Second thread call to stateful session bean

Hi,
My application runs on 9.0.3 and works fine.
I am migrating my application from OC4J 9.0.3 to OC4J 9.0.4.
Anyone knows anything about this error ? I don't understand where is the problem.
Thanks.
Bye

Hello,
I work with Chris and this is one of the stacktraces we get while running two clients. I say "one of" because sometimes I get another one too, with the description "No Active transaction".
When there is only a single client, the client program runs OK, but when there are more than one client, one of them aborts with an error.
The pseudo-code, as Chris said, is:
1. getSessionContext().getUserTransaction().begin();
2. Do DB stuff (CMP, BMP etc)
3. getSessionContext().getUserTransaction().commit();
Each one theses steps is a remote call.
I tried to print the status of the transaction before the commit and it normally prints ACTIVE. But suddently after some number of runs (), the status returns NO_TRANSACTION and the program aborts.
Thank you,
JoÃ£o.
This is the stackTrace:

1) Second thread call to stateful session bean.

Hi Friend,
I read your threads on otn and i compared your problem with us and i analysed that your application and my application is same, So Plese can you help me in some issues.
Friend, Please help me in these issues, Thanks for this
We have very big ADF Swing+BC Application and deployed as Stateful Session Bean. in my application there are 500 Application Modules,For each application module i created Stateful session beans and deployed it on OC4J Container but when working on deployed application then i am getting time out error after 15 min of working.
1). I set that parameter that you mentioned i.e jbo.ejb.txntimeout = 86400,but still it is giving me same error.
2). Second Issue is of ---ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
For this issue i chaged the Database Parameter i.e OpenCurser=2000, but still it is giving me same error,
is there any parameter on application module required to change so that this error will not come.
3). When i close the form then application module is not releasing database connection.
4). (oracle.oc4j.rmi.OracleRemoteException) Second thread call to stateful session bean
This error is also coming when I am using deployed application for long time i.e more than 15 min for Heavy Transactions

Hi Suyog,
How r u?
We all are fine.
I alerady tried for the Max Curser Property but it is not helpfull.
I think again i have to go for closing opened db RS and statements.

OrionRemoteException: Second thread call to stateful session bean

What happen for "com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: Second thread call to stateful session bean".
I am using JSP/Servlet/EJB and OC4J. When user click the JSP page button to fast, sometimes the error will appear, and then the OC4J will stop, I need to restart the OC4J.
I am using standlone OC4J 9.0.3.0.0
Thanks in advance,
Perry

Have you cached the remote object you obtained for the stateful session beamn and are reusing the same object on subsequent requests from the JSP page? So in effect, you are making a second call to the bean before the first method call completes?
Without knowing anything about what you are doing or how you app is constructed, you may want to set some form of flag for the user session to indicate whether the bean is in use, which you can check before using the bean in requests. When the bean method call completes, open the gate again. If the bean is in use, return a nice message to the user telling them to hold off for a short while.

Spawning thread in the stateful session bean

I ran into an interesting issue: I am spawning a thread inside
my stateful session bean's ejbCreate(...) method. The spawned
thread runs in an infinite loop until some stop signal. The
thread uses some BMP entity beans to access some data from DB,
it creates some BMP entity beans as well as creates another
stateful session bean in each iteration. The application ran
into a crash. Now I have a couple questions:
- First, is it an allowed operation to have a stateful session
bean spawn off threads? Am I violating the specs?
- Second, is it also allowed to have that thread create another
bmp entity bean and another stateful session bean? Again, am I
violating the specs also in here?
Your responses will be very much appreciated.

From the EJB 2.0 Spec, Section 24.1.2:
<quote>
These networking functions are reserved for the EJB Container.
Allowing the enterprise bean to use these functions could compromise
security and decrease the Container’s ability to properly manage the
runtime environment.
• The enterprise bean must not attempt to manage threads. The
enterprise bean must not attempt to start, stop, suspend, or resume
a thread; or to change a thread’s priority or name. The enter-prise
bean must not attempt to manage thread groups.
<quote>
And, spawning threads in weblogic is highly discouraged in any
server-side component. An application should not be designed this
way.

Call existing stateful session bean in different servlets

hello,
we are implementing a shopping cart for our online dvd store in netbeans 5.5.1 and ejb 3.0.
for that we use a stateful session bean, which is created when a user is logging in for connecting the user-entity to the bean.
after logging in, the list servlet, which displays a list of all available dvds, is shown. after clicking the "add to shopping cart" button, the cart servlet with a list of all added dvds is shown. in this servlet we want to reactivate the existing stateful session bean. is this possible? and when it's possible, how is it possible? ;)
our sessionbean with initialize() method:
@Stateful
public class CartBean implements Cart {
    UserEntity user;
    List<DVDEntity> contents;
    public void initialize(UserEntity user){
        System.out.println("Warenkorb erstellt");
        this.user = user;
        contents = new ArrayList<DVDEntity>();
}thx!

