Hi there,
I'm trying to make a JSF app call a remote EJB. This EJB is in the same JBoss AS 6.1 instance but was deployed as a standalone EJB-JAR. I wish I could use @Inject or @EJB to inject the remote EJB proxy into the managed bean, but it isn't working.
Here's the remote interface
package exemplo;
@Remote
public interface ClienteDAO
{
List<String> listaCidades();
}
And the EJB
package exemplo;
@Stateless
public class ClienteEJB implements ClienteDAO
{
// no other annotations
You see, plain defaults. I can see from jmx-console my EJB is deployed and bound to ClienteEJB/remote on the global JNDI namespace. JBoss logs also show everything is fine when deploying the EJB-JAR file:
18:57:16,905 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.impl.jndiregistrar.JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:
ClienteEJB/remote - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface
ClienteEJB/remote-exemplo.ClienteDAO - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface
Now here's the managed bean:
package exemplo;
@Named("clientes")
@RequestScoped
public class ConsultaClientes implements java.io.Serializable {
@EJB
private ClienteDAO dao;
// no other annotations
When I deploy the WAR containing this, JBoss logs show the error:
18:51:39,619 ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Real: name=vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war state=PreReal mode=Manual requiredState=Real: org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war

I tried adding attribute mappedName to the @EJB annotation. But jboss logs show:
18:53:46,011 WARN [org.jboss.deployment.MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer] Unresolved references exist in JBossWebMetaData:[#web-app:AnnotatedEJBReferenceMetaData{name=exemplo.ConsultaClientes/dao,ejb-ref-type=null,link=null,ignore-dependecy=false,mapped/jndi-name=ClienteEJB/remote,resolved-jndi-name=null,beanInterface=interface exemplo.ClienteDAO}]

And when I try to run the web app I get the error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not resolve reference [EJB Reference: beanInterface 'exemplo.ClienteDAO', beanName '', mappedName 'null'] in AbstractVFSDeploymentContext@1131335075{vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war}

I also tried providing a jboss-web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>env/exemplo.ConsultaClientes/dao</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>ClienteEJB/remote</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
</jboss-web>
But it also doesn't work. I get the error on jboss logs:
18:58:48,735 ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Real: name=vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war state=PreReal mode=Manual requiredState=Real: org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfs:///home/lozano/cursos/labs-jbossas6-adm/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/clientes.war

I tried other @EJB attributes but nothing seem to work. The only way I found to make this work so far was explicit looking for my EJB:
@Named("clientes")
@RequestScoped
public class ConsultaClientes implements java.io.Serializable {
private ClienteDAO dao;
@PostConstruct
public void inicializa() throws NamingException {
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
dao = (ClienteDAO)ctx.lookup("ClienteEJB/remote");
}
So, is there a way to make @EJB work to inject a Remote EJB (from the same JBoss AS 6.1 instance) deployed as a stand-aline EJB-JAR into a Managed Bean inside it's own WAR, without packaging both as part of the same EAR?
