Stateful Session Bean failover problem

          Hi,
          We have a WLS7.0 cluster with two managed servers. The problem we have in this
          environment is that when server one goes down and gets up and after that server
          two goes down our application gets an error "Unable to connect to Session Bean".
          HTTP session works OK, but Staful Session Bean is lost when these failovers happens.

Plz help!! idempotent methods stateful session beans? (failover)

          plz help!! idempotent methods stateful session beans? (failover)
          Hi there,
          Im trying to failover my shopping cart implemented using stateful ejb, the replication
          is working but the failover is not (Object not found exception....).
          By design is hard to think on an stateful ejb using idempotent methods, but after
          checking the documentation in detail im completely confused, so im starting to
          wonder if i should use idempotent methods or manual retry in case one server is
          down.
          Plz take a loo at these explanations about faiolver in the WLS edocs.
          "....With clustered objects, automatic failover generally occurs only in cases
          where the object is idempotent.....Because of this, replica-aware stubs will not,
          by default, attempt to retry a method that fails after the request is sent but
          before it returns. This behavior can be overridden by marking a service idempotent..."
          BUT
          "By default, a stateful session bean's Home stub provides load balancing and failover
          for its method invocations to any clustered server where the bean is deployed...."
          So is possible to achieve automatic failover (not only load balancing) for stateful
          ejb without having to worry about state-changes or manual retry. (i know the retry
          is requiered if the server crashed just before finishing a transaction but this
          is not what im talking about).
          Any help will be highly appreciated
          Alan


          Ryan,
          Yes, im deploying using In-memory replication and clusterable elements, when try
          to invoke the method (after one of the nodes is down) i recieve an "java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException:
          Bean has been deleted".
          I believe all this could be related to some sort of issue with JNDI Lookup in
          the cluster, but haavent been able to get a clue to make it work....(almost desesperate
          by now)

Problem using application client for local stateful session bean

Hi,
I have deployed a local stateful session bean in Sun J2EE 1.4 application server.
On running the applclient for the stateful session bean application client i get the following error:
Warning: ACC006: No application client descriptor defined for: [null]
cant we use application client for local stateful session beans. becoz the application runs smoothly when i changed the stateful sesion bean to remote.

Hi,
No, an ejb that exposes a local view can only be accessed by an ejb or web component packaged within the same application. Parameters and return values for invocations through the ejb local view are passed by reference instead of by value. That can't work for an application client since it's running in a separate JVM.

Local Stateful Session Bean State Failover Cluster

          Hi,
          How are you doing? I have poured through the previous postings and still am unclear
          on the following: If we have a stateful session bean that is local is the state
          replicated in a cluster if we are using in-memory replication?
          What controls when the state is replicated? Transactions?
          What happens if the methods are not transacted? Is the state replication at the
          method level?
          Thank you so much,
          -Bart Simpson


Hi Bart,
          I'm a bit unclear on it too. It's been asked before, but no definite answer
          has been provided.

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.

Error in updating secondary stateful session bean

          Hi all,
          I have set up a cluster of 2 managed servers with WebLogic 6.1. I have a
          stateful session bean and several stateless session beans. the stateful
          session bean keeps user info and limited cached objects, all are
          serializable. it seems working fine, even after killing any one of the
          servers, as long as one is alive. a java application client creates a
          stateful session bean first, then calls stateless session beans with the
          remote interface of the stateful bean as a method parameter. No problem
          when stateful session bean is created. However, each stateless bean method
          generates the following error message if I turn the debug on (level 64). No
          exception stack traces, and all methods execute successfully.
          <Error> <EJB> <Failed to update the secondary copy of a stateful session
          bean from home:clientsession>
          I wonder what causes the error, and why it tries to update the stateful
          session bean. in all stateless session beans, only read into the stateful
          bean.
          Thank you,
          Fujin


This has been fixed in WLS 6.1 SP2.

