[Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: EJB3 enterprise module?

by camunda

Damn, it seems that linking a Timer to an EJB3 Entity seems not to be possible like in EJB 2.1 (regarding https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-886). Or if anybody has an idea I would be delighted.

[Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - Re: How to reliably determine if BeanMetaData contains depen

by kabir.khan＠jboss.com

That is exactly what I had and which does not work, see my first post... Reorganising the code a bit | private void getDependencies(ArrayList<ValueMetaData> dependencies, MetaDataVisitorNode node) | { | if (node instanceof AbstractDependencyValueMetaData) | { | dependencies.add((AbstractDependencyValueMetaData)node); | } | | Iterator<? extends MetaDataVisitorNode> children = node.getChildren(); | | if (children != null) | { | while (children.hasNext()) | { | MetaDataVisitorNode child = children.next(); | getDependencies(dependencies, child); | } | } | } | 1) getDependencies() gets called with an AbstractBeanMetaData, this finds a child and calls getDependencies() 2) getDependencies() gets called with an AbstractPropertyMetaData (child of 1), this finds a child and calls getDependencies() 3) getDependencies() gets called with an AbstractValueMetaData (child of 2), this finds a child and calls getDepedencies() 4) getDependencies() gets called with a PropertyMap (child of 3), this finds a child and calls getDepedencies() 5) getDependencies() gets called with a PropertyMap$ValueInfo (child of 4), this has no children and the loop returns Looking at the PropertyMap$ValueInfo, it contains the AbstractInjectionValueMetaData I want, but no way to get hold of it. From my debugger: | node PropertyMap$ValueInfo (id=113) | hashCode -2147483648 | log Logger (id=118) | name "dependency" (id=120) | toString SoftReference<T> (id=124) | value AbstractInjectionValueMetaData (id=126) | PropertyMap$ValueInfo seems wrong, replacing | public Iterator<? extends MetaDataVisitorNode> getChildren() | { | return value.getChildren(); | } | with | public Iterator<? extends MetaDataVisitorNode> getChildren() | { | return Collections.singletonList(value).iterator(); | } | I get this for 5) onwards: 5) getDependencies() gets called with a PropertyMap$ValueInfo (child of 4), this finds a child and calls getDepedencies() 6) getDependencies() is called with an AbstractInjectionValueMetaData and the dependency is picked out as expected. So either PropertyMap$ValueInfo.getChildren() needs to be fixed, or you need to come up with something else if that fix is not valid.

[Design of JBoss Transaction Services] - Re: 'public' API stability when embedded in JBossAS

by mark.little＠jboss.com

Anything that is within the internal package should not be covered by deprecation. It's in the docs and the support guys are aware of it. Anything public can change through normal deprecation rules. This works for other projects, so I'm not sure why we need to make special rules. XTS is different in that there is no standard API for it to conform to, but I assume it's still using the internal/mwlabs approach so the above still applies. The trouble with listing interfaces/classes is that it's fairly arbitrary. Do we take only what we use in the AS? What about when running stand-alone? What about JTS or any of the extensions we have to the various standards? So I'd prefer that we stick with the .internal. and use the deprecation rules (which don't prevent changes that are incompatible with previous releases, but in a controlled manner.)

You're doing it wrong. ;-) This is all you need: | void doVisit(MetaDataVisitorNode node) | { | // check node | someNodeCheck(node); | | Iterator<? extends MetaDataVisitorNode> children = node.getChildren(); | if (children != null) | { | while(children.hasNext()) | { | doVisit(children.next()); | } | } | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4209051#4209051 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4209051

[Design of the JBoss EJB Container] - JBoss 5 EJB Container JNDI question

by deruelle_jean

Hi, We are currently porting our implementation of Sip Servlets (see http://www.mobicents.org/products_sip_servlets.html) on top of JBoss 5 (currently working on Tomcat and Jboss AS 4.2.3). Our source code for the port is currently available from http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/source/browse/trunk/servers/sip-servle... (svn browsing) The Sip Servlets spec mandates that for converged containers, a SipFactory would appear as java:/comp/env/sip///SipFactory (where appname is the name of the sip servlets application deployed similarly to a web applciation) in the JNDI mapping or injected as an @Resource annotation. This annotation can be used in any SIP Servlet or a JEE application component deployed on the converged container in the same EAR archive file. The SipFactory is an interface for a variety of SIP Servlet API abstractions, which could allow an EJB to initiate a sip call by example. In an EAR, we could have many Sip Servlets Applications, so we would need when deploying the sip applications (Tomcat Contexts) to be able to access the private naming context (java:/comp/env/) of the JEE components in the EAR file (EJB, webservices, mdb, ...) to inject the SipFactory of each app bundled within the EAR. I was currently able to do it quite easily (see http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/source/browse/trunk/servers/sip-servle...) But I want to be 100% this will work in all cases so here is my questions : Can I be 100% sure that the EJB Containers will always be deployed before the web applications ? On what is based the deploy ordering of components within an EAR ? To detect that a deployment unit has JEE componenst I check if it has an Ejb3Deployment attached to its deployment unit (see http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/source/browse/trunk/servers/sip-servle...), may I miss some other JEE components this way ? Thanks in advance Best regards Jean Deruelle, JBoss, a division of Red Hat View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4209049#4209049 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4209049
