This is my first question in Stack Overflow so I expect it will not be too much simple. I've been looking around Internet for a good solution but by now I don't have it.
I am a very begginer to EJB, JNDI and Java EE world in general, but on the last months I've been able to do some acceptable things in this environment. Now I am focusing a problem at work and by now the solution is not as good as I would like.
The scenario is this: I have a EAR application running in Glassfih 3.1.2. I have declared EJBs within this EAR app with stateless beans offering methods through a remote Interface.
This is my Remote Bean running in a server called server1, for example
package com.booreg;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import com.booreg.IMyRemoteBean;
@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class MyRemoteBean implements IMyRemoteBean
{
@Override
public String helloWorld()
{
return "Hi what's up boy";
}
}
This is the interface for it
package com.booreg;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface IMyRemoteBean
{
public String helloWorld();
}
Then I have a second EAR app that must run imperatively on another server, called server2. The second APP is using JSF and Managed Beans. We have a Managed Bean acting as a remote client of MyRemoteBeanRemote, as this:
package com.nucleus;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
import com.booreg.IMyRemoteBean;
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class MyManagedBean
{
@EJB( name="TheRef") IMyRemoteBean myRemoteBean;
public String getPhrase() { return myRemoteBean.helloWorld(); }
}
I've arrived to the point that this works declaring an ejb-ref inside WEB-INF/sun-web.xml file in my web project.
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>TheRef</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>corbaname:iiop:server1:3700#java:global/booreg/booreg.ejb/MyRemoteBean!com.booreg.IMyRemoteBean</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
I understand that with this sun-web.xml file the jndi-name makes the second app to know where to locate the ejb implementation located at first app. But here I have some questions:
- It's necessary to declare one ejb-ref entry for each EJB interface I have in my project ?
- How can I avoid making a static reference to server/port (server1:3700 during development) inside sun-web.xml ? When this will go into production I will have to change manually the sever name for each ?? This sounds bizarre. Can I use some kind of variable at server side to specify server/port ?
I expect I have explained myself well enough.
Many thanks
Update: finally, thanks to this link I see that is possible to make references to the ejb server (server1) creating a jndi.properties file inside my classpath. This file should contain lines like this.
java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming
java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=server1
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700
But I am still facing problems. When deploying the application appear the next exception at server1 an I can't deploy the application.

Anybody has any idea ?