Stateful session bean returns null

Hi,
I call a stateful session bean which should return a Long object. Everything works fine while the bean executes and the Long object is returned by the bean.
But in the EJB-Client I get a null object.
The EJB-Client is a OC4J 10g standalone server and the EJB-Server is a OC4J 9.03 server, both running on the same machine.
Here are the JNDI properties:

This is a Work as designed in my opinion
with NRU ,the container work with an eager remove algorithm, this as stated need pressure at the cache to push the container to remove the beans from the cache ,hence there will no passivation unless the max-beans-in-cache is reached, hence you can try reducing the max-beans-in-cache and see how the caching behaves , if It does not help ,chnage the Algorithm of caching or open a Service Request for us , we can look at this closely

When will Stateful Session Bean be removed?

I develop a stateful session bean and deploy it in the oc4j server successfully.
I write a java GUI Frame.
This Frame call this stateful Session bean and get some data,
and hold its remote interface reference as Frame's private member.
Code like that:
public class CargoFrame extends JFrame
//private member
private DataPager dataPager;
I found that before i release CargoFrame, Stateful session bean will be removed.
And System report session time out.
And i want to know when stateful session bean will be removed,
and how to set the session time?

Default is 30mts.
This is done as a parameter in orion-ejb-jar.xml. Please look at the EJB Guide at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/903doc_otn/generic.903/a97677/dtdxml.htm#634197 for details

How to get the Stateful Session bean instance in the second call

Hi,
I am new to EJBs. I have made a Stateful session bean on the first jsp page. In this page i am setting certain member variables of the EJB. Now in the second page i want to get these stored values in the EJB.
In the second page do I...
1. Store the instance of Remote Interface in the Session Context of the first JSP page and then in the second page get the Remote interface stored in its session context and call the business functions to get the values. If this is the case then what do u mean by Stateful Session beans??
P.S.- This works fine.
2. Try to get the Remote interface of that particular instance of the EJB(in which the values were stored) and call its business functions. IF this is possible. How do i do it??
thanks in advance
Anurag

Hi,
thanks for information. But i have one question. In a stateful session bean why do we have to store the Remote Interface on the client side.
I expected in the second jsp page when i do a lookup or create, the container/server should find out whether there is a session bean already created for this session if yes, then return that particular instance of the session bean else create a new one.
If this is not a possible case then a stateful session bean is nuthing but an instance of an object in the EJB container which does not get destroyed unless there is a time out or the remove method is called. It has nuthing to do with session because throughout the session I have to store the remote interface in the session context of the client( the client here means the jsp).
thanks in advance

Reentrant call to a stateful session bean

Hi,
I have a problem that seems to be a very common problem but I
steel didn't find any solution for it.
We have a jsp page that call to stateful session been, the
problem occur when I click twice on any link/button then I get
java.rmi.RemoteException: Illegal attempt to make a reentrant call to a stateful
session bean from home:....
I have tried to set the <allow-concurrent-calls> to true but it doesn't help,
I am getting this exception no matter the value of this tag.
I am using WL61 sp2 (the last version) , Does anybody find a solution for that,
I don't want to use javascript in order to work around this problem.
Thanks,

I think this is a different error from concurrent access (when client's
attempt to access the same bean concurrently WebLogic throws LockTimedOut error
(or client blocks if allow-concurrent-calls is true)).
This error probably means that your code attempetd to reenter bean in the same
transaction - how do you invoke it and what is the stack trace?

Howto call the @Remove method of a stateful session bean after JSF page ...

I use EJB3, JPA, JSF in my web application. There are 2 database tables: Teacher and Student. A teacher can have many (or none) students and a student can have at most 1 teacher.
I have a JSF page to print the teacher info and all his students' info. I don't want to load the students' info eagerly because there's another JSF page I need to display the teacher info only. So I have a stateful session bean to retrieve the teacher info and all his students' info. The persistence context in that stateful session bean has the type of PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED. The reason I choose a stateful session bean and an extended persistence context is that I want to write something like this without facing the lazy initialization exception:
<h:dataTable value="#{backingBean.teacher.students}" var="student">
<h:outputText value="${student.name}"/>
</h:dataTable>Because my session bean is stateful, I have a method with the @Remove annotation. This method is empty because I don't want to persist anything to the database.
Now, my question is: How can I make the @Remove method of my stateful session bean be called automatically when my JSF page finishes being rendered?

