Updating an EJB jar file on WL7.0

Hi
Iam attempting to update an EBJ jar file without taking down my WL7.0 server.
When I copy the jar file to the applications directory, I see the server accepting
the update but when I run my client the update is not visible! Iseem to be still
accessing the old ejb.
From my understanding, if the server is running in development mode I should be
able to copy the jar file with my update directly to the applications directory(
overwriting old jar file) and be able to access the udated ejb.

Hello Ron,
An alternative would be to modify a REDEPLOY file if your application is deployed
in exploded directory format. However, updating the EJB JAR should also do the
trick. Try going into the Admin console and explicity redeploying the EJB JAR
file after copying over the new JAR file. Let us know if any errors appear.
Best regards,

Cannot build EJB jar file in NWDS

hello,
I changed java beans file, and tried to build jar file again, then the "build EJB archive" context menu is disabled so I can not make EJB jar file!
So frustrated.. NWDS recognizes the changes in the java files , right? How come there 's no Build menu..
Is there any pre-requisite to enable the menu?
I have no idea how I can build jar file..
Please give me a advice.. Thanks~!

You might check the weblogic.developer.interest.ejb.tools new group.
Make sure that the tool doesn't leave this ejbcgen directory around. It
should delete
that temp dir. When it doesn't it keeps all the old generated stuff around
and your changes won't be
reflected in the new jar.

Hi,
I have a problem with the EJBDeployerTool. When I want to update
a class file (for example, because I corrected any problem), the
deployer tool doesn't update the file correctly. It keeps the
old version of the class file.
In order to update a jar I have to copy the newer version in the
.ejbdeployer/provider-projects directory by hand. Is it a bug?
Is there any other way to do this? We are wasting too much time
in this task, instead of programming :_(

No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file

Hello all, we are thinking about migrating from JBoss to WebLogic server, so as a proof of concept I am trying to migrate a JBoss Seam web application to WebLogic server.
I have followed all the instructions here: http://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.0.2.SP1/reference/en-US/html/weblogic.html and I have set up ebvryhting that is needed in order to start the server (JMS queues, datasources, etc) but when the server starts and tries to load the web application I got the following error message

Hi John,
I am working on development an enterprise application using EJB 3.0 on Weblogic 10.
While developing, I am keeping all my classes (from ejb's as well as web) into APP-INF/classes directory. It is working fine for Web and ejb 2.0 packages, but ejb 3.0 packages, I get the following error when I keep my ejb 3.0 beans classes in APP-INF/classes directory.
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'customer'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
One solution is to keep the classes under customer ejb directory, but I wan tto keep all the classes in APP-INF/classes directory so that when using Eclipse IDE I can output all compiled sources into APP-INF/classes directory.
Has anyone faced this situation? Any suggestions to fix this issue?

ClassNotFoundException if ejb jar file is not placed in the server's classpath

Hi,
My ejb jar file contains some non-weblogic generated files and is placed in
the applications directory. When client is executed, I get the ClassNotFoundException
on the server when my bean makes a reference to the generated class. The problem
gets resolved if I put the ejb jar in the server's classpath.
This problem happens in weblogic server version 6.1. It was not happening in
the previous releases of weblogic server(6.0).

Well
I follow your instruction
I am pasting the command prompt operation
Coding is same above
My all three files (.java )is resides in javath folder

Problem building EJB jar file using Eclipse

Hi,
Here's my file sturcture.
ejb\x\y\z\test\
ejb\x\y\z\test1\
'ejb' is the root directory.
The java source files under 'test' have a package name x.y.z.test.
The java source files under 'test1' have a package name x.y.z.test1.
I want to build a EJB jar file for 'test' and 'test1' separately. In eclipse when I create an EJB project, I specify the root folder as the source in the java build path settings. So the project explorer in Eclipse shows both the packages since they are under the same root folder. When I try to do 'Export - EJB Jar File', it includes both the 'test' and 'test1' in the .jar. Is there a way to build them separately ?
Thanks,

