Transactional business method is called 4 times on failure

Hi I'm experiencing a strange situation. does anybody have an idea what is wrong or just going on?.
There is a stateful session bean which has a transactional business method called 'apply' to delegate insert/update requests to Toplink which will persist data in database. 'trans-attribute' is defined 'Required'. Toplink registers with the OC4J's external transaction.
when there is an error in commiting the data apply method is called 3 more times (4 times in total).
any idea????
thanks

Hi Erdem,
This question has been discussed previously on this forum.
[However, when I searched the forum archives to make sure, I couldn't find it -- but I _know_ I had a similar problem _and_ found the answer while monitoring this forum!]
In any case, I think the behaviour that you are seeing is caused by the "max-tx-retries" attribute in the "orion-ejb-jar.xml" file. Here is a resource with some more details:
http://kb.atlassian.com/content/orion/docs/deployment/orion-ejb-jar.xml.html
You may also find relevant information at one (or more) of the following Web sites (if you haven't already looked at them):

Hope this helps.
Good Luck,

Got javax.transaction.HeuristicMixedException when calling EJB business methods

          I have developed two EJBs. One is a stateless session bean,
          called InventorySessionBean(JNDI name: Inventory); the other one
          is a CMP Entity Bean called InventoryBean(JNDI name:
          InventoryBean). The InventoryBean represents the business object
          of Inventory. InventoryBean is declared CMT and all methods in
          the beans have attribute "Required". The InventorySessionBean is a session facade
          which encapsulate the business methods of
          InventoryBean. InventorySessionBean is declared CMT and all
          methods in the bean have attribute"RequiresNew" The backend
          database is Ingres.
          I have setup JDBC connection pool, Datasource and Tx Datasource.
          There is a client program which invokes InventorySessionBean to get business data
          from database.
          Actually the InventorySessionBean invokes InventoryBean entity bean to get data
          from database.
          After I starting up the weblogic server, I ran the client program to get data,
          everything works fine.
          After a period of time (about 50 minutes ) from starting the WLS server, I reran
          the client program.
          I got following exceptions:

Hi
I was using the session bean.Your suggestion helped me a lot.Perfect.
I debug my program and found that from ejbCreate()exception is getting.
I was getting the datasource object thro ejb create() initialisation.
Somehow the look up jndi which i mentioned was not interpretting from ejb-jar.xml ias-ejb-jar.xml and datasource ref .Due to this iam getting jndi Namenotfound exception which in turns to null pointer as datasource is getting null.
when i hardcoded in the ejb the the jndi name for datasource it is working fine.Bit worried all the existing ejbs working with the xml referenced datasource and jndi,but when i added a new ejb with same properties it is failing to get the jndi name.
Piece of code from ias-ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
          <res-ref-name>myDataSource</res-ref-name>
          <jndi-name>jdbc/nb/myData</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
Piece of code from ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
          <res-ref-name>myDataSource</res-ref-name>
          <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
          <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Thanks a lot meka

How to handle the call transaction in method of a custom business object

Hello all,
There is a custom report " RPTCORAPP" for approving leaves . As per my requirement i have develop a copy of leave workflow and for approval process i have call "RPTCORAPP" in Custom method of custom object. i have made a transaction for this custom report for approving attendances. I am calling this method though call transaction statement within method.
Problem: while approving the attendance workitem is not disappearing from the portal. Problem is due to call transaction statement.
               once workitem come to the user, user click on it. control goes to the report, which display all the leave to approve on
               the portal.
               If after approving/ rejecting attendance user close the screen.workflow remain in the "process" status.Control wont come back after call transaction statement in the method.
             At the same time if user clicks on back button inspite of closing the screen. it is working fine. workitem disappears from the portal.
How to handle the scenarion. if after approving/rejecting, i want the control to come back to the NEXT STATEMENT after call transactionstatement in my method.
Please help it out........:)

Hi swami,
thanks for reply. but i am not using BDC in my method. iam just calling a custom transaction thriugh statement
Call transaction 'ZHR_APPROVE_CLINOUT'. This transaction directly run the report RPTCORAPP and display all the request.

