Stateful session ejb life
Hello,
If I have a stateful session ejb used in a web application, what determines how long that ejb will stay alive or remain available? Specifically, if a user has a session and that user accesses the ejb, then there is a period of inactivity, yet the session remains open, does the ejb hang around? What controls this? I'm using WebSphere 6 as my application server.
Thanks,
-jeff
There are 4 situations to consider....
1) If client calls remove(), then stateful session bean is killed.
2) If the resources are going low on the computer then the container can decide to passivate the bean.
3) If there is a time out for the stateful session bean then
3.1) If bean is in in ready state then the container can take a decision to kill the bean ...
3.2) If the bean is in passivated state then also the container can kill the bean but this time with out calling ejbRemove().
4) If the bean throws a system unchehecked exception then also it kills the bean.

Web Service-Client for stateful session EJB container
Do you know, how to write a Web Service-Client to connect a stateful session EJB container?
A stateful session EJB container ist created with Web Logic 8.1.
Message was edited by n.t.c at Dec 14, 2004 6:09 AMPedja thanks for reply.
I still dont understand what is wrong with my example.
The first peace of the code i wrote (getting the reference to the remote interface object) works pretty well, and even more it is produced automatically by JDeveloper, so why we cant get a reference to the local interface object the same way?
Certanly we should use the local interface for getting access to the resource functioning under the same local jvm and i think it doesnt metter wich app server we really use wls or oas or others

Failover for a stateful session EJB on a two node cluster results in java.io.StreamCorrupedException
Stateful session EJB is deployed on cluster members A and B. Client calls a method
on the bean and the request is routed to server A, then A is shut down. The client's
next method invocation is routed to server B where the bean's state has been replicated.
Server A re-joins the cluster and B is shut down, the request routed to A results
in the following:

Rajesh,
Thanks for the reply. We are running WL 6.0 SP2 with RP3. We cannot reproduce it
consistently. In your reply you mention "... and EJB handles". Does that refer to
another patch?
As for the code, we will run tests with a scaled down version of the stateful bean
and a simple client servlet. I will post the code asap. The high level call sequence
is: servlet service() -> lookup ejb home -> get cluster aware stub from home -> put
bean handle in http session -> call bean method -> server A goes down -> next call
to the bean -> get handle from replicated http session -> get bean from handle ->
request is routed to server B. java.io.StreamCorruptedException is thrown, sometimes,
when server A re-joins the cluster and a request is routed to it (i.e. server B is
shut-down). One thing I did not mention is that the bean is deployed on server A,
and server A is also the Admin server. We are considering not using the Admin server
to deploy the bean, however, but will add another Managed server.
Will contact support about CR073917: can it be applied to WL 6.0 SP3 with RP3?

Alex J. Rodriguez

OC4J, Stateful Session EJB, & Session Timeout
In my J2EE applications, I have a user authentication layer whereby when the user is authenticated against our LDAP repository after logging in, a Stateful Session EJB keeps that conversational state with the client at all times until the user logs out whereby the session is invalidated. This way I keep track of the user's authentication at all times throughout the whole session and for every operation performed (JSPs etc) by the user during the session. All this works fine through my implementation of the Session Facade and Business Delegate patterns.
However, if OC4J times out the Session (set to one hour in the <session-config> <session-timeout> parameter of the web.xml), the user cannot re-login and proceed. The user has to close the whole browser and re-start a new browser, then login and proceed.
This is causing us a few problems with the users who are complaining about having to do so. Is there an easy way around this problem?
Regards
DanielCan you try in a different browser and see whether you can duplicate this ?
Is this a problem with browser - cache ?

How a stateful session ejb invoke an entity ejb
i have write a stateful session ejb and an entity ejb
i want to invoke the method of the entity ejb in the session ejb.
Do they should in the save package,and archive to a jar package?
Thanks:)the choice is yours
It not necessary that they shoule be in the same package
Work both ways
You make a call to it in the same way as you call it from a client
i.e. to say that an EJB can invoke another in the same way as a client invoke it...make the home object et.al

Session ejb 3.0 stateful and same instance
Hello,
I'm using OC4J 10.1.3.3 and EJB 3.0/JSP
In a jsp I do two different lookup for a STATEFUL
session ejb 3.0, and I want two different instances
of the ejb, instead I get the same one...
Please help. Thanks.Hi,
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. -
Stateful session local ejb problem
Hi,
I'm having problems with a stateful session ejb, which i am accessing using the local interface from a servlet. I get the local object and insert it in the session and retrieve it from the session in the following requests to this servlet.
My questions are:
Should local interfaces be used from servlets?, in the servlet descriptor you can use the <ejb-local-ref> to do this and it works.
And if they can be used from servlets, what do i save in the session to preserve the ejb between requests?.
Thanks

Cluster and Session EJB replication
I have a dedicated Weblogic 5.1 box running with SP 6 serving up JSP and Servlets.
The Servlets do look ups for session EJBs, which are hosted on a separate box behind
a firewall. My question is:
If I implement clustering of the JSP/Servlet Weblogic Instance so that I have four machines in a cluster,
does Weblogic 5.1 or 6.0 replicate the handle to the session EJB's stub only so that in case server 1 crashes,
Server 2 will be able to retrieve a handle to the session EJBs?
Thanks,
Paul Richardson
If the handle is in the HttpSession, then the handle will be replicated. If
the EJB server fails over in WL 5.1, the stateful session EJBs will be lost.
WL 6.0 supports statefull session EJB replication for failover, but I
suggest that you not use it unless you have a specific architectural reason
to.