As far as I know, there is no way in Eclipse to specify a package prefix for a source folder. Assuming that you are not using an operating system with support for symbolic links at FS-level, the only way I can think of solving your problem is via linked folders and includes/excludes.
1. Create two ejb projects in your workspace. Specify locations somewhere independent of where the root of your source tree is located.
2. Right click on proj1 and select Properties / Java Build Path / Source.
3. Click Link Source and specify the location to your source root on disk. Click Next.
4. In the inclusion patterns section, add a pattern that captures classes appropriate for that module. Click Finish.
5. Delete the original source directory that was created during project creation before leaving Build Path configuration dialog.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 on the second project, except specify a different inclusion pattern.
This should produce a project structure that Eclipse will be happy with, but you have to be a little bit careful. Even though you filtered out classes from the view of the java compiler for a particular project, you will still see them listed in the various navigational views (such as Package Explorer or Project Explorer). Don't modify these filtered out files. The project that is supposed to be building them will not react to changes in the other project. You will have to manually refresh (right click on project and select refresh) the other project before the java compiler will see changes.
Hope this will help you out.

Deployment error when using several ejb-jar files

Hello All,
I am having problems with deployment of my J2EE application. My EAR file has several EJB-JARs, one for each entity bean. However I refer to the other EJBs in one EJB. Hence I included the <ejb-ref> element in the deployment descriptor of the entity bean. But I am getting the deployment error that "the bundle does not contain the bean name". I tried to change the <ejb-name> value (within the <ejb-ref> element) to the JNDI name of the EJB I am referring to, and also added the <ejb-link> tag specifying the location of the JAR file that has the EJB. None of the attempts worked.
Can someone help me out on how I am supposed to go about when I have several ejb-jar files as opposed to a single one? I am deploying my app on Sun ONE AS 7.0.
Thank you,
PS: I am posting this message on several forum topics. Please disregard this message if you have seen/answered this message. Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I have got both Local and Remote EJB References, but for the JAR (where the ejbc compiler stopped) that I have an error, it is the local reference.

EJB relation mappings between different ejb jar files.

I have two local entity EJBs but they are in different ejb jar files. I'd like to make a relationship mapping (one-to-one, one-to-many or whatever) between them. Is it possible? To do that, I need <ejb-name> reference tag each other in both ejb-jar.xml, but how can I refer to ejb-name defined in different ejb jar files? Or as long as you make EJB relationship mappings, all EJBs must be in the same ejb jar file?
thanks,

Hi ,
It would help if you could post the relevant snippets of your
ejb-jar.xml. In general, you definitely shouldn't use jndi-name
for any of the linking information. jndi-name is not part of the
standard deployment descriptor. The syntax for the ejb-link is
[ejb-jar uri]#ejb-name

How to deploy EJB jar file in Weblogic 8.1

Hi,
I have created the EJB jar file, bearing home,remote,ejb and client class aling with the META-INF folder containing ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
After all this I am confused where to put this EJB jar file so that the container could deploy it.
I am putting it in application folder of my own created Domain.
Suggest me...

Put it anywhere you like. You can always deploy it using the administrator console. There usually is an auto-deployment directory for the domain. You could find all that information in the Weblogic documentation.

hi Naresh,
There is option called EJB Archive this option builds your EJB. if your trying to create Web Module Project you can only create WAR file .

Problem accessing Application Ejb Jar files from Apache Axis jars

I have deployed an EAR application, with a structure as shown below,
MyApp.ear
|____ MyApp_Ejb.jar
|____ axis.war
|_____ WEB-INF
|_____ lib (This contains all axis specific jars)
The application deploys just fine. But when i goto happyaxis.jsp and try to view all the web services that have been deployed. I get an exception "No provider type matches QName '{http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java}SDL".
Here SDL is a custom provider that i have written and all the required files for the provider are available in MyApp_Ejb.jar.
I do not get as to why the axis.jar is not able to find classes in MyApp_Ejb.ear, when both these are in the same ear.
Now i know i can add a utility jar to a war files classpath by adding a classpath line in the War file MANIFEST.MF. But since MyApp_Ejb.jar is defined as a Web Module this solution too doesnt help.
Separating the provider related files from MyApp_Ejb.jar is not possible since there is too much dependance of other files within that jar.
So i am looking for a solution where in i can continue to have MyApp_Ejb.jar as my ejb module as well as the axis related jars can find the required classes within MyApp_Ejb.jar. some way of sharing the ejb jar across to axis jars.
Thanks in advance.

