Using JODA Date in Entity Bean

We are planning to use JODA open source in our project which is actually a replacement for Java Calendar and Date. Like to know how can we map the JODA Datetime to date columns in the table. Refer the link http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs60/ejb/cmp.html for the supported data types. Is there any server specific extension available to support new data types.
If not, we should still use util.Date in the entity bean but expose as DateTime outside. We'll do the conversion between util.Date and DateTime in the entity bean since we don't want to expose java.util.Date outside teh entity bean.
But this restriction will fail for finder queries implemented through EJB QL unless the servic emethid calling the finder do the conversion to util.Date before calling. Is there a clean way to use JODA DateTime in Entity Bean

EJB doesn't support identity field. EJB expects you set primary key values explicitly. There is a well known pattern that makes use of a session bean to generate entity bean primary key. Your best option is to use BMP or give up auto increment identity fields.

Caching data with Entity Bean

Hello,
I am performing some tests concerning the benefit of caching data with Entity Bean.
Here is the case :
I have an Entity Bean with a business method getName() to retrieve a name field in the EJB.
I understand that in order to cach data, I have to set the NOT_SUPPORTED transaction attr for this method. In this way, when this method is called, the ejbReload() is not called and the data is retreived from the EJB ready instance (and not from the database).
Is it true and is it the good way to use the cach mechanism ?
Now if we consider that this instance is the only one in the ready stage, and it is never pooled (it seems so !), what about a modification of the database from a tier (or from an other EB instance)? The Entity Bean is not able to see this modification seence it does not call the ejbLoad method.
Is there a way to force an Entity Bean to be periodically polled in order to recover data from the data store when activated ?
Thanks in advance,
Thierry

No, This is wrong way of doing what you want. Most of the application servers provide various configuration settings for this. Eg. caching mechanism, interval on when to call ejbLoad and ejbStore, read only beans. You have to check the documentation for this.

How to handle multiple tables data in Entity Beans?

How to handle multiple tables data in Entity Beans?
i mean, my bean (non trivial) is responsible for frequent
insertion in one table and some deletion on another table.
Can anyone of you...please..?

Is your data model right? If you are adding in one and deleting in another it sounds to me more like a process that an entity, in which case you may revisit your data model and simplify it, add in a session bean with the process method to co-ordinate between the two.
However, if you want to map multiple different tables within a single entity bean it is possible and just part of the mapping. How you actualyl specify it depends on which implementation you are working with.
Cheers,

Lookup Data ( Readonly Entity Bean)

My application has a requirement for multiple lookup data ( asset types ,
broker types ) with code and description. The lookup data is fairly static
and only updated through an external source.Can I use a read only BMP Entity
EJB. The primary key will be the lookup type.
Is this a good pattern or are any other efficient ways to achieve the same
thing.
John.

That fits quite well into what ReadOnly entity beans are designed for.

Using Identity Field in Entity Bean

hi.....
i am using Orion 2.0 with SQL Server 2000(professional) on Windows 2k...
i got database with 10 tables...
each table got an identity field where i am getting new value by database whenever i enter some data....
now i don't have any access with the indentity field as it is totally managed by Database.....
whenever i tried to set in ejb-jar.xml the column name,...while intestion ..it is giving me insert error as i don't have any access to that field( indentity field)
and if i don't mention primary key...as that field....there is error for deployment...saying that no primary key defined........or primary key is nullll.....
and i need to use that indentity field....else i need to manage all the other insertion in BMP which i don't want to do...
Pls help me asap

Using Composite keys in Entity Beans

Hi, I am trying to develop a test application with two entity beans, (1) OrderBean (key is a string called order_no) and (2) LineBean (key is order_no and an integer line_no) using CMP 2.0. Relationship between OrderBean to LineBean is 1 to many. I created a primary key class for LineBean called, LinePK with both order_no and line_no as the public members. My home interface for LineBean has the following three finder methods:
public java.lang.Object findByPrimaryKey(LinePK lkey);
public Collection findByOrder(String order_no);
public Collection findByProduct(String product_id);
I could provide sql for the OrderBean which has only one field(order_no) as primary key, but I don't know how to code appropriate SQL for the finder methods of LineBean involving a user defined primary key class (in my case LinePK with order_no and line_no). I am trying to deploy this application in J2EE RI server, but getting deployment errors saying invalid return types for the finder methods. In the deploytool I provided the primary key class for LineBean as java.lang.Object with no primary key field name. Any help in this matter with sample sql code is greatly appreciated. Thanks !!!