Calling session bean's business method through web dynpro component

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to call a session bean's methods through a web dynpro WITHOUT java-model or web service model ??
I have following scenario:-
1. Stateless Session bean having two business methods
2. Web Dynpro component
3.Now i want to call business methods without using any model. I have got following piece of code but I dont know how to go about it.
4.Where do i have to set JNDI name for session bean? which interface will be looked for?
5. Do I have to declare public part for EJB DC? If yes, how?
//This is inside web dynpro component
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
o = context.lookup(JNDIName);
TestSessionbeanHome homeRef = (TestSessionbeanHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( o,
TestSessionbeanHome.class);
TestSessionbean beanRef = homeRef.create();
<returnValue> = beanRef.<ejb method name>
Please help to get a step-by-step approach to this case.
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

Hi,
If I comment out the part that is using session bean's business method, DC is building fine.
And if I uncomment, then compiler is unabl eto resolve business method(s).
And i would like to mention that my EJB + J2EE App DC is building properly, but it havent yet deployed properly as I am waiting for data-source-alias name prefix to be configured by ERP team. So will this be a reason why Web Dynpro DC is not able to resolve business methods ??
Because Web Dynpro DC is able to resolved all interfaces of Session bean and entity bean. But when it comes to business method, its not able to resolve.
Any more ideas why it is not happening?
Pls help.
Now i went through some forum posts regarding this and found that we also need to add EJB DC to Java Build Path for WebDynproDC>Properties>Java Build Path.
I did this and now it is able to resolve business methods and DTOs as well. So to summarize I did following:-
1. Added EJB DC (complete DC) as a Used DC to Web Dynpro DC with Buid-n-Deploy-n-Run time dependency
2. Added Sharing reference of J2EE application DC to Web Dynpro DC -->Properties
This reference I constructed as follows:-
<vendorname>/<name of j2ee application as appearing under display name tag in application.xml (replacing '/' with '~')>
So my Sharing Reference becomes:- <vendorname>/reqpstapscreqpstapja_reqid
3. Added EJB DC to Java Build Path in Web Dynpro DC's properties
4. Then I added following piece of code to get object of SessionBean class
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
Object o = context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/SessionRequestIDBean");
SessionRequestIDHome homeRef = (SessionRequestIDHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, SessionRequestIDHome.class);
SessionRequestID beanRef = homeRef.create();
beanRef.<business method>
But After doing this I am facing another problem :-
The build fails saying it is not able find the package for DTOs. But when I see the Component Controller's code it is not showing any red or yellow marks.
Can anybody pls help me out here?
Thanks and regards,

Unwanted behavior: Action method being called several times

Hello,
I have a managed bean that calls a session ejb which itself does a search. The problem is that it is supposed to retrieve a resultset ONCE and the displayed behavior is that it never stop doing so. It fetches the resultset N TIMES.
Here is the managed bean and the method to look at is the performSearch method:

Just reactivating my thread hoping someone will reply to it....

EjbActivate() and ejbPassivate() methods are called million times!!! :(

Hello All,
Am I missing some thing here?
We have a project with many Entity Beans, and all of them have relations with one another. The simple example I can give is Entity A has one to many relation with Entity B.
i.e There could be one Entity A and for this there could be many Entities B these two entities are managed by CMR fields.
Entity A has a PK, this would act as a FK in Entity B.
In the EJB Post create method of Entity B I am trying to find a suitable entity A and trying to execute setEntityA(suitableEntityA), while this method is getting executed here is the things that happen
the container tries to find all Entity B (if there are 10,000 records in B table then ejbActivate() of B is executed 10,000 times) then it sets the relation with Entity A, then at the end of the Transaction the container will call ejbPassivate() method on Entity B 10,000 times!!! oh god what is happening here...!!!?????
can some one tell me if I am missing some settings?
The same thing happends for all the other EJBs which have one to many CMR fields, i.e ejbActivate() and ejbPassivate() of each of these Entity Beans will be called for those many number of times for as many records found in the Datbase of the corresponding Entity.
I have the follwing setting in my orion-ejb-jar.xml file
<entity-deployment name="EntityA"
max-tx-retries="0"
max-instances="-1"
location="EntityA"
table="A"
data-source="jdbc/oracleDS"
exclusive-write-access="false"
locking-mode="optimistic"
update-changed-fields-only="true"
delay-updates-until-commit="true">
similar xml construct for Entity B also!!!
If some one knows more about this please let me know.
Thank you
-Mallik

