Deploy EJB2 on Weblogic 10.3 - weblogic

I try to deploy ejb2 on weblogic 10.3 but I face a problem the deployed ear can't see new methods added to any ejb session bean. I added the method to remote interface and I added the implementation to bean class. I hope anyone can help. Thanks

I believe WebLogic 10.3 supports EJB3, so you'll have to do some modification. You already have the evidence to prove it.

As you say the old EJBs are working, but it's not reflecting updated methods - I think this is cached.
Drill down on your server to the following path or a similar one
DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\cache\EJBCompilerCache
There will be many folders in there with random names like ff7i19ot3cg6 and l443b5vws35h
Clear out all these folders and redeploy the app

What can i do when allow_store_upgrade fails?

I'm using neo4j in a glassfish server through a modified version of Alex Smirnov neo4j JCA connector.
My version is available here : https://github.com/Riduidel/neo4j-connector
I'm using this connector with neo4j 1.8.
As a consequence, when i want to use it, i first install the connector in my Glassfish application server, then use this connector in applications wishing to connect to.
It works OK when using it with fresh stores.
But, when using it with stores created with previous version, I encounter weird bugs.
Typically, I got today the following stack
javax.resource.spi.ResourceAllocationException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Failed to transition org.neo4j.kernel.InternalAbstractGraphDatabase$DefaultKernelExtensionLoader#3bbd53b1 from NONE to STOPPED

A fast inspection reveals that this exception is linked to an undeletable "write.lock" file. My write.lock file can't be deleted because I guess migration is not over.
How can I make sure the migration is done before using it without migrating it outside of Glassfish ?
Is there a way to ahve exclusive store migrations in that context ? And if so, how ?
And is it the solution for my problem ?
EDIT 1 Added exception message.
EDIT 2 All this only happen when loaded graph was previously used with a Neo4j 1.5 and now with a Neo4j 1.8 connector. when graph is created by connector, absolutely no error happens.
EDIT 3 Strangely enough, this happens as long as there is no debugger plugged into that code : as soon as I try to debug it, the issue stop appearing. Which make me thinking there may be a migration cleanup mechanism that remvoe the write lock once migration is done, and this cleanup is not performed when using my neo4j JCA connector. Is it a valid observation ?
I am not too familiar with the JCA connector, but to be sure, I would just write a very small migration java class that opens the database, lets it migrate and shut down. Then try it again with the JCA connector?
After further investigations, truth revealed to not be in multiple calls to the EmbeddedGraphDatabase constructor, but instead to multiple identicail IndexProvider being loaded.
I use neo4j embedded in an open-source JCA connector.
In this connector, the org.neo4j.kernel.Service class is replaced by a custom one which contains a workaround regarding service loading for JBoss non shared libraries.
Unfortunatly, in our context, this workaround implies loading twice the index provider :
once using the EAR classloader
once using the Glassfish library classloader.
Why ?
Because, as our neo4j instance is using for application data AND for authentication, neo4j connector jar is put in ${domain}/lib. As a consequence, due to Classloader delegation in application server, the EAR classloader delegates to the Glassfish library classloader, and find this way the LuceneIndexProvider. Then, the Glassfish library classloader is directly used to load the same LuceneIndexProvider class.
This concludes by us having two LuceneIndexProvider objects, both trying to migrate the lucene index. Which lead to the AssertionError as the write.lock file created by the first object should be deleted by the second one, which can't do that.
I've then changed slightly that very specific class to use JBoss workaround only when default loading mechanism do not return any class (seee commit here). This small change worked like a charm, so I think you can considered this issue as fixed.

how to fix Javax. Naming.exception: nameNotFoundException <my_JNDI_name> not found