Some things to consider:
- Your findByPrimaryKey in the Remote interface needs to have the remote interface as return type
- The implementation of the finder needs to have your primary key class as return type
- If you're using CMP 2.0, you need to specify the search criteria as EJB QL
Using CMP 2.0, you don't code findByPrimaryKey at all, all you need is the EJB QL for findByOrder/findByProduct in the deployment descriptor. The EJB QL for findByOrder would look like:
select Object o from Line where o.order_no = ?1If you use BMP, you would code the findByPrimaryKey implementation like this:
public LinePK ejbFindByPrimaryKey(LinePK pk) throws FinderException {
String sql = "select order_no from line_table where line_no=? and order_no=?";
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ic.lookup("datasourcename");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, DataSource.class);
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
try {
    PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    try {
      stmt.setInteger(1, pk.line_no);
      stmt.setInteger(2, pk.order_no);
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
      if (!rs.next())
        throw new ObjectNotFoundException("not found: " + order_no + "." + line_no);
      return pk;
    finally {
      stmt.close();
finally {
    conn.close();

Use same transaction in entity-bean and Datasource

Hello
I've got following problem. In my stateless container managed transaction Sessionbean i do some inserts and update on my container managed entity bean. In the same transaction I have to read some informations on the database. Some of those informations are already set by the entity bean, but not yet commited. Now I want to read them through a javax.sql.DataSource. But this Datasource doesn't use the same transaction as the session bean.
Question: Is it possible to let a Datasoucre use the same Transaction as Sessionbean?
(i work with WSAD 4.0.3)
Thanks

Hi,
You would have to check that you are using an XADataSource instance, instead of a 'regular' DataSource instance (which will not adopt the transaction started by the application server). In particular, the JNDI lookup name of the DataSource should actually point to an instance of XADataSource; a special type for container transactions.
The administration/deployment tools of the WS will allow you to do that, under Resource Factories or DataSources somewhere.
Both types look the same towards your application code, so your session bean is probably fine the way it is and does not need rewriting. It is merely in the setup of the WS server that the difference lies.

Using JDO under BMP entity beans

I have an entity bean that is a BMP which uses JDO under the hood. The Oc4J document says that "Bean-managed persistence entity beans manage the resource locking within the bean implementation themselves" in the advanced subject chapter. Ok can someone in oracle add an extra line eloborating on that statement ?
I am stuck in trying to pass a test that can do concurrent modify of an entity bean. I had 2 or more threads trying to modify one single BMP entity bean object concurrently. The database vendor recognizes one bean had the lock and deny locks to any other beans. Who should block the call to the database until one thread releases the lock on the object ? The developer ? J2EE container ? Database ?
J2EE tenet "Developers are shielded from concurrency and threading issues while implementing business logic" Does that still hold ??
An object Person's salary value and his benefit information are tried to be modified at the same time by different external system(salary administrator, benefit's administrator). But I dont want the user to see the lock on the object error, but instead I require a pessimistic lock on the BMP. Why does Oc4J not support pessimistic concurrency option for BMP ?

Kurien,
If you wish to bring something to the attention of the "Oracle dev team", I suggest you try Oracle's "MetaLink" Web site:
http://metalink.oracle.com
It is the official Oracle support Web site.
These forums are for the Oracle community. Oracle Corporation employees are not obliged to even visit these forums.
By the way, I am not an Oracle employee.

To use Entity Bean or Oracle stored Package?

Currently, in my project, Weblogic8.1 and Oracle is used, but lots of business logic is implemented using Oracle stored Packages, many of these packages have a package level readonly lookup table(like index-by table or nested table), which is populated with data from database, once the package is called, and is accessed very often in subsequent calls of stored procedures.
Since, in Weblogic server, a connection pool is maintained, and those package level lookup tables would be stored as session data in oracle PGA, I'm afraid this might cause oracle database server to be overloaded.
to fully take advantage of middleware cache service that weblogic provide, should I move those business logic out of oracle and implement them using like read only entity bean?
any help appreciated!

Its very hard to say without knowing the usage patterns of the data. It sounds like you have a lot of read-only entities. These could be spread around a WLS cluster, therefore there is more scalability and performance with this option. However, I would not neccessarily rewrite business logic from SP into EJB just for middle-tier caching.
If its a DB intensive app with lots of SQL, then if the calls are within SP's, there is only 1 call from WLS and the DBA ought o be able to tune the DB usin read-ahead and other DBA semantics. If there is locality of reference in the data, again, DB can use read-ahead better than WLS, although RO cache in middle is more scalable than DBMS.
I wouldnt rewrite business logic from SP to EJB/Entity beans to take advantage of cache, especially if there is no locality of read-only reference to data. Oracle could do this better in my opinion, especially if SP's already exist
Need for information on the usage patterns of the data - how is it CRUD'd.
I would use-case the steel threads and put them under test load to see if the SP's really are an issue, since this is an architecture decision. What state is the project at? Live/Dev? Inception?

