Remote EJB lookup using OpenEJB in Tomee - openejb

Question

Am trying to use example given here
http://openejb.apache.org/hello-world.html
With OpenEJB I am able to output HelloWorld
I am trying same in Apache Tomee
I have Remote EJB bean like this
#Remote
public interface Hello{
public String sayHello();
}
#Stateless
public class HelloBean implements Hello{
public String sayHello(){
return "Hello World!!!!";
}
}
packed it in a jar
jar cvf hello.jar org
Deployed on Apache Tomee
Tomee Log after deploying hello.jar

Now I have created void main class and trying to access this EJB
It throws error

Answer 1

By default Tomee doesn't allow Remote EJB lookup
you need to enable it inside Apache-Tomee/conf/system.properties file
// enable remote access
tomee.remote.support = true
// blacklist none
tomee.serialization.class.blacklist = -
// whitelist all classes or you can define your classes
tomee.serialization.class.whitelist = *
openejb.system.apps = true
openejb.servicemanager.enabled = true
once these configuration are changeed, restart tomee and tomee deploy your EJB's
and all EJB's can be accessed using following url
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http://localhost:8080/tomee/ejb");
final InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(p);
Hello hbr = (Hello) ctx.lookup("HelloBeanRemote");
One other mistake I was doing that
I used openejb-client-3.0.jar from OpenEJb container
instead of openejb-client-7.0.2.jar from apache lib folder
Use client jar above 3 version
