Hi Mark,
Sharing documentation would be fantastic. We highly appreciate since it
is one of the critical parts in every open source project. If we can
create an EJB sample application with Eclipse/Geronimo plug in with some
screen prints would be ideal :-) .
More documentation we get that would be more helpful for the new comers
of the project since it would always open different perspective on user
problems.
Use following link to register with Confluence.

Hernan might be able to help you if I am missing something in
documentation.
Thanks,
Lasantha Ranaweera

Got it on my own finally after four days of effort! I needed the
appropriate geronimo-web.xml syntax and info for the <ejb-ref>. I also
needed a dependency for the EJB module in the WAR environment.
I enjoy learning this and appreciate the amount of flexibility offered,
but this really needs defined a whole lot better for developers to
actually use the product. It's taken me two weeks of learning curve to
deploy a simple stateless session EJB and manage to call it from a
remote a client and a JSP on the same server. I'd hate to be
justifying that to a Project Manager. Granted, the first time I did
this in WebSphere 4 and Visual Age for Java and an AS400, it took six
weeks and we had better documentation and support. Most of this effort
involves deployment descriptor learning whose information appears rather
distibuted at this time.
I've documented my learning curve and am willing to share, along with
doing screen shots to guide others through the learning curve of basic
JEE Eclipse and Geronimo development.
Does someone monitoring this list work on project documentation and
willing to tutor me on putting together a tutorial on building apps in
Eclipse and deploying them on Geronimo for the documentation section?
I'm using MyEclipse right now, but plan on playing with the geronimo
eclipse plug-in and WTP/JST.

Subject: Web App Servlet calling EJB

Hello Everyone,
After a good peice of information last week, I was able to get my stand
alone application call to a remote HelloWorld Session EJB. Thanks to
Richard Carragher, Jr for defining the required client libraries. I'm
documenting my learning experence, and that has definetly made it into
my outline.
I'm now attempting to make the same call from a JSP. I have a few
questions that I would appreciate someone clarifying for me.
1. I presume that in the absence of an EAR definition, that a
Servlet/JSP call to the EJB is still considered to be "Remote". I
should use the same JNDI context lookup and will require the same
library jars in the WAR that were needed for the stand alone client.
Is this correct? If not, then how should I accomplish it?
2. Do I need to define the ejb-ref or ejb-local-ref in the web.xml to
acess the EJB in this manner? I've attempted this and keep getting a
"Could not find an EJB reference..." error mesage with more info about
not finding my EJB classes from the deployer. I've been over the EJB
deployments in the ejb.xml and the openejb-jar.xml, as well as the
web.xml and the geronimo-web.xml. I just need to find what I'm missing
in tying the WAR deploment to the EJB, and the code to the WAR
deployment.
Thanks all,
Mark Aufdencamp
