash code for the object was the same as the one created on startup.
    Seemed to be that there is a 1:n relation between the EJBObject and bean instances.
    This may be container specific. The spec says the user should be able to invoke the getEJBObject() method in ejbCreate(), its upto the container to comply with it.

  • Registering EJB/Stateless Session Bean Web Service in Registry

    Hi verybody!
    I would like to know how I can register a Web Service in a registry. The web service is implemented as a session bean.
    The problem is not the actual code to register the service, but how and where can I hook this code into the application so that it is started when the application server is started.
    I've read the Sun J2EE tutorial which registered the service in the moment when the context for the servlet for an ordinary web client was created. This is not what I want. I would like to register the service when starting the EJB container, without the need to give it a kick from some external interface.
    Any help or ideas will be greatly welcome
    Regards
    PI

    1. But I thought you were using a 'stateful session bean'?
    2. For stateless session beans, there is no direct link between a remote reference and an instance of the bean. It is safe to hang on to the remote reference as long as you would like, of course it may go stale if the server dies. You will also find that the create() method does not actually contact the server, so doing it each usage costs very little. So, either way you should be fine.
    3. As for memory leaks, make sure that you are closing all statements, result sets, etc. promptly. These are commonly the problem. Also, use hprof or some other profile tool to determine what types of data you are allocating and (with better tools) what types of data you may be holding on to references to.

  • J2EE EJB stateless session bean lifecycle

    Hi all,
    I've developed a stateless session bean to manage starting/stopping a JCo server.
    What should I do in order to achieve these goals:
    1. The stateless session bean should be created when the SAP J2EE server is started.
    2. The stateless session bean may NEVER 'die'.
    Thanks,
    Jeroen

    hi
    good

  • Calling EJB 3.0 Stateless Session Bean

    Dear all,
    I created a stateless session bean with a hello world method on it. Now i want to call the method from a BeanDecorator class, through a getter metod. When i use the jndi lookup in my getter, i can call the helloWorld method without a problem. However, when i dont use the jndi lookup, and only use the @EJB annotation, i always get a nullpointer.
    This is working:
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
                   test = (TestLocal)ic.lookup("test.be/ear~bd/LOCAL/TestBean/"+TestLocal.class.getName());
                   test.helloWorld()
    This gives nullpointer:
    @EJB
    private TestLocal test;
    test.helloWorld();
    What is the correct way to consume session beans without having to explicitly code the jndi lookup?
    Kind regards.

    Hi,
    any annotation like this can be used only in "managed classes" like Session Beans, Servlets etc. Managed classes are those classes managed by the J2EE server. Managed here means, lifetime controlled by server.
    You can find this in J2EE specification.

  • Odd marshalling problems with EJB 3.0 stateless session bean

    Hello,
    I began encountering marshalling exceptions when invoking methods on a previously functionining facade bean. The problem seems to be almost arbitrary, in that certain packages receive marshalling exceptions, while others do not (my main client started failing, but then I realized that a simple test class was still working, along with oddly JSFs that invoke that main client, which fails outside of that scope). Is there some config issue with stateless session beans (in 3.0) that I might be missing? There are no duplicate versions of these class; they have not been modified; they've been compiled with the current IDE. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    My best advice: surrender to use an IDE.
    You wonder sometimes at how much productivity (read as 'time') could be wasted by doing something that could be done automatically. For a learning experience or a once only exercise is fine but as a routine thing, not worth it.