SAME EJB 3.0 Stateful Session bean for different JSP sessions returned

Forum,
I have a strange problem utilizing stateful session beans. Please note, that I am using jdeveloper for the following:
1) Here is a basic stateful session bean:
@Stateful(name = "DemoClass")
public class DemoClassBean implements DemoClass,
           DemoClassLocal, SessionSynchronization {
      public static int id=0;
      public DemoClassBean() {
      id++;
      public int getId() {
         return id;
      //... other methods
}2) This bean is accessed from a JSP for testing purpose, I am copying only the script used in JSP:
<%
   DemoClass bean = null;
   try {
      bean = (DemoClass) ((new javax.naming.InitialContext()).
                   lookup("DemoClass "));
      System.out.println("ID=" + bean.getId() );
      } catch (javax.naming.NamingException e) {
         // TODO
%>If this page is addressed by different clients, from different browsers, the same bean is returned.
Here is what I see in the logs:
ID=1
ID=1
ID=1
The same problem is being observed when this session bean is accessed from a JSF Backing bean.
What could be wrong? Is this a bug in oc4j / jdeveloper (version 10.1.3.3.0)?

The code for stateful is perfectly fine and working in a normal way. The way you are trying to implement the stateful session bean in your application is wrong.
think of binding the stateful session bean with HttpSession object.
So that you will get a unique stateful session bean object.

Context.lookup in a Servlet always returns the same Stateful Session Bean

Hi,
I am working on an application in which a Servlet should obtain one StateFul Session Bean per client. I read in EJB 3.0 in Action that to do so I should use a jndi lookup and save the result of the lookup in an HttpSession. This works fine for me when I have a single client.
My issue is that when I have several clients, context.lookup returns the same SFSB for each client. This means that I end up having a single SFSB for the whole application. I've been browsing the web for a while now trying to find a solution but haven't had any luck yet.
The code I use to obtain and save the SFSB is the following:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
DFMServiceRemote service = (DFMServiceRemote) session.getAttribute("DFMService");
if (null == service)
service = (DFMServiceRemote) new InitialContext().lookup("DFMService");
session.setAttribute("DFMService", service);
}Using different browser, I end up with different HttpSession but a single SFSB. The only workaround I found is to create the context with environment variables or properties. It then returns different SFSBs for different HttpSession. The workaround code is as below:
Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "oc4jadmin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://localhost:23791/DriverFatigue");
service = (DFMServiceRemote) new InitialContext(env).lookup("DFMService");My question is the following. How can I get a different instance of an SFSB every time I execute context.lookup without specifying properties.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Matthieu Siggen

I just did something similar in another project using JBoss instead of oc4j and didn't have any problem. I expect I missed a configuration file in oc4j or there is a conflict somewhere.

Deploy Error when using Stateful Session Bean inside Webdynpro

Hi,
I'm trying to create a webdynpro project that uses a stateful session bean
I have created DC's for a EJB Module project, Enterprise Application and Webdynpro component. Created the bean, built it, added it's package to the public part, added the EJB Module to the EAR project. Built the EAR project. Added the EJB Module project and Enterprise Application project as a used DC in the Webdynpro DC.
In the Webdynpro DC I added com.sap.archive-packaging.default.update-descriptors=true in the build.properties file of the cfg directory. (using the navigator view) That resolved an error while building it.
Deployed the Enterprise Application DC without problems.
Tried to deploy the Webdynpro DC but I get the following error:

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

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.

How to track the stateful Session Bean?

Hi all,
Am in a serious trouble. I have a message driven bean which will get initiated when some message gets dumped into the queue. I have got session bean which i use to process message which my message driven bean takes from the queue.
My problem is, lets say there are 3 msgs in the queue. lets say the messages be "aaaa", "aaaa" and "bbbb".
In this case, when i read the first message, i will create an instance of the session bean to process the message "aaaa". When i receive the second message still i create an instance to process the message "aaaa". When i get the 3rd message, i create an instance to process the message "bbbb".
My problem in this is, i want to create only one instance of session bean for the message "aaaa".
So once i create the instance for session bean for particular message, i need to store the object or something of the instance which i created along with the message. Please help me with what i can store with which i can reffer to the session bean again.
Please see the sample code too.
Thanks in advance,
Ashly
if(msg.equals("aaaa"))
First n;
Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/First");
FirstHome home = (FirstHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, FirstHome.class);
n = home.create(msg);
}

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?

Losing UserTransaction state in Stateful session bean

I have a UserTransaction I wish to begin and commit in different methods of a Stateful session bean. I have 2 methods to test this on the session bean:
public void beginTransaction()
trans = context.getUserTransaction() ;
trans.begin() ;
public void commitTransaction()
trans = context.getUserTransaction() ;
trans.commit() ;
If I call these methods from one Perform method in a Struts action all works fine. If I call the methods in different Struts actions (storing the session bean handle on the HTTPSession in the first for retrieval in the second) the second call fails with the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No active Transaction
The state of the transaction on the second call is STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION. I am certain that I have lost no state on the session bean and that using handles gives me the correct bean since I have written some state to test this. Basically something seems to close the transaction between the end of the first Perform method and the beginning of the second (I am of course assuming this is a valid thing to do).
My session bean descriptor has <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>, and I am using OC4J.
If anyone can point out what it is I am doing wrong I would be grateful!
James.

