"Could not auto-map to resource" problem when using EJB annotations
only
Hi all,
I try to deploy an EAR with some (skinny) WAR's and some EJB's. All EJB's
use the @Resource tag for Database access. I always get a deployment error,
that the resource could not auto-map. Instead the error message tell me to
use a Geronimo deployment plan.
After looking deeper in the Deployment plan mechanism of Geronimo I'm
completely confused. I found that I need an "openejb-jar.xml" and use the
<resource-ref> Tag in it. This only works, if I have also a standard
"ejb-jar.xml". But does this mean, that I have to really write all the "old
pre JEE5" deployment descriptors for all my EJB's to deploy the EAR to
Geronimo?
Is there a way to tell Geronimo the name of a JDBC resource globally - maybe
in the "geronimo-application.xml" - I haven't found a hint about this?
I tried Geronimo 2.1.4 and 2.2-SNAPSHOT.
Thanks in advance for an answer,
greetings,
Frank

Hi Rex,
thanks a lot for your work and help. This works great! So I'm simply able to
define it in the geronimo-application.xml. Now I'm able to deploy the same
EAR in different application server implementations - great! I didn't find
this hint in the Geronimo documentation.
Thanks and Greetings,
Frank:jumping:

I think you should be able to avoid geronimo plans for each module.
You need to
1. make sure that the name specified in the annotations or dd resource-
ref is the same as the datasource name you specify when you deploy the
connection pool.
2. make the connection pool "visible" to your application by adding
its id as a dependency to the geronimo plan for your application.
This should be enough to make the auto-map work.
hope this helps

Hi Rex,
thanks for your answer. But this, I think, is the problem. My EAR consits
out of 40 EJB's and 25 WAR's and all are using the @Resource injection for
the database. Til now I don't have descriptors for the EJB's (no
"ejb-jar.xml") - I thought they are no longer neccessary in JEE5. And the
deployment descriptors of the WAR's ("web.xml") only contains the
servlet-mappings. (This EAR file can successfully deployed in JBoss and in
GlassFish without modifications.)
To be able to deploy this in Geronimo do I really need to add 40 new
"openejb-jar.xml", 40 new "ejb-jar.xml" and 25 new "geronimo-web.xml" files
- and also change 25 "web.xml" files to place the <resource-ref> tag? Is
there no way to just use injection without specifying it in all descriptors?
Maybe there is a way to define a jdbc resource globally in Geronimo to use
in with injection?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Rex,
thanks for the answer. But when I add this to the "application.xml" I get an
error, that this element is not allowed here. After looking to the
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd I couldn't find any hint
about the <resource-ref> tag inside the application.xml.
I couldn't find any hint about the <resource-ref> inside an application.xml
even not in the JaveEE5 specification.
Have you tried this?
Thanks,
Frank

hi frank
This should be add to the application.xml(not geronimo-application.xml), coz
it is NOT Geronimo specific. It is the JEE specific.
<resource-ref>

Hi David,
thanks a lot for your explanation. I've tried to deploy it, as you
described, but it didn't work.
I don't know where my mistake is. I've tried it in the following way:
1. Using the WebConsole, I've created a database pool using the database
pool wizard. The name of the pool is "jdbc/__mes". The database is
accessible successfully (test-db-ping works).
2. Now the database pool with the name "jdbc/__mes" is listed in the
"Database Pools" page in Geronimos WebConosle. If I follow the link "Usage"
for this pool, I see a lot of hints how to use this pool - but I can't bring
it to work.
3. The "Usage" page tell me to include the following section into my
"web.xml":
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDataSource</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Also this page tell me to insert the following code into the
"geronimo-web.xml" file:
<environment>
<moduleId>
<artifactId>MyWebApp</artifactId>
</moduleId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>console.dbpool</groupId>
<artifactId>jdbc___mes</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</environment>
<context-root>/MyWebApp</context-root>
<resource-ref>
<ref-name>jdbc/MyDataSource</ref-name>
<resource-link>jdbc/__mes</resource-link>
</resource-ref>
As fas as I understand you, it is not neccessary to do this in the web.xml
and geronimo-web.xml files. Instead I may define this in the
geronimo-web.xml.
As you wrote, I've tried to use add a dependency in the
geronimo-application.xml - this is the result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application>
<environment>
<moduleId>
<artifactId>mes.suite</artifactId>
</moduleId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>console.dbpool</groupId>
<artifactId>jdbc___mes</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</environment>
</application>
The @Resource annotation has a "name" this attribute: "jdbc/__mes".
But I still got this deployment error. Also I've tried to insert the
following section in the geronimo-application.xml, but it didn't help:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/__mes</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
I don't know, what my mistake is.
Do I need to add something to the "application.xml"?
What do I need to add to the "geronimo-web.xml" to make jdbc connection
available for all web and ejb modules included in the ear?
Thanks,
Frank

So..... geronimo is assembled out of plugins (e.g. your app becomes a
plugin once deployed). The plugins form a directed acyclic graph
(each plugin has a bunch of parents, and you can't have circular
dependencies). When the deployer tries to figure out what datasource
you're asking for it looks only in the directed acyclic subgraph of
ancestors of your app. (this lets you deploy lots of distinct
datasources with the same "name" in different plugins and still be
able to refer to them individually without specifying the exact plugin
they come from everywhere you want a datasource).
So...
- deploy a datasource e.g. using the console and note what the
artifact name is for the resulting plugin
- add a dependency on that datasource plugin into the ear or ejb plan
(geronimo-application.xml or openejb-jar.xml)
As long as the name in the @Resource annotation matches the name in
the connector plan that's all that's necessary.
