New Features
Remote Server supports EJB invocations over HTTP
Having a hard time with those pesky firewalls? Our Remote Server now has it's own HTTP front end which supports a stripped-down version of HTTP specifically for supporting our EJB protocol. Remote invocations from EJB Clients can now be layered over HTTP and serviced by our standalone EJB Server.
Tomcat Integration supports Remote EJB Clients
No extra ports necesarry. Simply point your EJB client to the URL of the LoaderSerlvet and go! All HTTP requests to the LoaderServlet will be sent into the embedded OpenEJB container. Combine this with the Collapsed EAR approach to embedding OpenEJB and you get a single webapp containing it's own private EJBs and OpenEJB container which can now support it's own remote java clients as well as web browsers. Or combine this with traditional style of embedding OpenEJB into the root of Tomcat at a global level and turn your Tomcat server into a no holds-barred EJB server. If you want no remoting at all, simply remove the LoaderServet's serlvet-mapping and the door is closed.
Better command line support
OpenEJB and it's tools can now be executed via an executable jar. Simply 'java -jar openejb-core-1.0.jar
...
start'
...
and
...
the
...
server
...
will
...
start.
...
Or
...
'java
...
-jar
...
openejb-core-1.0.jar
...
deploy'
...
to
...
deploy
...
an
...
EJB
...
application.
...
This
...
makes
...
it
...
far
...
easier
...
to
...
use
...
OpenEJB
...
in
...
scripts
...
and
...
third
...
party
...
tools
...
like
...
IDEs.
...
You
...
can
...
even
...
add
...
your
...
own
...
custom
...
commands
...
to
...
the
...
command
...
line
...
via
...
any
...
class
...
with
...
a
...
static
...
main
...
method
...
and
...
a
...
properties
...
file
...
in
...
the
...
classpath
...
at
...
META-INF/org.openejb.cli/mycommand.
...
Xinet.d
...
style
...
protocol
...
configuration
...
Protocols
...
in
...
OpenEJB
...
are
...
a
...
pluggable,
...
snap-in,
...
style
...
concept.
...
Anything
...
that
...
consumes
...
data
...
on
...
a
...
socket
...
is
...
wrapped
...
with
...
a
...
standard
...
set
...
of
...
xinet.d
...
like
...
services
...
for
...
ip
...
and
...
port
...
management,
...
connection
...
pooling,
...
host-based
...
authorization
...
and
...
more.
...
Want
...
to
...
disable
...
a
...
protocol
...
and
...
prevent
...
it
...
from
...
starting?
...
Want
...
to
...
change
...
it's
...
port?
...
Want
...
to
...
limit
...
the
...
max
...
number
...
of
...
concurrent
...
connections
...
or
...
restrict
...
access
...
to
...
clients
...
on
...
specific
...
IP
...
addresses?
...
Just
...
crack
...
open
...
that
...
protocol's
...
properties
...
files
...
and
...
edit
...
away.

EJB
...
2.0
...
Local
...
interface
...
support
...
OpenEJB
...
now
...
has
...
support
...
for
...
EJB
...
2.0
...
Local
...
Interfaces.
...
This
...
is
...
very
...
nice
...
for
...
when
...
OpenEJB
...
is
...
combined
...
with
...
Tomcat
...
or
...
embedded
...
in
...
another
...
application
...
where
...
Remote
...
interfaces
...
are
...
not
...
always
...
needed.
...
See
...
the
...
"Moviefun"
...
example
...
in
...
the
...
source
...
or
...
binary
...
distributions
...
for
...
how
...
to
...
use
...
them.
...
Note
...
that
...
no
...
other
...
EJB
...
2.0
...
features
...
(such
...
as
...
CMP
...
2
...
or
...
MDBs)
...
are
...
supported
...
in
...
the
...
OpenEJB
...
1.x
...
codebase.
...
Collapsed
...
EAR
...
support
...
...
...
s
...
are
...
an
...
OpenEJB
...
invention
...
allowing
...
you
...
to
...
combine
...
your
...
ejbs
...
and
...
servlets
...
in
...
the
...
same
...
archive
...
and
...
classloader.
...
This
...
is
...
essentially
...
a
...
new
...
way
...
to
...
embed
...
OpenEJB
...
into
...
Tomcat
...
so
...
that
...
OpenEJB
...
and
...
your
...
EJBs
...
are
...
loaded
...
only
...
into
...
your
...
webapp.
...
Combine
...
this
...
with
...
an
...
embedded
...
database
...
and
...
you
...
have
...
a
...
complete
...
mini-J2EE
...
environment
...
that
...
can
...
be
...
hosted
...
in
...
your
...
Tomcat
...
webapp
...
space.
...
See
...
the
...
"Moviefun"
...
example
...
in
...
the
...
distribution
...
which
...
will
...
be
...
online
...