Found one more thing for this CMP-CMR relationship and ejbActivate() and ejbPassivate() process of CMP Entity's.
In this above example if say
Entity A (Dept) ------ Entity B (Employee) (1:M) has one to many relationship
Employee holds a FK value which is PK in Dept (dept_id).
Suppose asssume that there are 10,000 employees working for a dept_id = 5.
(i.e there are 10,000 records in Employee that references Dept table with dept_id =5)
Now I want to add one more employee to this dept_id = 5, then I create an Employee entity and in the ejbPostCreate() method of Employee entity I lookup Dept Entity with Dept_PK=5, until this every thing is fine. Now I call setter method with in Employee Entity to set the dept such as setDept_dept_id(detpEntity5), at the execution of this method EJB container calls starts calling Employee Entity's the ejbActivate() method for 10,000 times this equals the number of references Employee table has to Dept table with Dept_ID=5, then at the end of the transaction the container calls ejbPassivate() method 10,000 times to passivate all those ejbs that it activated.
Did some one experience the same thing with CMP EJBs? please let me know what I have to do to avoid such things?
Thank you

Difference between Session method and call transaction

Hi,
please give me the differences between session method and call transaction,
briefly explaining synchronus , asynchronus, process, update.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay Kumar
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
Among the two methods call transaction is better compared to session bcoz data transfer is faster in it.
Differences between call transaction and session.
Session Method:
1) Data is not updated in the database table until the session is processed.
2) No sy-subrc is returned.
3) Error log is created for error records.
4) Updation is always synchronous.
Call Transaction Method:
1) Immediate updation in the database table.
2) sy-subrc is returned.
3)Error need to be handled explicitly.
4) updation can be synchronous as well as asynchronous.
2) ya u can use using the N mode no screen.
3)u can't handle multiple transaction in call transaction.
4) u can handle multiple transaction in session using the BDC_INSERT fm.
5)When u go to SM35 u can able to see the error records.
Which is best?
That depends on your requirement. Both of them have there advantages.
According to the situation u can choose any one of these.
difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
For session method,these are the function modules to b used.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
BDC_INSERT
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
For call transaction,this is the syntax.
CALL TRANSACTION TCODE USING BDCDATA
MODE A or E or N
UPDATE A or S
MESSAGES INTO MESSTAB.
Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)
In the BDC call transaction method
We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.
Eg: Loop at itab.
call transaction FB01
capture errors
endloop.
In the session method.
We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself
Check these link:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/question-about-bdc-program.htm
http://www.itcserver.com/blog/2006/06/30/batch-input-vs-call-transaction/
http://www.planetsap.com/bdc_main_page.htm
Batch Input Session method is asynchronous as told by others here. But the advantage of this is that you have all the error messages and the data for each transaction held persistantly. You don't have to code anything for processing them or writing the logs.
But at the same time, the same feature can be disadvantageous if you need to react to an error or if there are too many errors to manually correct in a session. Since the session are created in the program and its execution is done seperately, you loose the trackability of such transactions.
With a call transaction, what was a disadvantage above will become an advantage. Call transaction immediately gives you messages back and you can react to it in your program. But the disadvantage is that, if you have several hundreds of transactions to run, running them from within the program can be resource crunching affair. It will hamper the system performance and you cannot really distribute the load. Of course, you have some mechanisms with which you can overcome this, but you will have to code for it. Also, storing the messages and storing the errored transaction data etc will have to be handled by you in the program. Whereas, in batch input session, your program's job is to just create the session, after that everything is standard SAP system's responsibility.
Ideally, you should do a call transaction if the resources are not a problem and if it fails, put the errored transaction into a session.
You can decide based on the data volume that your BDC is processing. If data volume is high go for session else call transaction will do.The call transaction updates will be instantaneous where as session needs to be processed explictly after creation.
Session Method
1) Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ...
bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
1) Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E>
update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.

