Getting Started with Simple Remote EJB 3.X Server Sample

This sample will give you a simple working experience with EJB client server . here I’m using netbeans as IDE and JBoss 5.1 as my EJB Container. and I created seperate client for Stateful an Stateless EJB sessions  in order to make easy the development .We'll create a ejb module project named EJBTestServer.

1. In NetBeans IDE, select ,File > New Project Select project type under category,Java EE, Project type as Ejb Module. Click Next > button. Enter project name as EJBTestServer and location. Click Next > button.

 

Select Server as JBoss Application Server. Click Finish button.

above step will give the simple skeleton for the ejb project. our next step is to add the beans to ejb so lets create a Session Bean.

Create a sample EJB

To create a simple EJB, we'll use NetBeans "New" wizard. In example below, We'll create a stateless ejb class named NewSessionBean under EJBTestServer  project. Select project EJBTestServer in project explorer window and right click on it. Select, New > Session Bean.

Enter session bean name and package name. Click Finish button. You'll see the following ejb classes created by NetBeans.

• NewSessionBean - stateless session bean
• NewSessionBeanLocal - local interface for session bean

I am changing local interface to remote interface as we're going to access our ejb in a console based application. Remote/Local interface are used to expose business methods that an ejb has to implement.

NewSessionBeanLocal is renamed to NewSessionBeanRemote and NewSessionBean implements NewSessionBeanRemote interface.

 NewSessionBeanRemote.java

package org1;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

/**
 *
 * @author rajjaz
 */
@Remote
public interface NewSessionBeanRemote {
    public String display();
    public String sayHello(String name);
}

NewSessionBean.java

package org1;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

/**
 *
 * @author rajjaz
 */
@Stateless
public class NewSessionBean implements NewSessionBeanRemote {

    // Add business logic below. (Right-click in editor and choose
    // "Insert Code > Add Business Method")
        public String display(){
        return "Hello JBoss";
    }
    public String sayHello(String name){
        this.count++;
        return "Hello " + name;
    }
}

Do the above way to create the bean for the Stateful Session also

• NewStatefulSessionBean - stateful session bean
• NewStatefulSessionBeanRemote - local interface for session bean

 NewStatefulSessionBeanRemote.java

package org1;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

/**
 *
 * @author rajjaz
 */
@Remote
public interface NewStatefulSessionBeanRemote {
        void increment();

    void decrement();

    int getCount();
}

NewStatefulSessionBean.java

package org1;

import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;

/**
 *
 * @author rajjaz
 */
@Stateful
@Remote(NewStatefulSessionBeanRemote.class)
public class NewStatefulSessionBean implements NewStatefulSessionBeanRemote {

    // Add business logic below. (Right-click in editor and choose
    // "Insert Code > Add Business Method")
    
    
    private int count = 0;

    @Override
    public void increment() {
        this.count++;
    }

    @Override
    public void decrement() {
        this.count--;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return this.count;
    }
}

Now Right Click on project and click on Clean and Build then you will get the below output

ant -f /home/rajjaz/NetBeansProjects/EJBTestServer -Dnb.internal.action.name=rebuild clean dist
init:
undeploy-clean:
deps-clean:

Building jar: /home/rajjaz/NetBeansProjects/EJBTestServer/dist/EJBTestServer.jar
dist:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

next to that deply the project. if project was successfully deployed you will get the below output

14:33:30,677 INFO  [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org1.NewSessionBean ejbName: NewSessionBean
14:33:30,680 INFO  [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:

14:33:38,933 WARN  [InterceptorsFactory] EJBTHREE-1246: Do not use InterceptorsFactory with a ManagedObjectAdvisor, InterceptorRegistry should be used via the bean container

That's all now our project was successfully deployed on Jboss Server our next step step is create simple client to test this server