...
short

Unpacked
...
EJB
...
Jar
...
support
...
It
...
is
...
now
...
possible
...
to
...
deploy
...
and
...
run
...
EJB
...
apps
...
that
...
are
...
not
...
in
...
a
...
*.jar
...
archive.
...
For
...
example,
...
for
...
ejb
...
app
...
located
...
at:
...
/home/jsmith/myejbapp/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
...
Simply
...
add
...
a
...
Deployments
...
declaration
...
to
...
the
...
openejb.conf
...
like
...
the
...
following:
...
<Deployment dir="/home/jsmith/myejbapp"
...
/>
...
Auto
...
Deploy
...
for
...
Simple
...
Apps
...
In
...
OpenEJB
...
1.0
...
beta1,
...
the
...
use
...
of
...
openejb-jar.xml
...
is
...
not
...
required
...
for
...
ejb-jar.xml
...
files
...
that
...
do
...
not
...
contain
...
CMP
...
EntityBeans
...
or
...
ejbs
...
with
...
multiple
...
datasource
...
references.

Mac

OSX

Users
...
The
...
speed
...
of
...
the
...
Remote
...
Server
...
has
...
been
...
improved
...
tremendously
...
to
...
compensate
...
for
...
differing
...
default
...
parameters
...
for
...
TCP
...
Socket
...
creation
...
and
...
closing
...
in
...
the
...
Mac
...
OSX
...
Java
...
VM.
...
This
...
makes
...
sequential
...
calls
...
from
...
a
...
Remote
...
Client
...
to
...
the
...
Server
...
several
...
times
...
faster.

Upgrade Notes
CMP config change
In 0.9.2
...
and
...
before,
...
the
...
JDO
...
database
...
was
...
using
...
the
...
private
...
JNDI
...
namespace
...
of
...
the
...
very
...
first
...
CMP
...
accessed
...
to
...
grab
...
a
...
datasource
...
and
...
hold
...
onto
...
it
...
for
...
use
...
on
...
all
...
requests
...
into
...
the
...
CMP
...
container.
...
This
...
was
...
configured
...
with
...
something
...
like
...
this:
| Code Block | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| |
| =
| |||||||||
} <database name="Global_TX_Database" engine="instantdb"> <jndi name="java:comp/env/jdbc/basic/entityDatabase" /> <mapping href="conf/default.cmp_mapping.xml" /> </database> {code} |
This
...
was
...
just
...
wrong.
...
We've
...
switched
...
it
...
so
...
that
...
the
...
"jndi"
...
tag
...
of
...
a
...
Castor
...
database.xml
...
file
...
can
...
be
...
set
...
directly
...
to
...
the
...
global
...
JNDI
...
name
...
of
...
a
...
Connector
...
element
...
declared
...
in
...
an
...
openejb.conf
...
file.
| Code Block | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| |
| =
| |||||||||
} <database name="Global_TX_Database" engine="instantdb"> <jndi name="java:openejb/connector/Default JDBC Database" /> <mapping href="conf/default.cmp_mapping.xml" /> </database> {code} |
This
...
is
...
still
...
not
...
so
...
optimal
...
as
...
we
...
do
...
not
...
want
...
to
...
people
...
using
...
OpenEJB's
...
internal
...
jndi
...
and
...
encourage
...
people
...
to
...
become
...
dependent
...
on
...
it.
...
Newer
...
releases
...
of
...
Castor
...
allow
...
for
...
a
...
completely
...
programmatic
...
way
...
to
...
configure
...
a
...
JDO
...
database.
...
In
...
future
...
releases,
...
these
...
global
...
and
...
local
...
database
...
files
...
will
...
go
...
away
...
all
...
together!
...
You
...
will
...
only
...
need
...
to
...
specify
...
your
...
mapping.xml
...
and
...
will
...
be
...
able
...
to
...
pack
...
it
...
in
...
your
...
ejb
...
jar.
