[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-9424) MDB's are started *BEFORE* EJB's are jndi-bound

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9424?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Bernard Ligny updated JBAS-9424: -------------------------------- Description: I recently noticed a very strange behaviour (with JBOSS AS 6) with Message-Driven-Beans where we inject EJB. If the JMS queue is empty when the jboss server is started, then everything works fine. If, no luck, the jms queue is *NOT* empty, my MDB is apparently mounted *BEFORE* the ejb's and the @Inject failed: => "Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class xxx" I further investigated the problem: I replaced the @Inject annotation, with a "manual" lookup of my ejb using the javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager capabilities (that i put in a @Postcontruct method of my MDB), The trick consisted in trying the lookup n times with a delay of x sec between each attempt. Here are the results (excerpt from server.log): {code:xml} 2011-07-28 12:05:06,180 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [1] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:06,190 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [1] Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class net.haulogy.energycomm.kernel.org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id="vfs:$$$Users$bli$Devware$jboss-6$0$0$Dev$server$default$deploy$energycomm-ear$ear"-SessionBean-KernelResources_$$_WeldProxy ... 2011-07-28 12:05:11,191 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [2] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:11,192 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [2] Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class net.haulogy.energycomm.kernel.org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id="vfs:$$$Users$bli$Devware$jboss-6$0$0$Dev$server$default$deploy$energycomm-ear$ear"-SessionBean-KernelResources_$$_WeldProxy ... 2011-07-28 12:05:16,193 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [3] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:16,193 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [3] Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class net.haulogy.energycomm.kernel.org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id="vfs:$$$Users$bli$Devware$jboss-6$0$0$Dev$server$default$deploy$energycomm-ear$ear"-SessionBean-KernelResources_$$_WeldProxy ... 2011-07-28 12:05:21,194 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [4] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:21,194 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [4] Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class net.haulogy.energycomm.kernel.org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id="vfs:$$$Users$bli$Devware$jboss-6$0$0$Dev$server$default$deploy$energycomm-ear$ear"-SessionBean-KernelResources_$$_WeldProxy ... 2011-07-28 12:05:26,195 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [5] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:26,195 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [5] Failure WELD-000079 Could not find the EJB in JNDI: class net.haulogy.energycomm.kernel.org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id="vfs:$$$Users$bli$Devware$jboss-6$0$0$Dev$server$default$deploy$energycomm-ear$ear"-SessionBean-KernelResources_$$_WeldProxy ... 2011-07-28 12:05:26,215 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.nointerface.impl.jndi.AbstractNoInterfaceViewBinder] (Thread-3) Binding the following entry in Global JNDI for bean:KernelResources => finally the EJB is bound ! 2011-07-28 12:05:31,196 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** [6] Trying to lookup KernelResources 2011-07-28 12:05:31,197 INFO [STDOUT] (Thread-0 (group:HornetQ-client-global-threads-183899831)) *** KernelResources = No-Interface view for endpoint [ jboss.j2ee:ear=energycomm-ear.ear,jar=energycomm-kernel-0.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar,name=KernelResources,service=EJB3 ] => the 6th attempt now works :-) {code} Conclusion: according to me, there is no doubt: dependencies between MDB's and EJB's are not correctly managed by the app server.
