Hello, everyone!
I'm migrating an application from Glassfish 3.0.1 to JBoss 6.0.0 Final. To expedite
the migration and avoid a rather hefty persistence layer refactor I'm using
EclipseLink 2.1.2 as the JPA provider. Needless to say the application works fine in
Glassfish. Anyway...
The application uses EJB 3.1 in a WAR (Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0), and JPA 2.0 persistence. I
have already defined the DataSources needed (included below).
I've almost got it running in JBoss 6. But I have a very strange issue regarding
transactions not being properly enlisted by the persistence manager (or, at least,
that's what it seems). I keep getting javax.ejb.EJBException:
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException
Here's the (pseudo) code description-stack-thing:
Initializer.contextInitialized() -> EJB1.init() <Transaction.REQUIRED> ->
EJB2.init() <Transaction.REQUIRES_NEW> -> EntityManager.createNamedQuery()
I've confirmed that the code invocation does get as far as the createNamedQuery() call
because of trace logging I put in place. The problem seems to be that EclipseLink is
complaining that it can't find a transaction which should obviously be there.
I've added the "eclipselink.transaction.join-existing" configuration to
EclipseLink, and produced no change. I've also turned up the logging in EL in an
attempt to determine where the problem is. Eclipselink is finding the correct data source
(I can see that from its logs) - it's joining the transaction it seems to be having
trouble with.
This is the datasource declaration in question:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?>
<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>MyDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>mydb</user-name>
<password>mydb</password>
<check-valid-connection-sql>select
1</check-valid-connection-sql>
<metadata>
<type-mapping>PostgreSQL 8.0</type-mapping>
</metadata>
<min-pool-size>8</min-pool-size>
<max-pool-size>32</max-pool-size>
<idle-timeout-minutes>30</idle-timeout-minutes>
<prefill>true</prefill>
</local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>
The JDBC driver jar is in the right place, the datasource is
shown as active in the admin console, etc.
I've not tested using an XA datasource because I'd just as soon avoid the overhead
if I can (since I don't need it). This is my persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0"
xmlns=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:jpa="

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="Persistence Core">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<jta-data-source>java:/MyDS</jta-data-source>
<shared-cache-mode>NONE</shared-cache-mode>
<properties>
<property name="eclipselink.logging.level"
value="ALL"/>
<property name="eclipselink.target-database"
value="PostgreSQL"/>
<property
name="eclipselink.weaving.changetracking" value="false"/>
<!-- BEGIN PROPERTIES NEEDED FOR JBOSS COMPATIBILITY -->
<property name="eclipselink.transaction.join-existing"
value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Maybe I'm missing something in jboss-web.xml? This is the one I'm using...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 3.0//EN" "
http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd
http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
As you can see, no funkyness there... maybe that's the problem?
The other problem I was having was that originally I was using a @Startup @Singleton bean
with a @PostConstruct method, and was getting exceptions regarding @PostConstruct being
called on a newly created bean. Thus, I switched to the WebListener-based startup model
that I'm currently using (which should work just the same anyway).
Thanks!