Sorry, I have re-checked my code and I believe I found the problem.
I was beginning my transaction inside ejbCreate() and trying to commit/rollback in another method. This works in JBoss 3.2 but does not work in either OC4J or WebLogic 7.
If I begin my transaction in a business method and commit/rollback in another method, everything works fine. (It also seems to work fine in 9.0.3 this way).
So I am not sure whether this is a bug in 9iAS/WLS, or a bug in JBoss, or something that is left "vague" in the J2EE spec. Unfortunately, examples on bean-managed transactions are thin on the ground generally (the usual advice being not to use them, which I definitely agree with!).
If you believe that the behaviour I describe is a bug in 9iAS, I can send a simple EJB test case.

Handling Transaction in Stateful Session Bean

I wrote a public method like public void doTransaction()
it will call 2 private method, like: methodA and methodB
Both private methods have db accesss statement and will update the db. They got different db connection and will close the connection when method call finished.
How to include them to one transaction? I want to be able to rollback the job of the first method when I catch exception thrown by the second method.
I tried simply define transaction type of the public method to be Container and Required. But it doesn't work, the first method doesn't rollback. Of course I can let the 2 private methods share a same connection and commit after finishing calling them. But how if they are in different DB?

Ok... Here it goes...
You can do it in the following manner.
As you said you have got 2 private methods doing d/b updates and these are called from a public method.
Stateful session beans since associated with a client across methods, you can take advantage of it. Write your own user defined transaction.
Begin the transaction scope in your public before calling the 1st private method. Call the 2 methods in a try block. Once you are done with these methods, you can commit and end the transaction. If you get any exception, rollback the transaction in the catch block. Otherwise if u get any exception in the 2nd method, you can rollback the transaction there itself.
Stateful session beans lets u allow to spawn the bean managed transaction across methods. you can begin your transaction in one method and end it in a differnt method or you can end the transaction after calling the methods.
The problem you are dealing with can typically very well handled by writing bean managed transaction.
Hope this helps. If you need anymore clarity on my solution, please let me know.

Stateful Session Bean accesed by two JSPs.

Hi there,
We are having quite an issue; we have an application that stores session
state in an stateful session bean. And we have noticed some parts of the
application create a situation where is possible that two frames -and so two
jsp- access the session bean at the same time. And, of course, it´s going to
be the same instance of the session bean..... what will be the behaviour in
this case?. Will the requests be serialized, an exception will be thrown or
the EJB will be destroyed?. Not very sure of what would happen. I suppose
there could be some problems with this-. I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks. Best regards.

Hrm. EJB spec is quite clear on what will happen (RemoteException thrown) if
the second client attempts to use Stateful Session bean which is already in
use (and the bean will not be destroyed - container will simply throw an
exception after failing to acquire a lock on the bean instance without waiting
(allow-concurrent-calls option in WebLogic allows client call to wait to acquire
lock - this was probably added as a convinience feature for applications which
use frames)).
So, normally your application has to ensure that no 2 clients are able to use
the same stateful session bean concurrently, or use allow-concurrent-calls option,
which will do that for you, but the application will become non portable.

Hi Dimitri,
Thnaks a lot for the help:one thing that I do not know if it´s an issue is
that calls come from different JSPs; the strategy I have seen in another Web
application servers is trying to activate the EJB in the middle of another
transaction... In this situation, the container cannot activate the EJB,
roolback the transaction and destroys the EJB.... Would Weblogic feature
avoid this?. I will investigate on my part....
Many many thnaks. Nice cats.

In 6.1 you can set allow-concurrent-calls to true in this situation:

Hi there,
We are having quite an issue; we have an application that stores
session
state in an stateful session bean. And we have noticed some parts of the
application create a situation where is possible that two frames -and sotwo
jsp- access the session bean at the same time. And, of course, it´sgoing to
be the same instance of the session bean..... what will be the behaviourin
this case?. Will the requests be serialized, an exception will be thrownor
the EJB will be destroyed?. Not very sure of what would happen. Isuppose
there could be some problems with this-. I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks. Best regards.--
