[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - "An SLSB doesn't have a home interface anymore" ?

[christophe.laumond]

Hi all,

I'm using Seam1.0.1GA with the JBoss AS 4.0.4GA provided with JEMSInstaller and for testing I'm using the testng-jdk15.jar provided with the TestNG Eclipse plugin.

I have found this article describing EJB 3.0 in general :
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2004/jw-0809-ejb-p2.html

Below the part this post is about :

anonymous wrote : 
  | An SLSB doesn't have a home interface anymore?in fact, no EJB type requires it. The bean class may or may not implement a business interface. If it does not implement any business interfaces, a business interface will be generated using all the public methods.

When I read that I think : "This is wonderful !"

I have generated DAO class using the Hibernate tools in Eclipse.

For example :

  | @Stateless
  | public class AccountantHome {
  | 
  | 	private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(AccountantHome.class);
  | 
  | 	@PersistenceContext
  | 	private EntityManager entityManager;
  | 
  | 	public void persist(Accountant transientInstance) {
  |                 ...
  | 	}
  | 
  | 	public void remove(Accountant persistentInstance) {
  |                 ...
  | 	}
  | 
  | 	public Accountant merge(Accountant detachedInstance) {
  |                 ...
  | 	}
  | 
  | 	public Accountant findById(long id) {
  |                 ...
  | 	}
  | }
  | 

So this generated class is perfect according to what it said in the article.

But when I deploy it I get :

anonymous wrote : 
  | bean class has no local, webservice, or remote interfaces defined and does not implement at least one business interface
  | 

I don't understand why this occure.
It fails in both JBoss AS and the Microcontainer + Embeddable EJB3 of TestNG.
I had to create an interface and add the annotation @Local to the interface in order to get a correct deploy.

Could you tell me what I have missed please ?
