Bean's client Today I would like to finish guide that I started yesterday. We have application tier in issue tracking application. Now, we will develop J2SE client that invokes methods in EJB tier.

• Create standard J2SE project
• Create new jndi.properties file in src directory and add these lines in it:

      java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
      java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
      java.naming.provider.url=localhost
    

• Add jboss-all.jar on project classpath. Thies file you can find in $JBOSS/client directory
• Now, implement test methods in Main class. Note, use global JNDI names for beans.

      InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
      Object obj = ctx.lookup("IZFacadeBean");
      IZFacadeRemote izFacade = ((IZFacadeRemoteHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,
                                         IZFacadeRemoteHome.class)).create();
      // print issue ID 1
      IssueDTO issue = izFacade.getIssueById(1);
      System.out.println("Issue id: " + issue.getId() + ", summary: " + issue.getSummary());
      // create new issue
      izFacade.createNewIssue(new IssueDTO(new Long(10),"D", new Integer(1), "PETR", "Test fails"));
    

• Run (F6) your client application.
