Same stateless bean in two ears - ejb

I have the same EJB module with a bean inside an EAR that is server side and an EAR that is the client side.
Can I have this situation?
Because I'm getting this error http://justpaste.it/gfs3
without understand how to fix it.

You have answer in the stack trace:
The short-form default binding 'com.demo.view.RitornaPersonaRemote'
is ambiguous because multiple beans implement the interface :
[RitornaPersonaSenzaClientEAR#RitornaPersonaSenzaClient.jar#RitornaPersona,
RitornaPersonaWebSenzaClientEAR#RitornaPersonaSenzaClient.jar#RitornaPersona].
Provide an interface specific binding or use the long-form default binding on lookup.]
If you are asking whether you may have same EJB jar in multiple project - the answer is yes you can. However during deployment you have to use long-form JNDI, provide different JNDI name for beans in other module or disable short names. You cannot register two beans under same name.
Long name would be in the form RitornaPersonaSenzaClientEAR#RitornaPersonaSenzaClient.jar#com.demo.view.RitornaPersonaRemote
See detailed info here - EJB 3.0 and EJB 3.1 application bindings overview
UPDATE
To disable short names perform the following steps:
Go to Application servers > server1 > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom properties
Define new custom property com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.disableShortDefaultBindings with value * to disable short bindings for all apps or AppName1|AppName2 to just disable short bindings in selected apps.
Example default bindings are shown in SystemOut.log:
The binding location is: ejblocal:JPADepEar/JPADepEJB.jar/TableTester#ejb.TableTester
The binding location is: ejblocal:ejb.TableTester
The binding location is: java:global/JPADepEar/JPADepEJB/TableTester!ejb.TableTester
And with disableShortDefaultBindings property set there is no short form:
The binding location is: ejblocal:JPADepEar/JPADepEJB.jar/TableTester#ejb.TableTester
The binding location is: java:global/JPADepEar/JPADepEJB/TableTester!ejb.TableTester
There is a bug in the documentation and the correct property is com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.disableShortDefaultBindings not com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.disableShortFormBinding

In my case:- i did install abc.ear and xyz.ear both ear was independent do dependency with each other.
I was calling abc.ear using client-lookup but that was giving me
com.ibm.websphere.naming.CannotInstantiateObjectException: Exception occurred while the JNDI NamingManager was processing a javax.naming.Reference object.
[Root exception is com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.AmbiguousEJBReferenceException: The short-form default binding
'com.ejb.abc' is ambiguous because multiple beans implement the interface :
[xyz-ear#rabc-ejb-1.0.jar#abcInrerfaceImpl, rabc-ear#rabc-ejb-1.0.jar
abcInrerfaceImpl]. Provide an interface specific binding or use the long-form default binding on lookup.]
my Solution was:-
i removed the abc.jar that was inside another application(xyz.ear)
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\wstemp\92668751\workspace\cells\mypc00Node01Cell\applications\xyz-ear.ear
'
Then solution client-lookup works fine.
To avoid this in future this is better practice to create separate node on your IBM-WAS server and install both application on different node.
So both application component will not mess up.

Why does WebSphere create duplicate EJB environment entries?

I specified a String resource in an EJB with the #Resource annotation. The EJB is packaged within an EJB module. The ejb.jar has an ejb-jar.xml which specifies a default value for the String resource. The ejb.jar is packaged in an ear archive together with a web module.
When the ear is deployed to WebSphere, the Environment entries for EJB modules section shows three EJB entries:
The String resource I mapped for the ejb module;
The String resource I mapped for the ejb module, only this time it is called EJB_fully_qualified_name/resource_name;
The same fully qualified name of the resource but now mapped for the web module.
Unless I provide a default value for all the variants above the resource is not injected. If I add an ejb-jar.xml to the web module, WebSphere displays four entries (one simple name and one fully qualified name of the resource per module). Is this a WebSphere quirk or am I doing something wrong? I am using WebSphere 8.5.5.3 in a cluster environment.
Here is the bean:
#Singleton
#Startup
public class ConfigSingleton {
#Resource
private String serviceLookup;
}
Here is the ejb-jar.xml:
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>ConfigSingleton</ejb-name>
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>serviceLookup</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>value</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
You have defined 2 completely different resources; either may be looked up.
Per the Java EE specifications, when you don't use the 'name' attribute of the #Resource annotation a default name is provided for you, which is the fully qualified class name where the annotation exists followed by the JavaBeans property name (which is basically either the name of the field, or the name of the method with 'set' removed and the next character in lowercase). The javadoc for the #Resource annotation is a little misleading as it just says the default is the field name; but does not clarify exactly what the field name is; it is in fact the class name followed by the field name, much like you would see if you printed out the java.lang.reflect.Field that would represent it.
When combining annotations and XML, the XML overrides the annotation only when the 'name' matches. In the sample provided, the names do not match, so you actually have 2 different resources.
If you want your <env-entry> in XML to override the #Resource annotation, so that you can inject a value, then you either need to change your annotation to look like this:
#Resource(name="serviceLookup")
Or change the <env-entry-name> to the fully qualified class name / serviceLookup.
Also, when the EJB module is included in a WAR modules things get a bit more complicated. Not the 'name' aspect, but where you can provide the value. In addition to providing a value in ejb-jar.xml, WebSphere also allows you to provide a value in ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml. However, when the EJB modules is in a WAR, then it may also be provided in ibm-web-bnd.xml... since all of the resources for all of the EJBs are visible in the java:comp/env name space for the entire WAR module. So, in the sample, you are getting two different names because of the defaults, and what appears to be two additional copies which are really just provided in case you want to override the values in ibm-web-bnd.xml.
I think what you're seeing here is the different JNDI namespaces:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/girgn/index.html
The resource value can be accessed from within the EJB module using the original name, but if it needs to be accessed from another module within the same application, it should give a JNDI path qualified by the module name, to ensure uniqueness (and traceability), and so on for other applications, and the global namespace.