How to create a deployable ejb(.jar file) when we use Oracle application sever?

Hi,
In case if we use Weblogic we give following command on console to create a deployable ejb, while weblogic.jar is in classpath.
java weblogic.ejbc temp.jar StudentBean.jar
1)What are the classes or jar files we have to set in classpath,
2)What console based command(like what I mentioned above for weblogic) can we use,
so that we can create a deployable jar file in case if we are using Oracle application server.
thanks,
Milind

You can discover the origins of a loaded class programatically. You want to print:
TheClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toString();

Update automatically a JAR file

He folks!
Here is what i want to:
1.
Develop a little dummy java applet (just for testing), placed in a jar file.
2.
That applet should be signed as a trusted applet, so that it can do some more
stuff on the client and
3.
Every time the user starts the applet on his client, the applet should
check on the server, if there is a newer version, and if so
update itself automatically, if not just start the jar file on the client machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to do that, or where to get some informations
about that topic?
greetings
Normen

Every time the user starts the applet on his client,
the applet should
check on the server, if there is a newer version, and
if so
update itself automatically, if not just start the jar
file on the client machine.That is already done automatically. If you want to bind the caching to a certain version number, or understand more about applet caching, you should read this single page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/applet_caching.html

Where do i place the already created .jar file. Please give me the exact syntax.
I placed my .jar file under http folder and ran the command jar cvfu Servlet.jar *.class but it did not work.
Thanks!

I assume that there is :
- a jar file that you wanna update with a newer class file
- a class file that you wanna use to update the jar file
you must copy the yourjarfile.jar in your home directory :
cp anydirectory/yourjarfile.jar /home/yourdirectory/
then you must uncompress it by :
cd /home/yourdirectory
jar -xf yourjarfile.jar
then you must copy the newer class file that you have compiled in the good subdirectory that has been created while uncompressing yourjafile.jar
cp directorywhereyouclassfileis/yourclassfile.class subdirectorycreatedwhileuncompressing/
then you can update you jar file by :
jar -uf directorycreatedwhileuncompressing/yourclassfile.class yourjarfile.jar
You can then verify that is has just been updated by :
jar -tvf yourjarfile.jar -->verify the date/time to check
hope it helps...

Updating a running JAR file without using JDK

Hi guys, I have been stuck on this problem for days. I have a program that allows the user to log in and encrypt/decrypt files. This program must be stored on the removable drive and it should work on any operating system without requiring any installation of files. In order to store their login data, I wrote it to a shadow.txt file. My idea was to pack this shadow file into the JAR file so as not to create unnecessary files. I understand that in order to update JAR files, all I need to do is to do
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("jar uf login.jar shadow.txt");However, here's the problem. I cannot assume that every user PC has JDK installed. As JRE doesn't have jar.exe, that command won't work anymore. Furthermore, the JAR is currently in use. So even if the user has JDK, windows will never allow this command to go through. Anyone has any ideas?

I had similar requirement, except that, i used a war file.
Had a client.war file in JBoss deploy directory, and i needed to update client.jnlp file present in it.
But as jar.exe comes only with jdk, could not use jar -uf command.
But not sure if it works with other application server too,
in jboss we can explode the war file, meaning we can create a directory "client.war" in deploy directory and extract your client.war contents to it. Now when server starts, it considers the extracted directory as web archive application.
This extraction can be done with out using jar.exe. can be done using jarinputstream aswell.
Once the contents are extracted , the files in it can be modified with out jar.exe.
For my case it worked as my client.war file is not signed, although the resources inside are signed.