Using Data Acess Command Beans as Model

Hey guys,
actually I try to get data from some EJBs (Entity Beans) into my Web Dynpro application.
Inside SDN I found a tutorial which uses the 'Data Access Command Bean pattern' to connect the EJB-Backend to a WD application (The tutorial is called 'Using EJBs in Web Dynpro applications. You find it in the 'Web Dynpro Sample Applications and Tutorials' subsection in the 'SAP NetWeaver -> Application Server -> Web Dynpro' section). The author writes a 'Command Bean' which is bound to the WD application as a model. This bean has an 'execute()' method which calls two business methods from a session bean. Because of data binding the private attributes from the bean class are filled with the data in the corresponding model class.
Everything is fine so far.
But in my WD application I want to handle two or more context elements from the model node with the command bean. Therefore I guess I have to call the execute() method for every context element of the model node, cause the private attributes of the command bean will only hold the data of the current context element (that's what I assume). Well the point is that every call of execute() will result in an insert operation on the database.
In my opinion it would be a better way to give all context elements in one batch to the EJB-Backend so that the connection to the database have to be opened and closed only once instead after every call of the execute method.
I wonder now if it is possible to pass the whole context elements collection to the EJB-Backend. Did anyone have some experience with this?
Thanks in advance to all answers!
Regards,
Torben

You can simply provide an attribute in your Command Bean of type Collection. This can hold a collection of DTOs (<a href="http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/TransferObject.html">Data Transfer Object</a> pattern... also known as Transfer Object or Value Object) to which you can bind a context node.
This attribute can then be populated with an appropriate collection of DTOs explicitly in your code... or optionally, you can bind a UI Element of type Table, for example to the associated context node. Then provide some functionality in your UI to make it possible for users to add elements to that table.
When comes the time to call your back-end, you can pass that collection directly to your business delegate (or Session Bean if you're interacting directly with that):
public void execute()
bizDelegate.insertSomething(this.getDtoCollection());

Using Vectors in Entity Beans

Hello,
Can I use vectors in entity and store them in Tables directly as binary objects.I have tried making that bean but facing problem in retriving data from table using EJB-QL.Here are code snippets:
-------public abstract class CartEntityBean implements EntityBean {
     private EntityContext ctx;
     public abstract String getCartId();
     public abstract Vector getItems();
     public abstract void setCartId(String CartId);
     public abstract void setItems(Vector items);
public String ejbCreate(String cartId,Vector items) throws CreateException {
          setCartId(cartId);
          return cartId;
rest other methods omitted
public interface CartHomeInterface extends EJBHome{
public CartRemoteInterface create (String cartId,Vector items )throws CreateException,RemoteException ;
public CartRemoteInterface findByPrimaryKey(String pk) throws FinderException, RemoteException;
public Collection findmyItems() throws FinderException, RemoteException;
I am using Cloudscape as Database.
Please help weather I can use Complex objects in Entity Beans or Not

this is no good idea to store the cart-items as a java-vector. you should create a entity bean cart and a entity bean cartItem. then create a cmr between the two entity beans.

Use direct JDBC with CMP entity bean in one transaction

I am trying to use direct JDBC call with CMP entity bean within a session
bean method that requires transaction. The problem is that it appears these
are not in the same transaction. When I use the JDBC call, the CMP entity
bean update to the DB has not been committed yet.
We are using Weblogic 5.1 SP6. The DB is Oracle.
What I do for the JDBC is get a new connection from the pool using weblogic
jdbc pool driver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Patrick

Hi. You can do JDBC and invoke CMP EJBs and have this all treated
as one transaction, if your hand-written code explicitly starts
a JTS transaction, then uses the jts driver or a TxDataSource to
get the JDBC connection. Then your code can call transactional
EJBs and their work will be included in the transaction you started.
Assuming the bean work went OK, and your manual JDBC went OK, you
can manually commit the UserTransaction at that time. This is 5.1
talk. For 6.0, with @PC, this may be even easier...

Is there any way to use JDBC with CMP Entity bean in the same transaction?
Patrick
"L'artiste" <[email protected]> wrote in message

Are you calling all the CMP create in the session Bean ? If so, beforeyou
make the JDBC call from the session bean, the CMP in 2. should commit. Try
to set its attribute to TX_REQUIRES_NEW. This way, the calling client will
block until this transaction is done (committed) before the execution
continues. There might be some overhead involved in doing so if you are
anticipating a lot of users.

What I am trying to do is:
In a Session bean method -
1. create a new CMP entity bean (a new row in DB table)
2. create another new CMP entity bean that uses previous bean as foreignkey
3. use JDBC to update the row just created
And all these 3 calls have to be in one transaction.

Deploying BMP Entity Bean with primary key calss

Hi,
I am using EJB 2.0 with and websphere studio 5.0 and database is sql server 2000.
My BMP Entity bean has a primary key class.From my client I am invoking the Entity Bean by calling it's findbyprimarykey method.
The home interface of my findbyprimarykey method returns a class of type Remote.But in the Entity Bean class,the return type is the primarykey class type.
My problem is invoking this findbyprimarykey from the client to get the remote interface so that the other business methods of the entity bean can be called.
The control goes into the ejbFindbyPrimaryKey but when it is returing from the Entity Bean class,it gives a remote exception (as the return type in Entity Bean class and Home interface are different for the findbyprimarykey method).
I think that somewhere in the deployment decriptor in my websphere,i have to specify the primarykey class type,which i am missing out and hence getting the error.
Please help me out with your advice and solution.
Thanks
