[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Error invoking ejbTimeout

[asookazian]

I'm using JBoss4.2.1.GA and Seam2.0.0.GA for a POC project here.

error:

Error invoking ejbTimeout: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempted to invoke a Seam component outside the an initialized application

Please refer to the following thread for details on this problem:

http://seamframework.org/Community/ErrorInvokingEjbTimeout

I need to know not only the root cause of this error but also how does JBoss create a timer and store that information so that it knows to execute a specified method on an interval basis.

When I deleted my JBoss extraction and re-extracted and deployed my app, the error went away until I ran the test case the first time after re-deployment.

Please point me to a JBoss internals doc or section in the timer service (chapter 18) of the EJB3 core spec to answer these questions.

The server.log output as well as source code for the session beans is listed in the original thread (see link above).

Also, I am seeing the following behavior after placing some breakpoints in the eclipse debugger.

so you see that the log output ("after map.put()") is not being writtern to the server.log.  Presumably it is not being executed.  The exception is being thrown after map.put(..) execs.

#schedule Quartz for every minute, value in milliseconds
activeDirectoryPollingInterval=600060

this is 10 min's although I'm going to change this to 1 min for testing purposes.

any help is appreciated as this is becoming a mystery to me.  not sure if how the vendor implementations handle this are enforced in the ejb3 spec...