AutoMapper and Quartz.Net server - missing type map configuration

I'm attempting to use AutoMapper within Jobs hosted by Quartz.Net server.
At service startup, I load all the mapping profiles, one of which has:
Mapper.CreateMap<Data.Models.ManufacturerAlias, Business.Models.ManufacturerAlias>();
In the Job, I call the Map<>, but I get the following error:
Exception: AutoMapper.AutoMapperMappingException: Missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping.
Mapping types:
ManufacturerAlias -> ManufacturerAlias
SmartBIM.Data.Models.ManufacturerAlias -> SmartBIM.Business.Models.ManufacturerAlias
Destination path:
ManufacturerAlias
Source value:
SmartBIM.Data.Models.ManufacturerAlias
Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid() is not giving me any exceptions.
Is this a threading issue - do I need to load the profiles at the Job.Execute()?
Thanks :)
Yes, it's threading issue. We had the similar. Static methods of AutoMapper are not thread-safe.

Weblogic Stateless Session methods invoked from different cluster member servers

My environment is Weblogic 10.3.5 on Solaris box. EJB is version 3 and there is anotation in the Bean class. Sorry for the confusion as the code is new to me and they also have deployment descriptor to generate ejb2 client code for another client to call, so it's not straigtforward.
I have a stateless session bean deployed to a cluster which has 2 server members say they are member1 and member2.
The session bean is deployed as clusterable as this is in the anotation:
homeIsClusterable = Constants.Bool.TRUE
This is how my Stand alone Java client lookup and call the EJB methods:
private void testBean(){
bean.methodA();
bean.methodB();
}
In the provider URL I ONLY specify the provider URL to ONE server member:
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://member1:7005");
env.lookup("remote#the.bean.qulified.remoteinterface")
The Jndi name above is using the "mapped name + qualified remote interface class name", the mapped name is defined in the anotation.
Now the problem is, I found out, bean.methodA() got invoked in member1, and methodB() got invoked on member2, I found this from the logs of each server member. So it's always like this, member1 log will only show debug information from methodA, and member2 will only show debug information from methodB.
So here is my conceptual question - is this possible at all ? Are the above 2 methods supposed to be called on member1 only ? I know it's possible when you lookup through home interface you could possibly get a bean from either server, but in this case the ejb3 lookup is not going through the home interface(like in ejb2 we get a home and then call create method) but directly getting a remote object.
This caused issue as our methodB has a dependancy on methodA(methodA is doing some cleanup job, and then method re-initialize the cache), we need to do this on each cluster member.
This is just extra info but please focus on the above question from a concept perspective.
From the documentation:
When home-is-clusterable is True, the EJB can be deployed from multiple WebLogic Servers in a cluster. Calls to the home stub are load-balanced between the servers on which this bean is deployed, and if a server hosting the bean is unreachable, the call automatically fails over to another server hosting the bean.
I believe this is the case even when you explicitly only connect to a single member. This has some pretty good info in the Replica-Aware Home section:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=101737&seqNum=8
It's more or less the whole point of clustering... a cluster appears as if it's a single server instance to a client.

ejb jndi lookup throws ClassCastexception only when invoked from IBM Message Broker

When i try to make a remote ejb jndi look up, IBM message Broker throws ClassCastexception for the factory object.
But the same code works fine for a normal local java application and junit.Why this problem occurs when called only from IBM WMB
Context context = new InitialContext(ejbJndiProperties);
Object factoryObj = context.lookup("SampleBeanTAFJ/remote");
return (SampleBeanRemote) factoryObj;
This is often called by loading parts of the interface in a different classloader to the implementation classes.
I would use the env var:
IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dibm.cl.verbose=*
Then restart the broker, this will dump classloading trace to stdout / console.txt which might give you some clues.
What are the exact classes involved in the error and what jars are they stored in? Deployed to the EG or referenced via a SHARED-CLASSES? The exact details determine which classloaders should be in use here.

Flash Builder Localhost works 100% Remote Host just shows title of Object for every entry

I have finally gotten my Flash Builder to look at my remote services but now I have a problem that my Remote information, which should be the same except for alot more entries, just displays each object with the title [object Object] I have had a look around and I see if I test the service out locally, it is working as it calls all the information under Response Name 'object and Response Value 'Object'
On my localhost configuration this shows the name which is inside my Object items. How can I fix this?
[object Object] is the result of the toString() method of Object. If you get this it probably means your custom object type is being returned as a generic object from the remote AMF service. A lot of things could be the cause of this. Here are a few to check:
1) Make sure that your custom object type is compiled into the app. IF the object is never used explicitly the Flex compiler will not put it in the final SWF. You can do this by creating a fake variable:
private var myUnusedObject : MyCustomObjectType;
Or, I believe, there is a compiler flag to force unused classes to be compiled into the SWF.
2) You may have to add a formal mapping on your server. This depends primarily on what server side tech you're using. In AS3 you add a RemoteAlias metadata to the class. In ColdFusion you use the alias tag on the cfcomponent tag. I believe in WerbORB.NET I had to add the mapping in an XML Config file [but it's been years since I've done that]. I assume alternate technologies use similar approaches.
3) Check case sensitivity on the path names for your server code and make sure that the aliases (mentioned in 2) match.
4) In ColdFusion AMF you have to make sure that your public properties and types match up. They must be in the same order in your AS3 class as they are in your remote CFC. The property types must match. String to String; Boolean to Boolean, etc... I assume other AMF implementations have similar restrictions.
