I don't know about you, but I had all kind of strange errors working with long time broker lives...
Now, I'm working as in mnemonic code: public void xyzStore( XYZObject o ) { broker = getBroker(); try { broker.store( o ); } catch() { }finally { broker.close(); // this guarantees no mistakes... } } This guarantees that the broker object isn't spawned along threads... And my code works fine! Since the brokers are maintained in a pool, there is not pain in performance (AFAIK).

It was not answered, perhaps because of the holiday, or perhaps because no one else is doing what we are doing. We are running a servlet based application in Weblogic. I am using rc2 at the moment. As long as I obtain the broker in the main thread, there is no problem. But if I spawn a new thread and try to obtain the broker, I was getting obvious classpath problems - OJB.properties not found, and so forth. I explicitly placed the classpath info for the app in my Weblogic startup file (not good, but I will try anything right now). Doing this, it does find the OJB.properties file, but now I get another odd error : [BOOT] ERROR: The specified class "org.apache.ojb.broker.cache.ObjectCachePerBrokerImpl" does not implement the interface org.apache.ojb.broker.cache.ObjectCache, which is a requirement for the key "ObjectCacheClass". Using default class org.apache.ojb.broker.cache.ObjectCacheDefaultImpl java.lang.NullPointerException at dbtests.AccountUpdater.run(AccountUpdater.java:68) Has anybody ever encountered this error before? Obviously, something goes hideously wrong with the configuration of OJB once threads get into the picture, but what? And again, I do not have this problem as long as the code to obtain the broker is situated in the main thread. thanks, Bonnie MacKellar software engineer Mobius Management Systems, Inc.
