[Guest]

Why does YLocal yl = (YLocal) sctx.lookup("XYSessionBean") not work? Is it because the bean implements 2 interfaces?

[admin]

This is not valid because -
1. No-interface view is provided only if the bean class does not provide any other view. Or if it provide other views, it also contains @LocalBean annotation. Therefore, the bean code given in the question does not provide a no-interface view.
2. Even if the no-interface view were available in this bean, the name used here to look it up is not right. It should follow rules given in Section 4.4.
3. When interacting with a reference to the no-interface view, the client must not make any assumptions regarding the internal implementation of the reference, such as any instance-specific state that may be present in the reference. Thus, it would not be appropriate to assume that the looked up bean implements YLocal.

In the explanation you specify as follows
//Does not work
//YLocal yl = (YLocal) sctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/XYSessionBean");

Can you please explain me why this won't work? Is it because the Bean name is not specified or something?

Thanks,
Prakash Yaji

[admin]

Because the java:comp space contains the objects that are injected into the component (either using annotation or deployment descriptor). Here, we are not injecting any reference.

YLocal yl = (YLocal) sctx.getBusinessObject(YLocal.class); do we have to always put cast operator ? or is it optional ?

[admin]

It's optional.

How can a bean declare 2 local interfaces?

[admin]

By using the implements clause - ... implements I1 , I2.

[n4noman]

I was talking about this specific question, where it says:

Code: Select all

@Stateful @Local({XLocal.class, YLocal.class}) 
public class XYSessionBean implements XLocal, YLocal {

Is it allowed to declare more than one interface via @Local or @Remote annotation?

[admin]

Yes, it is possible.

The case of the bean name in the first answer is incorrect.

(YLocal) sctx.lookup("java:global/EJBD-ToyApp/EJBD-ToyApp-ejb/XYSessionbean!YLocal");

Please change XYSessionbean to XYSessionBean, so the answer would be 100% correct.

"YLocal yl = (YLocal) sctx.lookup("YLocal");"
I suppose this option is not correct because of the name String. What String would be correct?

[peter.varga]

Please, someone answer my question!

[admin]

Yes, the name is incorrect. The correct string is already given in option 1: "java:global/EJBD-ToyApp/EJBD-ToyApp-ejb/XYSessionbean!YLocal"
You should also go through section 4.4 of Global JNDI Access of EJB 3.1 for complete details.
