    Apache Axis2 - Guide to using EJB Provider for Axis2

    http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/ejb-provider.html

    Guide to using EJB Provider for Axis2


    The EJB message receiver allows one to access stateless session EJBs (Enterprise JavaBeans) through Web services. The example used in this guide illustrates how to use the EJB provider that ships with Axis2 to access EJBs deployed on a J2EE server such as Geronimo or JBoss. This example explains how to use Geronimo 1.1 and JBoss 4.0.4.GA as application server. The following steps will take you through the example through which we will explain how to use an EJB provider in Axis2

    1. Creating a Simple Stateless Session EJB


    First we need to create a stateless session EJB. Use the following files to make an EJB for testing:
    Remote interface (Hello.java) package my.ejb; import javax.ejb.EJBObject; public interface Hello extends EJBObject, HelloBusiness { }

    The following interface defines the business methods available in


    1.HelloBusiness.java
    package my.ejb; import java.rmi.RemoteException; public interface HelloBusiness { public String sayHello(String name) throws RemoteException; }

    2, Remote home interface - HelloHome.java


    package my.ejb; import javax.ejb.EJBHome; import javax.ejb.CreateException; import java.rmi.RemoteException; public interface HelloHome extends EJBHome { public Hello create() throws CreateException, RemoteException; }

    3. Bean class - HelloBean.java


    package my.ejb; import javax.ejb.SessionBean; import javax.ejb.SessionContext; import javax.ejb.EJBException; import javax.ejb.CreateException; public class HelloBean implements SessionBean { public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessionContext) throws EJBException {} public public public public void void void void ejbRemove() throws EJBException {} ejbActivate() throws EJBException {} ejbPassivate() throws EJBException {} ejbCreate() throws CreateException {}

    public String sayHello(String name) { return "Hello " + name + ", Have a nice day!"; } }

    4. Deployment descriptor - ejb-jar.xml


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd" version="2.1"> <enterprise-beans> <session> <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name> <home>my.ejb.HelloHome</home> <remote>my.ejb.Hello</remote> <ejb-class>my.ejb.HelloBean</ejb-class>

    <session-type>Stateless</session-type> <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type> </session> </enterprise-beans> <assembly-descriptor> <container-transaction> <method> <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name> <method-name>*</method-name> </method> <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute> </container-transaction> </assembly-descriptor> </ejb-jar>

    http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/ejb-provider.html

    Now we have to write application server specific deployment descriptor(s) for the Hello EJB. The following listing shows an example Geronimo/OpenEJB deployment descriptor (openejb-jar.xml)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <openejb-jar xmlns="http://www.openejb.org/xml/ns/openejb-jar-2.1" xmlns:naming="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.1" xmlns:security="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/security-1.1" xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1" xmlns:pkgen="http://www.openejb.org/xml/ns/pkgen-2.0"> <enterprise-beans> <session> <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name> <jndi-name>my/ejb/HelloBean</jndi-name> </session> </enterprise-beans> </openejb-jar>

    If you want to test on JBoss, use the following JBoss deployment descriptor (jboss.xml)
    <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 4.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_4_0.dtd"> <jboss> <enterprise-beans> <session> <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name> <jndi-name>my/ejb/HelloBean</jndi-name> </session> </enterprise-beans> </jboss>

    Compile the above java classes and bundle the compiled classes and the XML files into a jar file (HelloEJB.jar) as shown below.

    HelloEJB.jar | +--META-INF | +--ejb-jar.xml | +--jboss.xml [If you want to deploy on Jboss] | +--openejb-jar.xml [If you want to deploy on Geronimo/Openejb] | +--my +--ejb | +--Hello.class +--HelloBean.class +--HelloBusiness.class +--HelloHome.class

    Next, deploy the HelloEJB.jar file onto the appropriate J2EE application server.

    Creating the Axis2 Service Archive


    Now we need to make the services.xml file.
    <serviceGroup> <service name="HelloBeanService"> <description>Hello! web service</description> <messageReceivers> <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-only" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.ejb.EJBInOnlyMessageReceiver"/> <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.ejb.EJBMessageReceiver"/> </messageReceivers> <parameter name="ServiceClass">my.ejb.HelloBusiness</parameter> <parameter name="remoteInterfaceName">my.ejb.Hello</parameter> <parameter name="homeInterfaceName">my.ejb.HelloHome</parameter> <parameter name="beanJndiName">my/ejb/HelloBean</parameter> <parameter name="providerUrl">[URL]</parameter> <parameter name="jndiContextClass">[Context Factory Class Name]</parameter> </service>

    </serviceGroup>

    http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/ejb-provider.html

    In the above services.xml file, replace the [URL] and [Context Factory Class Name] with valid values as follows: i.e. If the EJB is deployed on Geronimo: Replace [URL] by 127.0.0.1:4201 Replace [Context Factory Class Name] by org.openejb.client.JNDIContext For Jboss: Replace [URL] by jnp://localhost:1099 Replace [Context Factory Class Name] by org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory Bundle the HelloBeanService.wsdl, services.xml, remote interface class and home interface class as illustrated below:

    HelloBeanService.aar | +--META-INF | +--services.xml | +--lib | +--[jars used by the ejb client eg.initial context factory classes] | +--my +--ejb +--Hello.class +--HelloBusiness.class +--HelloHome.class

    The lib directory of HelloBeanService.aar must contain all the libraries needed to access the EJB. If the EJB is deployed on Geronimo, add the following jar files to the lib directory. cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar geronimo-ejb_2.1_spec-1.0.1.jar geronimo-j2ee-jacc_1.0_spec-1.0.1.jar geronimo-kernel-1.1.jar geronimo-security-1.1.jar openejb-core-2.1.jar For JBoss add the following jar files. jnp-client.jar jboss-client.jar jboss-common-client.jar jboss-remoting.jar jboss-serialization.jar jboss-transaction-client.jar concurrent.jar jbosssx-client.jar jboss-j2ee.jar Deploy HelloBeanService.aar on an Axis2 server. Now you can access the Hello EJB through Web services. Since our EJB message receivers extend RPC message receivers, org.apache.axis2.rpc.client.RPCServiceClient can be used to invoke the service as illustrated in the following code fragment.
    ... RPCServiceClient serviceClient = new RPCServiceClient(); Options options = serviceClient.getOptions(); EndpointReference targetEPR = new EndpointReference("http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/HelloBeanService"); options.setTo(targetEPR); QName hello = new QName("http://ejb.my/xsd", "sayHello"); Object[] helloArgs = new Object[] {"John"}; System.out.println(serviceClient.invokeBlocking(hello, helloArgs).getFirstElement().getText()); ...
