I am pretty new to seam framework but have 3 years experience with previous versions of EJB. Our project is using seam to generate codes for a web application to access backend database. It works pretty good. However, I have the need to access the same database in standalone Java applications outside of Jboss virtual machine. When I looked at the seam-generated code, I am lost and need help. First how to look up session bean in my Java application? I can not find the ejb-jar.xml so I do not know what is the jndi name used for the generated beans. Second, I do not know how to call those generated beans. For example, I have a table called Host in a test database, the table is simple with id, hostname, and connect_time. Use seam setup, seam new-project, seam generate-entities, and seam explode, seam framework did almost everything for me. It generates two java files in the action folder. Here is the code: in HostList.java @Name("hostList") | public class HostList extends EntityQuery { | | private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = {"lower(host.hostname) like concat(lower(#{hostList.host.hostname}),'%')",}; | | private Host host = new Host(); | | @Override | public String getEjbql() { | return "select host from Host host"; | } | | @Override | public Integer getMaxResults() { | return 25; | } | | public Host getHost() { | return host; | } | | @Override | public List<String> getRestrictions() { | return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS); | } | | } in HostHome.java @Name("hostHome") | public class HostHome extends EntityHome<Host> { | | public void setHostId(Integer id) { | setId(id); | } | | public Integer getHostId() { | return (Integer) getId(); | } | | @Override | protected Host createInstance() { | Host host = new Host(); | return host; | } | | public void wire() { | } | | public boolean isWired() { | return true; | } | | public Host getDefinedInstance() { | return isIdDefined() ? getInstance() : null; | } | | } By looking at the code, I am lost at how I should call the bean to make select, update, delete, and insert operations. Would anyone give me some help or point me to some documents or tutorials? Thanks a lot. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4063530#...
