EJBInvoker, progress, observations, questions about EJB creation organization, other various questions.

Hi Sergey,

I am wondering about the 'finally' block in the
'public Object invoke(Exchange exchange, Object request)' method of the
JAXRSInvoker class.

For me, it is line numbers: 113-139.

These lines call the resourceProvider to release the object instance in
certain cases. Is this something that
we can exclude from the JAXRSEJBInvoker? Should the bean manage all of its
lifecycle based on the
annotation or lifecycle-type (as when declared in xml)?

In the InvokerFactory model, it releases the instance. In that model, the
invoker plays the role of the resourceProvider
by containing the Factory.

I went through the CXFEasyBeansInvoker from easybeans, and compared it with
the Jonas version, by commenting each
line or group of lines with their location in the Jonas/CXF version. I think
that now, we need to:

Get the bean instance from the factory and use java.lang.reflect.Method to
invoke the method.

After the method is invoked, the bean is released. The InvokerFactory does
that by way of the Invoker in the Jonas model.

The Jonas model has JAXWSInvoker (with no invoke methods) managing other
aspects of cleanup during invocation.

The EasyBeansCXFInvoker invoke(w/ 4 params) method, contains, all the way
down to the exceptionHandling, the essentials
of the EasyBeans portion of the invocation. The remainder is common to
AbstractInvoker.

Right now, then, I am looking at JAXRSInvoker. If
serverFactory.setResourceClass() won't work, how will we adjust it to allow
for @Stateless, @Stateful, etc. annotations? I think that it currently
throws an exception for an unknown annotation.

Also, I've noticed that the JContainer3 has a method for creating a factory
for itself. I am wondering about passing in factories.
How will the factories be created? How will the IDeployable be created? I
was thinking about passing that in to the RP and
creating the factories that way, but maybe it would be better, somehow, to
create the bean instance somewhere.. where??,
and pass that into the RP, which can then invoke the JContainer3's start()
method, which calls createBeanFactories(), which
calls both createMessageDrivenBeanFactory and createSessionBeanFactory. So,
passing the bean in, seems to be the,
now, preferred, method, however, where and how is the bean going to be
created? Do we declare it as a resourceClass?
It does not seem to be focused on as being a class, in Easybeans, rather,
the focus seems to be that of the entire deployable
package or folder or archive.

So, I am wondering what you think about the idea of passing the bean in and
using it to start the factory, but am concerned about
how cxf proposes to deploy this container? Should I be looking at the
CXF/Jetty (such as cxfServlet) interface and finding out
how the bean should be deploying through jetty? or are we just going to have
the bean resource, lifecycle managed by factory,
sitting alone as accessible through a servlet?

I think that I am close to having the invoker finished. My main concern is
how are we going to get the beans instantiated so that I can
test them as being deployed? My main concern with the invoker is, what parts
of JAXRSInvoker correspond to sf.declareResourceClass?
If that method will not run for EJB annotations, what will become of cri and
ori? Will we change declareResourceClasses? Will it be
necessary?

I just wanted to update you on my progress. The class-scanner in the RP
might be moved out of the RP into whatever class creates an
EJB IDeployable and packages it into a bean, returing a factory instance.

Thanks,

Ryan

Are you asking how to deploy CXF JAXWS Easybeans endpoints ?
You need to understand how that works, every single bit. I can't help
there, you need to talk to Easybeans
experts, deploy it, and then we will discuss how a similar procedure
can be achieved for JAX-RS. You are asking questions which I can only
attempt to answer by doing exactly what I'm asking you to do, deploy
JAX-WS endpoint and learn and then repeat the similar process for
JAX-RS.

thanks, Sergey
