[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Invoke remote EJB3 from JVM 1.4 client

I managed to call remote EJB3 from a JVM 1.4 client. I would be glad to have some feedback on the way I dit it : is it safe? Should I open a JIRA to publish a patch? I use JBoss 4.0.3SP1 with EJB3 RC6. A JDK 1.5 is needed for the EJB3. I need to remotely call some of these EJB from a client that runs on JDK 1.4. It doesn't work natively, because the jboss-ejb3.jar bundled with EJB3 RC6 is compiled with JDK 1.5. It gives errors on major/minor version. So I used JBossRetro (http://labs.jboss.com/jbossretro/) to convert this jar in jdk 1.4 compatible format. That gave me a jar that works in my jdk 1.4 client. I also needed to create a client jar for my EJBs, compiled with a 1.4 target. I had to include the EJB interfaces in it, but they don't compile by default because of the annotations @Local and/or @Remote, so I needed to remove these annotations when I compile the client jar. Thus, I can call my EJB 3 Session Stateless Beans. I need on my client : - the client jar for my EJBs, compiled as explained above - the generated jboss-ejb3-client14.jar - jbossretro-rt.jar - jboss-backport-concurrent.jar - javassist.jar I tested that on JBoss 4.0.3SP1+EJB3 RC6, with Session Stateless Beans only. I have a patch for the current version of ejb3/build.xml. I could not test the generated jar from this script, because I only use JBoss 4.0.3SP1 that doesn't support the latest version of EJB3 jars. I generated my jboss-ejb3-client14.jar with another ant script, that does this : - uncompress the file jboss-ejb3.jar bundled with EJB3 RC6 - delete all files that are not included in jboss-ejb3-client.jar (based on the list of current ejb3/build.xml) - run jbossretro on the classes, using the jboss 4.0.3SP1 libraries on the classpath - recompress the jar Should I create a JIRA for that ? I would be glad to have some feedback on all that. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4071870#...
