EJB persistence not working

Question

I have a example EJB persistence with EJB module run on Jboss 5GA , JDK 6 . Default package have 3 file :

Book.java :

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="books")
public class Book implements Serializable{

   private int id;
   private String name;

   public Book(){        
   }

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   @Column(name="id")
   public int getId() {
      return id;
   }

   public void setId(int id) {
      this.id = id;
   }

   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }    
}

LibraryPersistentBean.java

import java.util.List;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;

@Stateless
public class LibraryPersistentBean implements LibraryPersistentBeanRemote {



   @PersistenceContext(unitName="EJBModule1PU")
   private EntityManager entityManager;         

   @Override
   public void addBook(Book book) {
      entityManager.persist(book);
   }    

   @Override
   public List<Book> getBooks() {
      return entityManager.createQuery("From books").getResultList();
   }
}

LibraryPersistentBeanRemote.java:

import java.util.List;
import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface LibraryPersistentBeanRemote {

   void addBook(Book bookName);

   List<Book> getBooks();

}

And configure files are persistence.xml and jboss-ds.xml that have lines of code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="EJBModule1PU" transaction-type="JTA">
    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
    <jta-data-source>java:/MysqlDS</jta-data-source>
    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
    <properties>
      <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
  <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>MysqlDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ejb_books?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</connection-url>

    <user-name>root</user-name>
    <password/>
    <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
    <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
    <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes>
  </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

Client's application consist of :

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;


public class JavaApplication1 {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException {

       try {
            Book b = new Book();
            b.setName("AI");

            Properties env = new Properties();
            env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
            env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
            env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");

            Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);

            LibraryPersistentBeanRemote libraryBean = (LibraryPersistentBeanRemote)ctx.lookup("LibraryPersistentBean/remote");

            libraryBean.addBook(b);
       } catch (NamingException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(JavaApplication1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
       }
   }

} 

and jboss-client.jar, EJB Module was imported

when run, errors were occured :

    ... 4 more

How to resolve these error ? thanks you so much !

Answer 1

"$JBOSS_HOME/jboss-as/client/jnp-client.jar" contains the missing class "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory" , The "jnp-client.jar" is referred internally using the MANIFEST.MF file "class-path" entry of the "$JBOSS_HOME/client/jbossall-client.jar" file.

So the JBoss Client code users/developers need to make sure that in order to avoid the "[Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory]" exception users must include the "$JBOSS_HOME/client/jbossall-client.jar" in client's classpath.