I got this exception while trying to deploy ejb-jar file on a glassfish 2.1 :
Javax. Naming.exception: nameNotFoundException not found.
This drive me to be crazy !!!
I don't know why i got this exception while when i launch the hole application (ear) using Netbeans 6.7.1 with integrated glassfish 2.1 it work like magic !
But when i try to deploy it manually under another glassfish in an other pc it does not work
And i am having this exception when i try to deploy it
So i think that the ejb module does not find out how to link to the database
So it must be something that the netbeans do and i am not, when deploying the ejb-jar
Any help ?
I realise this is a bit old, but having just worked through this, I thought I may as well document it here.
For me the issue was the database connection. In your project you should have a persistence.xml file (mine was in the EJB project), which details the database connection parameters. I was using a localhost URL, but when I ran the database project, I noticed in my Services tab under Glassfish that no database connection was being registered.
Here's what I did:
Create a new database connection (right click in Services, Java DB node)
In Services, right click Java DB connection, Properties, check that the pool it's registered to is in the Glassfish JDBC Connection Pools and is the correct one, if not, make sure your database connection is correct, update persistence.xml
Clean the project before running again
This worked for me, hope it's helpful for someone else.

Connecting a remote JMS client to GlassFish 3

I am trying to connect to GlassFish 3's JMS service from a standalone remote client. However I am getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.messaging.jms.ra.ResourceAdapter. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Here's my setup so far:
Glassfish 3 JMS Service in LOCAL mode (I am assuming that EMBEDED mode will not work in this case because it bypasses the network stack)
JNDI properties are specified as follows:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming
java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl
gf-client-module.jar (in GLASSFISH_HOME/modules) added to the standalone application's classpath. Also tried adding other jars present in the modules directory (such as jms-core.jar), but still getting the same ClassNotFoundException.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Instead of using all of the individual Glassfish jar files that you might need (such as gf-client-module.jar, imqjmsra.jar, and imqbroker.jar), the preferred method is to use the gf-client.jar file. It can be found at $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib.
There is more information at http://glassfish.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB_FAQ.html#StandaloneRemoteEJB. That document pertains to using EJBs in standalone clients, but the solution is the same for using JMS.
Ok. I found a solution. See here for details, but the short answer is that I needed to add two jars to the classpath: imqjmsra.jar and imqbroker.jar. These were available inside a rar called imqjmsra.rar which can be found under glassfish's mq directory. I had to extract the two jars from this rar!
This is the complete list of client jars for glassfish 3 :
auto-depends.jar
deployment-common.jar
glassfish-corba-internal-api.jar
internal-api.jar
management-api.jar
bean-validator.jar
dol.jar
glassfish-corba-newtimer.jar
javax.ejb.jar
orb-connector.jar
common-util.jar
ejb-container.jar
glassfish-corba-omgapi.jar
javax.jms.jar
orb-iiop.jar
config-api.jar
ejb.security.jar
glassfish-corba-orb.jar
javax.resource.jar
security.jar
config-types.jar
glassfish-api.jar
glassfish-corba-orbgeneric.jar
javax.servlet.jar
ssl-impl.jar
config.jar
glassfish-corba-asm.jar
glassfish-naming.jar
javax.transaction.jar
transaction-internal-api.jar
connectors-internal-api.jar
glassfish-corba-codegen.jar
gmbal.jar
jta.jar
container-common.jar
glassfish-corba-csiv2-idl.jar
hk2-core.jar
kernel.jar
As mentioned in the Ivan A Krizsan's notes for the EJB certification, and depending on the Glassfish version, this should be enough:
GlassFish 3 (and GlassFish 4 too, I've just tested it): $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/gf-client.jar
GlassFish 2: $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/appserv-rt.jar and $APS_HOME/lib/javaee.jar

How to control glassfish module startup order

I have several web modules. There are dependency between them, say during startup, module B will use MBean exposed by module A. How to configure glassfish to enable it start them by specific order? Or is it possible to configure it to load them concurrently.
I searched quite a lot via google, but not result.
BTW, I'm using glassfish-2
This post indicates that initial deployment order defines the startup order. I have found (on Glassfish 3) that the order is stored in domain.xml so you can swap entries in there.
If they're part of the same EAR and you're willing to move to Java EE 6 and thus GlassFish 3, here's a solution for you : http://blogs.oracle.com/alexismp/entry/module_initialization_order_in_java
GF 3.1 seems to reset the order after editing the domain.xml.