Marshall exception when calling a remote business method in EJB

Hi,
From a java client, i am calling a business method from a ejb. the home and remote interface object is sucessfully received at the client. but at the time of calling the remote business method the following error occurs.
java.rmi.RemoteException: ; nested exception is:
weblogic.rmi.ServerException: A remote exception occurred while executing the method on the
remote object
- with nested exception:
[weblogic.rmi.MarshalException: error marshalling return
- with nested exception:
[java.io.NotSerializableException: java.util.Vector$1]]
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.util.Vector$1
the business method returns an enumeration object.
How to solve this?
-chidam

hi chidambaresh,
you could have sent this to me directly.
the Enumeration si an interface and so the object we get during the runtime is basically an object of some implementation of this interface.
the Enumeration you get from HAshtable is actually Serializable.
but the Enumeration you actually get from Vector (this is actaully an inner class of Vector viz., Vector$1) is not serializable. that is what the error you are getting.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

Session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded

hi
PLease give me the answer to these questions.
session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded why .
2) if we want to maintain BDC program in all the systems.wt to d0

Hi Revethi,
Here is the difference between the Session and Call Transaction method.
Session
Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ... bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
Syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E> update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.

How do I keep track of how many times a method is called inside anthr clas?

I am writing code for a program that solves a Knight's Tour. A Knight's Tour is a path a Knight Chess piece can take around the board starting at any spot, touching every square once, and only once. I have to write 2 classes and one is provided. The provided class is encrypted and written by our professor. All I know that it does is simulates the game using the two classes I write and provides a print out and prompts to ask the user which square they want to move to next.
The square class I have to write consists of a constructor that makes a square object that keeps track of its color (white/black) and its status (whether it has been visited, is occupied by the knight, or is free and has not be visited).
The GameBoard class I have to write is what I am having problems with. I am writing a method that determines how many squares have been visited. The previous mentioned class that my professor wrote for me contains a method moveKnight();. The way the program works is that every time moveKnight() is called a square's status is changed to occupied and therefore visited later. moveKnight() will only work if the move requested by the user is a valid move.
SO! My main problem (sorry for all the explaining, just trying to give you all the information) is that I don't know how to keep track of how many times moveKnight() is called by the program. If i can figure this out it should be simple. I'm new to java but i believe...
if(moveKnight() is called)
{count++;} //count is a member variable already initialized
return count;
the moveKnight() is called section within the if() statement is what I am unclear how to do. Please help.
Thanks, Veritas

in your case you want 'count' to be a class attribute rather than a local variable. But yes, incrementing it each time that the method is called will serve your purpose.

An exception occurred during the call of a business method

An unexpected exception occurred during the call of a
business method...Im calling the business object thru the business Delegate.Im calling the business method with an argument as hash table .. And Im using Oracle 9i application server.. Hash table contains data packed in the form of xml...

Carol,
The file is not being read by the programmer.
The problem seems to be coming when the code tries to return from an ejb call A hashtable is returned while coming back. In this hashtable, the data is present in the form of XML DOM Object(oracle implmentation, because oracle xml development kit is used). I think this exception is coming when EJB tries to serialise the object to send it back.
So, this exception is compeletely stemming from internal classes of Oracle
The code is part of a web project.

Amol Behrani

DoGet method is called 2 times when a switch-case statement is used

Hello all,
I have a servlet that, when run from browser, runs the doGet method 2 times.
I have a switch case statement within the servlet and when I comment out this servlet, it runs 1 time as expected.

Init method is called multiple times

Hi,
init method in my servlet is called more than 1 time.
I think it is supposed to be called only 1 time,when the application is loaded.
anything to do with web.xml ???
or else what r the situations that init method is called more than 1 time
thanks

Hi,
actually I figured out the problem.
I am using logger staements for debugging.
I am also using singlethread model for servlet.
I came to know that it creates multiple instances of servlet...
which inturn calls init method multiple times.
i took out that singlethread model,now it is working perfect.
Thanks

Transactional business method is called 4 times on failure