EJB 2.0 STATEFUL SESSION BEANS -- ejbPassivate or ejbActivate is not called

Hi,
am using Oracle Jdevloper 9i. When i use Stateful Session beans the ejbPassivate or ejbActivated methods are not being called. What is the reason?

Hi Arun,
The decision of when to passivate a stateful session bean is up to a particular vendor's implementation. Typically each vendor will have some configuration that controls this decision, but it's certainly common for passivation to not take place for a given workload. Your best bet is to look at the Oracle documentation to see how the container makes its passivation decision.

Cannot remove stateful session bean when transaction timed out

The transaction timeout is set to 5 minutes. After several operations on the transactional
stateful session bean(implements SessionSynchronization), the transaction timed out
after 5 minutes and I got the IllegalStateException when calling another business
method. After the transaction rolled back, weblogic.ejb20.locks.LockTimedOutException
was thrown when attempting to remove the bean. It seems the lock on the bean was
not released even though the transaction had been rolled back. Does anyone know how
to remove the bean in this kind of situation?

If a stateful session throws a RuntimeException (your rollback) the container destroys the instance of the bean and all
associated state information is lost, as required by the EJB specification.
If you want to maintain client state it is generally best to use HttpSession objects (if you have a web application)
for short-lived, client-specific data and JPA entities or other database backed storage for long-lived data.

Accessing the same stateful session bean from multiple clients in a clustered environment

I am trying to access the same stateful session bean from multiple
          clients. I also want this bean to have failover support so we want to
          deploy it in a cluster. The following description is how we have tried
          to solve this problem, but it does not seem to be working. Any
          insight would be greatly appreciated!
          I have set up a cluster of three servers. I deployed a stateful
          session bean with in memory replication across the cluster. A client
          obtains a reference to an instance of one of these beans to handle a
          request. Subsequent requests will have to use the same bean and could
          come from various clients. So after using the bean the first client
          stores the handle to the bean (actually the replica aware stub) to be
          used by other clients to be able to obtain the bean. When another
          client retrieves the handle gets the replica aware stub and makes a
          call to the bean the request seems to unpredictably go to any of the
          three servers rather than the primary server hosting that bean. If the
          call goes to the primary server everything seems to work fine the
          session data is available and it gets backed up on the secondary
          server. If it happens to go to the secondary server a bean that has
          the correct session data services the request but gives the error
          <Failed to update the secondary copy of a stateful session bean from
          home:ejb20-statefulSession-TraderHome>. Then any subsequent requests
          to the primary server will not reflect changes made on the secondary
          and vice versa. If the request happens to go to the third server that
          is not hosting an instance of that bean then the client receives an
          error that the bean was not available. From my understanding I thought
          the replica aware stub would know which server is the primary host for
          that bean and send the request there.
          Thanks in advance,
          Justin


          If 'allow-concurrent-call' does exactly what you need, then you don't have a problem,
          do you?
          Except of course if you switch ejb containers. Oh well.

The above error caused the server to use all available memory and required a reboot to proceed.
Subsequent testing against the Sun Appliucation Server 7 on Windows 2000 dev environment using the Sun Studio IDE for debugging and trace statements inserted in the code indicate that the Application Server is removing the Stateful Session Beans when they time out without an ejbPassivate event and without serializing the beans to the data-store. cache-idle-timeout-in-seconds set to 180 and removal-timeout-in-seconds set to 1800.
The server.log indicates that the beans are timing out:
[19/Aug/2004:18:15:10] WARNING ( 1664): [NRU-com.telstra.nodeman.ejb.AddressMaintBean]: IdleBeanCleanerTask finished after removing 2 idle beans
Trace statements inserted in ejbPassivate do not appear in the log.
It is my understanding that the above timeout should have caused an ejbPasssivate and serialization of the beans.
The beans have been validated using Sun Java Studio Enterprise 6 with 'EJB validate'.
My reading of the problem is that the beans are not being serialized and the error occurs when the application attempts to reference (getHandle) the bean after timeout.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Thorick.
I am using NRU caching. WL 7.0 SP2.
I have not defined idle-timeout-seconds in my weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. As I understand
the default value for this is 600secs. So the ejbs should be removed after this
time. Below is the
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml that I am using.

The idle-timeout-seconds property controls the timeout/removal behavior.
which stateful session cache type are you using ? LRUCache or NRUCache
