RMI From TomEE to Jboss

[Joshua Sharf]

Is there a way to make an RMI call *from* a TomEE server *to* a JBoss EJB? I
know we can set up TomEE to host EJBs, but that's not what we want to do.
We want to make the call from TomEE to the remote EJB,

We're running TomEE Plume 7.0.4, and EAP7.

Thanks for any help you can give us,
Joshua Sharf

It's likely possible, but whether or not it's a "good idea" is the better
question :) It might be best to see about getting a consultant from
Tomitribe out there to help you.

The process would be something like, use the JBoss InitialContextFactory
and point it at the remote server. Then, you should be able to use that to
perform a lookup. I don't think there will be a way to use @EJB injection,
unless you did some magic with CDI and the @Produces annotation.

A better way would be to wrap your legacy EJBs with RESTful services so
that way you're platform independent.

Hi Joshua
AFAIK, it is not possible to propagate RMI call from TomEE to JBoss because
TomEE uses its own remote protocol (for example, you can not propagate
distributed transactions). But, you may use JBoss client JARS in TomEE to
call your EJBs in JBoss.

Pessimists, see a jar as half empty. Optimists, in contrast, see it as half
full.
Engineers, of course, understand the glass is twice as big as it needs to
be.

Hi

If you have the client API it will work as in any app (spring apps always
do that and it will be exactly the same in tomee).

You can even do fun stuff like proxying the jboss calls with an endpoint
redirecring the streams or redirecting an ejbd (tomee) rmi call to jboss
either using a plain client or extenal jndi provider to inject the remote
context config. Not sure it is good compared to having a plain client but
very doable.

+1 I like this approach... even though I am running 2 separate TomEE's on
same machine, they communicate via RESTful services and have been working
really well; I'm sure the code I wrote helps as well.

You can certainly make remote calls to JBoss in the same way you would do
with a regular client. You'd need to include the JBoss client jars, and use
the appropriate URL and context factory in your InitialContext. This should
be a reasonable approach.

JBoss itself has the concept of an ExternalContext which effectively maps
an external JNDI into a local one. TomEE doesn't have its own equivalent
that I know of, but it might be possible to come up with something similar.
If I get a chance later this week I'll see if I can hack something up.

The "Referencing a bean in another server" part of
http://tomee.apache.org/ejb-refs.html should already enable several cases.

Ah - wonder why I haven't seen that before. Thanks for the note. I'll see
if I can throw an example here.
