Regarding Ejb 3.0 Deployment With Spring 2.5

[vasudm82]

Hi All,

At present, I am trying my hand in integrating Ejb 3.0 with Spring 2.5. I am using jboss 4.2.2 GA.
I am starting my server and deploying my ear file through Eclipse.

I am getting the following exception while deploying the ejb jar along with the ear file. ( after removing this ejb jar , the deployment is fine )

I am not sure where the mistake is.

below are the files.

Files inside META-INF
ejb-jar.xml

service.xml ( availabe in the root folder of the classpath )

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans>
	<!-- =========  DAO DECLARATIONS============== -->
	<bean id="rootService"
		class="com.demo.WorkService">
	</bean> 
 </beans>

Java Classes ( have not used the at-the-rate symbol for annotations while posting , as im not permitted to post it. )

Stateless(name = "MasterdataEJB")
public class MasterdataEJB extends AbstractStatelessSessionBean implements
		MasterdataService {
 
}

Local
public interface MasterdataHome extends EJBHome {
	public MasterdataRemote create() throws CreateException, RemoteException;
}

Remote
public interface MasterdataRemote extends MasterdataService, EJBObject {

}

public interface MasterdataService {
}

As of now, there are no methods. I am not getting why, I am getting this exp while deploying an ejb with spring.

Thanx in Advance.

First off all it seems you are mixing classes from EJB2 and EJB3, the AbstractStatelessSessionBean is EJB 2 NOT EJB3, the same for EJBHome and EJBObject, so start by removing that. Also isn't your interface declaration off?! Your @Local is at the Home interface not a Local interface. Just seems odd to me. Remember that EJB3 is an attempt to use POJO based programming in an EJB model. So no more special EJB classes, just some annotations.

Another question I have is is the service.xml posted in whole? No tx stuff going on? I also suggest chapter 18.3.2 which explains how to use spring in EJB3.

@Stateless(name = "MasterdataEJB")
@Interceptors(SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor.class)
public class MasterdataEJB implements MaterdataLocal, MasterdataRemote {

  public void someMethod() {
    System.out.println("someMethod called.");
  }

}

@Local
public interface MasterdataLocal extends MasterdataService {
}

@Remote
public interface MasterdataRemote extends MasterdataService {

}

public interface MasterdataService {
  public void someMethod();
}

I would have expected something like this. Although you might want to check if you really need both a Local and Remote interface...