Servlet Exception + Class Cast Exception + Glassfish + Netbeans + JPA Entities + Vaadin

I get this error:
StandardWrapperValve[Vaadin Servlet]: PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet Vaadin Servlet threw exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.delhi.entities.Category cannot be cast to com.delhi.entities.Category
when I try to run my webapps on glassfish v2.
Category is a JPA entity object
the offending code according to the server log is:
for (Category c : categories) {
mymethod();
}
categories is derived from:
List<Category> categories = q.getResultList();
Any idea what went wrong?
This is a class loader issue. If a class is loaded by different class loaders, it's objects cannot be assigned to each other. You have probably passed an object from one WAR into another one. There are several options to resolve this:
Put all your code into a single WAR.
Use some form of remoting between your WARs. Serialization takes care of the class loader problem.
Try putting all you WARs into a single EAR. If that doesn't work, put all code into JARs that are on the EAR's Classpath in the MANIFEST.MF.
I once had the same problem and the environment I had was following:
I had Glassfish v4
Netbeans with following projects
webpage war project containing entities
and ear project with that webpage war project
The problem was that in war's project settings I had checked [x] Run>Deploy on save. This was causing deploying war project everyime I hit save. It was sometimes leading to PermGen (memory) problems and unability to deploy EAR correctly (because e.g. in between undeploying and deploying EAR - this "crazy" Netbeans was deploying this war).
Solution: If Netbeans && using EAR, then uncheck deploy on save in project properties.
EDIT:
it seems that this error is connected with
SEVERE: The web application [/faces] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.glassfish.pfl.dynamic.codegen.impl.CurrentClassLoader$1] (value [org.glassfish.pfl.dynamic.codegen.impl.CurrentClassLoader$1#249ea63a]) and a value of type [org.glassfish.web.loader.WebappClassLoader] (value [WebappClassLoader (delegate=true; repositories=WEB-INF/classes/)]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.
I've had same problem today. Solution was closing EntityManagerFactory after use.

I'm experiencing this problem too with Glassfish v2 and Glassfish v3.
Can I ask you a question: Are you attempting to initialize any persistence object when the application is deployed (through a servlet loaded on startup or a context listener)?
Like bguiz, I've noticed this problem only happens on redeploy. A new deploy to a freshly restarted Glassfish server, never has this problem.
Like FelixM mentioned, I'm convinced this is a class loader issue, however I don't believe it's an issue with multiple wars (I only have 1 deployed to my server). In Glassfish 3, I can see that my WAR is utilizing 2 Glassfish "engines". One for the web(war) and one for the jpa. From what I understand, these are different containers each with their own classloader. I'm guessing Glassfish v2 works in the same manner.
I'm using Spring and (re)initialize some persistence objects on (re)deploy. What I'm thinking, is that while the web engine is reinitializing the war, the jpa engine is still using the old class definitions. Often if I retry the redeploy after this initial failure, it may succeed (sometimes it may take more than one retry but eventually I can get it to succeed without a restart - having better success with Glassfish v3 than v2).
At this point I'm thinking that either these two classloaders are out of sync or there is some sort of race condition on redeploy allowing this operation to sometimes succeed. I've tried to force the classloader, writing code like this
HashMap<Object, Object> properties = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
properties.put(PersistenceUnitProperties.CLASSLOADER, this.getClass().getClassLoader());
entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(jpaContext, properties);
but it didn't seem to have any affect.
I'm also wondering if eliminating the initialization at startup could fix the problem, giving the appserver time to resynchronize both engines before using any jpa classes (which is why I asked my follow up question).
My observation is that it only happens when using a hot redeploy or a static redeploy. This only applies, of course, if you get a class cast exception where both the to and from classes are the same.
Workarounds:
Don't use undeploy and deploy instead of redeploy
Restart app server
Remove static members of the affected classes
Use a remote interface (serialization makes this go away)
IMO I think the class loader was unable to reload the class and the old version was reused, resulting in the error.
This article doesn't talk about this error directly, but it is good background info on how the class loader works.
