EJB lookup in JNDI?

[toby cabot <to...@caboteria.org>]

Hi Folks,

With Gianny's fix for EJB deployment (thanks!) I can now run the
deploy tool on modules/j2ee/target/test-ejb-jar.jar and start up the
server and everything looks good, i.e. no stack traces.  Now I'm
trying to call the EJB from a unit test outside Geronimo but I'm stuck
looking it up.  I cribbed some JNDI parameters from one of the unit
tests and I can connect to JNDI but when I list the entries in the ""
context all I find is "JMXConnector".  I seem to get the same result
no matter what I pass to InitialContext.list().

Here are my properties:
  <target name="test-geronimo" description="Run the unit tests that depend on the build having been deployed in Geronimo.">
    <java classname="skeleton.ServerUnitTest" failonerror="true" classpathref="testpath">
      <sysproperty   key="java.naming.factory.initial" value="com.sun.jndi.rmi.registry.RegistryContextFactory" />
      <sysproperty   key="java.naming.factory.url.pkgs" value="org.apache.geronimo.naming" />
      <sysproperty   key="java.naming.provider.url" value="rmi://localhost:1099"/>
    </java>
   </target>

The EJB's entry in openejb-jar.xml is:
    <enterprise-beans>
        <session>
            <ejb-name>SimpleStatelessSession</ejb-name>
            <jndi-name>client/test/simple/SimpleStatelessSessionHome</jndi-name>
        </session>
    </enterprise-beans>

I guess I should ask first if this functionality (i.e. remote JNDI and
EJB calls) is even implemented, maybe I'm trying something that's not
built yet.  If it's supposed to work I'd welcome any tips people can
offer.

Regards,
Toby

It complains if they're not there; and if they're set in system
properties it doesn't see them (and complains).  It works if they're
set in a Properties that's passed to the InitialContext constructor.

Thanks,

Hey Toby,

Is it complaining when they are not there or just when they are
specified in the system properties?

The code used to force you to specify a principal and credentials, but
since it isn't yet used I thought I dissabled that.  Let me know and
I'll fix it.

Thanks, Dain.  That's the ticket.  

For the benefit of archive-reading newbies (like me!), here's the
client-side code:

    InitialContext newInitialContext() throws NamingException {
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
        p.put("java.naming.provider.url", "127.0.0.1:4201");
        p.put("java.naming.security.principal", "myuser");
        p.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "mypass");
        
        return new InitialContext(p);
    }

For some reason I can't pass the java.naming.security.principal
property in from the system properties, openEJB complains that it's
null, but it works fine if I set it in Java.

Thanks again,
Toby

It does, but geronimo and openejb currently have separate jndi 
providers.  If you use these settings instead, it should work:

<sysproperty
     key="java.naming.factory.initial"
     value="org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory"/>

<sysproperty
     key="java.naming.provider.url"
     value="25.14.3.92:4201"/>

I don't believe it's there yet.
