Background
EJBoss has been renamed JBoss and is well advanced with stable J2EE compliant
releases at
http://www.jboss.org/.
This section was written when it was still EJBoss 0.95 and needs to be updated.
Download
JBoss can be downloaded from the JBoss website at
http://www.jboss.org/.
Installation
I suggest installing files in the /usr/local directory. After downloading,
run:
mkdir /usr/local/ejboss
mv ejboss* /usr/local/ejboss
Unjar the file:
jar xvf ejboss095_jdk122.jar
You should see various files and directories created under /usr/local/ejboss.
The above example shows EJBoss 0.95 for JDK 1.2.2. Substitute the file
names as appropriate.
Setting up Your Environment
The environment variables to set up are:
The CLASSPATH environment variable references all JARs and directories
that you will need to compile and run Java programs.
Include the EJBoss JAR and the beans/generated directory in your CLASSPATH.
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/ejboss/lib/ejboss095_jdk122.jar:/usr/local/ejboss/beans/generated:$CLASSPATH
Confiming Your Installation
You are now ready to compile and run a simple EJB application. Create the
following three source files for the server.
First, the business interface.
// EJBTest.java
import javax.ejb.*;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public
interface EJBTest extends EJBObject {
public String greet() throws
RemoteException;
}
Second, the home interface.
// EJBTestHome.java
import javax.ejb.*;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public
interface EJBTestHome extends EJBHome {
public EJBTest create() throws
CreateException, RemoteException;
}
Third, the bean implementation class.
// EJBTestBean.java
import javax.ejb.*;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public
interface EJBTestBean implements SessionBean {
private SessionContext
mContext = null;
public void ejbPassivate() {
System.out.println("EJBTestBean
passivated.");
}
public void ejbActivate() {
System.out.println("EJBTestBean
activated.");
}
public void ejbCreate() {
System.out.println("EJBTestBean
created.");
}
public void ejbRemove() {
System.out.println("EJBTestBean
removed.");
}
public void setSessionContext() {
System.out.println("EJBTestBean
context set.");
mContext = context;
}
public String greet()
{
return "Hello, I'm an EJB!";
}
}
Compile the server source files with the Java compiler:
javac EJBTest*.java
If the compiler produces errors, double check the syntax and confirm your
PATH and CLASSPATH.
Now that you have successfully written and compiled the server source files,
you need to deploy your bean to EJBoss. Deploying a bean to EJBoss requires
several steps that must be performed exactly.
First, create the file ejb-jar.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1252"?>
<ejb-jar ID="">
<description></description>
<display-name></display-name>
<small-icon></small-icon>
<large-icon></large-icon>
<ejb-client-jar></ejb-client-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<description>Nextgen bean</description>
<ejb-name>nextgen.EJBTest</ejb-name>
<home>EJBTestHome</home>
<remote>EJBTest</remote>
<ejb-class>EJBTestBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateful</session-type>
<transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
<env-entry>
<description></description>
<env-entry-name></env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value></env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
<resource-ref>
<description></description>
<res-ref-name></res-ref-name>
<res-type></res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor />
</ejb-jar>
The above file, which must be named ejb-jar.xml identifies the interface
and class names of files that you just created as well as a name for the object.
Second, relative to the directory of the three class files you just created,
create a META-INF directory.
mkdir META-INF
mv ejb-jar.xml META-INF
Third, package all four files into a jar.
jar cvf EJBTest.jar EJBTest*.class META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
You should see that it added the manifest as well as the three class files
and the XML deployment descriptor file.
Fourth, put the JAR you just created in the EJBoss beans directory.
mv EJBTest.jar /usr/local/ejboss/beans
Fifth, move the class files you created to the EJBoss beans/generated directory.
mv EJBTest*.class /usr/local/ejboss/beans/generated
(This fifth step is redudant due to a bug in EJBoss 0.95. )
You are now ready to start the EJBoss server.
cd /usr/local/ejboss
sh server.sh
You should see the proxy files compile automatically and confirmation that
your EJB is deployed.
You are now ready to write, compile and test the simple client applicaiton.
