Package examples.ejb20.basic.containerManaged Description

This example is a package that demonstrates an Enterprise JavaBean written to the EJB 2.0 specification. The example is an entity EJBean called AccountBean.

The example demonstrates:

Before Running the EJB 2.0 Examples

Before you can build and run the EJB 2.0 examples, you must first download the WebLogic Server 6.0 supplement, ejb20.jar, from the BEA product download page. This allows you to use the Enterprise JavaBeans features in the WebLogic Server 6.0 environment. Until you install the ejb20.jar file, you will be unable to build and run the EJB 2.0 examples.

Pre-Built Examples

The EJB 2.0 examples included in the WebLogic Server 6.0 distribution are not shipped pre-built. To run these examples, you must first download ejb20.jar and then build the example following the specific examples instructions.

Client application

The Client application performs these steps:
  1. Finds or creates 20 separate accounts
  2. Displays the balance for each account
  3. Finds all accounts with balances over $5000
  4. Finds the first account with a balance of zero
  5. Finds any accounts with a null type
  6. Removes all accounts

To get the most out of this example, first read through the source code files.

Start with the XML deployment files ejb-jar.xml, weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml to find the general structure of the EJBean, which classes are used for the different objects and interfaces, then look at Client code to see how the application works.

You'll need to set up the persistent storage of the EJBean. You'll use a database for the persistent storage of the entity EJBean. Each instance of an EJBean is written to a row in a table. The table (ejbAccounts) must be created and exist in the database before the example is run.

If you are using the evaluation copy of Cloudscape that is included with WebLogic Server, this table has already been created in the "demo" database. If you're using a database other than Cloudscape, you'll need to create the table in your database using an appropriate SQL statement such as

"create table ejbAccounts (id varchar(15), bal float, type varchar(15))"

Note that the persistent storage is completely invisible to the client; the actual storage is handled automatically by the container and not by the EJBean. All database properties, such as the login name and password, are defined in the connection pool. A preconfigured connection pool is included in the example server.

These three sections cover what to do:

  1. Build the example
  2. Configure the server
  3. Run the example

Build the example

Set up your development shell as described in Setting up your environment.

We provide separate build scripts for Windows NT and UNIX:

These scripts will build the example and place the files in the correct locations in your WebLogic Server distribution:

Running the build script places the EJB in /config/examples/applications, where it automatically deploys once the server is started. If you are already running the server and build another EJB, it is automatically placed in this directory and instantly deployed.

Additional information on using the build scripts is found in Building Enterprise JavaBean examples

Configure the server

  1. Start the WebLogic Server.

  2. Start the Administration Console.

  3. Click to expand the Deployments node in the left pane and select EJB Deployments.

    A list of deployed EJBs displays.

  4. Choose the appropriate deployment unit from the list.

  5. Select the Target tab in the right pane.

  6. Verify that the examplesServer is chooosen as the target for the EJB.

  7. Setup a connection pool in the Administration Console .

    For your convenience, a sample connection pool, called demoPool is included with this example. You can use this connection pool with any of the EJB examples.

    You'll need to:

    In this example, the fileRealm for the access control list (ACL) is preconfigured to allow access for everyone.

    If you need more information about how to use connection pools, read Using WebLogic JDBC: Using connection pools.

Run the example

  1. Run the client in a separate command line window. Set up your client as described in Setting up your environment, and then run the client by entering:
    $ java examples.ejb20.basic.containerManaged.Client

    If you're not running the WebLogic Server with its default settings, you will have to run the client using:

    $ java examples.ejb20.basic.containerManaged.Client "t3://WebLogicURL:Port"

    where:

    WebLogicURL
    Domain address of the WebLogic Server
    Port
    Port that is listening for connections (weblogic.system.ListenPort)

  2. You should receive output similar to this:
