JNDI lookup for remote stateless bean (hello world)

Question

For two Java SE clients connecting to Glassfish on localhost, only the ACC client example , very similar to the Netbeans Creating and Running an Application Client on the GlassFish Server tutorial , connects. RemoteJNDI , which connects via CORBA, with explicit JNDI connection parameters, gets a NamingException . How can RemoteJNDI connect to Netbeans on localhost, lookup the bean correctly, and execute the bean?

RemoteJNDI is run from Glassfish appclient . Glassfish shows:

thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/HelloClient$ 
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/HelloClient$ /home/thufir/glassfish-4.1/glassfish/bin/asadmin list-applications
HelloEJB     <ejb>        
Command list-applications executed successfully.
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/HelloClient$ 

running ant clean;ant run on the ACC client example gives good output:

-run:
     [java] hello world

run:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 26 seconds
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/HelloClient$ 

(This also deploys HelloClient to Glassfish.)

however, trying to replicate that output with appclient and JNDI lookup results in NamingException: Lookup failed for 'hello.HelloBean' while the ACC client was able to lookup that bean through the ACC. Why can't RemoteJNDI lookup the bean? Stacktrace:

thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/HelloClient$ 

The ACC client code:

package helloclient;

import hello.HelloBeanRemote;
import javax.ejb.EJB;

public class Main {
    @EJB
    private static HelloBeanRemote helloBean;

    public static void main(String... args) {
        System.out.println(helloBean.Hi());
    }

}

The interface:

package hello;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface HelloBeanRemote {

    public String Hi();

    public String Bye();
}

The EJB:

package hello;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class HelloBean implements HelloBeanRemote {

    @Override
    public String Hi() {
        return "hello world";
    }

    @Override
    public String Bye() {
        return "goodbye";
    }

}

RemoteJNDI should explicitly have the same configuration which HelloClient , the ACC client , implicitly has. Why is the ACC client able to execute the bean, while , implicitly has. Why is the ACC client able to execute the bean, while RemoteJNDI` cannot?

Code for RemoteJNDI :

package net.bounceme.dur.jndi;

import hello.HelloBean;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;

public class RemoteJNDI {

    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(RemoteJNDI.class.getName());

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            log.info(ctx.getEnvironment().toString());
            HelloBean bean = (HelloBean) ctx.lookup("hello.HelloBean");
            log.info(bean.Hi());
        } catch (NamingException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(RemoteJNDI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }

}

Are the connection parameters correct for Glassfish running on localhost?

Answer 1

Use the Remote Interface Name for lookup via JNDI. Then use the PortableRemoteObject.narrow() method to cast it to your remote bean.

Object obj = ctx.lookup("HelloBeanRemote");
HelloBean bean = (HelloBean) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, HelloBean.class);
