Chapter 23. Exercises for Chapter 5

Exercise 5.1: The Remote Component Interfaces

The example programs in Exercise 5.1 dive into some of the features of the home interface of an EJB, including the use of the remove( ) method. They also show you how to obtain and use various metadata available through an EJB’s API.

Start Up JBoss

If you already have JBoss running, there is no reason to restart it. Otherwise, start it up as instructed in the JBoss Installation and Configuration chapter at the beginning of this workbook.

Initialize the Database

The database should contain the 100 rows created by a successful execution of the test programs from Exercise 4.1.

Build and Deploy the Example Programs

Perform the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt or shell terminal and change to the ex05_1 directory created by the extraction process.

  2. Set the JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME environment variables to point to where your JDK and JBoss 4.0 are installed. Examples:

    Windows: C:workbookex05_1> set JAVA_HOME=C:jdk1.4.2 C:workbookex05_1> set JBOSS_HOME=C:jboss-4.0
    Unix: $ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.4.2 $ export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/jboss-4.0
  3. Add ant to your execution path.

    Windows: C:workbookex05_1> set PATH=..antin;%PATH%
    Unix: $ export PATH=../ant/bin:$PATH
  4. Perform the build by typing ant.

As in the last exercise, you will see titan.jar rebuilt, copied to the JBoss deploy directory, and redeployed by the application server.

Examine the JBoss-Specific Files

There are no new JBoss configuration files or components in this exercise.

Examine and Run the Client Applications

Two example programs illustrate the concepts explained in the EJB book:

Client_51a.java

Illustrates the use of the remove( ) method on the Cabin EJB home interface.

Client _51b.java

Illustrates the use of bean metadata methods.

The example code for Client_51a and Client_51b is pulled directly from the EJB book. There is no need to go into this code here because the EJB book already does a very good job of that.

Run Client_51a by invoking ant run.client_51a at the command prompt. Remember to set your JBOSS_HOME and PATH environment variables. Run Client_51b the same way: ant run.client_51b. The output of Client_51a should be exactly as described in the EJB book. The output of Client_51b is as follows:

C:workbookex05_1>ant run.client_51b
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

compile:

run.client_51b:
     [java] com.titan.cabin.CabinHomeRemote
     [java] com.titan.cabin.CabinRemote
     [java] java.lang.Integer
     [java] false
     [java] Master Suite

Note that if you try to run Client_51a more than once, an exception will tell you that the entity you’re attempting to remove does not exist.

[java] java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: Entity not found: primaryKey=30