ive read several topics that say that this should work but it doesnt??
The bean is a Stateful Session EJB.
Ive tried to recompile both client and server serveral times, to prevent te stubs from beeing different. But no result.
Help please !!!!!!try like this..
Create--
session.setAttribute("searchremote",tsremote.getHandle());
and get it like this....
Handle handle = (Handle)session.getAttribute("searchremote");
tsremote = (TradesSearchRemote)handle.getEJBObject();
if (tsremote == null)
tsremote = getBeanReference();
session.setAttribute("searchremote",tsremote.getHandle());
I am doing like this and it is working fine.... -
Session EJB as a Topic subscriber
Hi ,
is it possible to create a topic subscriber inside a session ejb( both stateless and stateful ) with an asynchronous message listener ?
Regards,
SajithA<WSI-17> WLS6.1 does not support Stateful Session beans as web services. Maintaining
client state is a complex problem for web services that does not have a proper solution
in the J2EE framework (stateful session and HTTP sessions are inappropriate). WLS

(ejb 3.0) stateful session facade?
Hello,
(1) Would you consider stateful session facade (whose client is a servlet) a bad design?
(2) How to have a stateful session facade referenced in a servlet? I am using Sun Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 and trying to make an injection:
@EJB(name="ejb/KOGSessionFacade")
protected KOGSessionFacade sessionFacade;
but then I get this error in deploy-time: "A stateful session bean can not be injected into a servlet. Please refer to EJB 3.0 Persistence API Specification section #5.2 for further information."
Thanks.Using a Stateful Session facade from a Servlet is not necessarily a bad design. In some cases, you may want to do some cleanup work on completion of a transaction. Stateful Session beans provide a convenient way (By implementing SessionSynchronization interface) to do this.
In the servlet programming model, Servlets are not designed to be single threaded. So if you inject a StatefulSessionBean (SFSB) references then multiple threads could be possibly be invoking the SFSB concurrently. In this case, the EJBContainer (as required by the specification), will throw a well defined exception.
What you may want to do is to place this SFSB reference into you Servlet session. -
How create EJB 2.1 Stateful Session Bean in a EJB 3.0 Session Bean
Hi All,
We have been developing on EJB 2.1. We are now adding a module on EJB 3.0.
How can we "create" a stateful session bean with create method signature similar to create(String id)?
We have tried
// this is the remote interface
@EJB AddressBean abean;
But not working
Any help will be appreciated.There is no explicit create() call for EJB 3.0 session beans. It doesn't really matter though
since you can accomplish the same thing by defining your own business method to act
as an initializer for whatever state you'd like. E.g.
@Remote
public interface FooInterface {
public void initialize(String id);
// ... other business methods
@EJB FooInterface fooRef;
fooRef.initialize("foo");

Creating multiple stateful session beans from a java client. (EJB 3.0)
I'm having difficulties with the following:
To access the ShoppingCartBean, I have to put the following annotation in my standalone java client:
@EJB
private static ShoppingCartRemote shoppingCartBean;
The static must be there, thus only one ShoppingCartBean will exist within my java client. But as the ShoppingCartBean is a stateful session bean, I want to be able to get different beans of the same type.
What is the correct way to do this in EJB 3.0?Great question. Because Home interfaces have been removed for the EJB 3.0 simplified
API, stateful session bean creation happens as a side-effect of injection. However, the
same is true of EJB 3.0 business interface lookups. The easiest way to create additional
stateful session beans is to lookup the same dependency that was declared via your
@EJB annotation.
E.g.,
// Assuming the declaring class is pkg1.ShoppingCartClient.java
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
ShoppingCartRemote scr1 = (ShoppingCartRemote)
ic.lookup("java:comp/env/pkg1.ShoppingCartClient/shoppingCartBean");
Note that the name relative to java:comp/env is the default associated with your
@EJB annotation since the name() attribute wasn't used. Alternatively, you
could have used :
@EJB(name="scb") private static ShoppingCartRemote shoppingCartBean;
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
ShoppingCartRemote scr1 = (ShoppingCartRemote) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/scb");
Yet another alternative is to declare the @EJB at the class-level. This just defines
the dependency without any injection, which is fine if you want to create a bunch of
them via lookup anyway.
@EJB(name="scb", beanInterface=ShoppingCartRemote.class)
public class .... { -
Stateful Session Bean Initialization (EJB 3.0)
Hi all!
In EJB 2.1 the initialization was with create (args) methods. NOw, how is it exploited? Create methods are no more there and there must be a way to send parameters to the stateful session bean when it is newly created...isn't it?
Thank you!There is no pre-defined equivalent of a create method in EJB 3.0. If you want to initialize a
stateful session bean, just define a business method that the client should use as an initialization
method. -
How to intantiate Stateful session bean in EJB 3 ?
In EJB 2.x, to instantiate a Stateful Session bean the process was:
1. Lookup Home object
2. call create(args) method on Home, that in turn would call corresponding ejbCreate(args) on the bean implementation.
Now, in EJB 3, there is no concept of Home interaface, How can I instantiate a stateful session bean with some initialization parameters.
ThanksJust the spec. NetBeans should only be providing the ability to add an ejbCreate method if the bean exposes a Local or Remote 2.x view.
Each lookup or injection of a stateful session bean results in a new bean instance. As long as you call your methods to populate the additional
state right after first acquiring the stateful session bean reference it will work.
