A Simple Java Client Server Application using EJB 3 and Glassfish 3

A Simple Java Client Server Application using EJB3 and Glassfish3

Well, in this tutorial i want to show you how to create a simple client server application using java. Actually java has dozens of different network protocols, from a simple socket, hessian, burlap, SpringHttpInvoker, SOAP, XML and so on. But in this example, i will try to create a very simple client server application with EJB 3, using Glassfish 3 as JavaEE Container. As usual, i use Netbeans 6.9 with its default Glassfish3 installation.

First, i create a new JavaEE, EJB Module project, named CompressedEJBServer, and create a simple Stateless Session Bean in it

package com.edw.facade;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

/**
 *
 * @author edw
 */
@Remote
public interface ConnectionFacadeRemote {
    String sayHello(String string);
    int sayAge(int age);  
}

and its implementation

package com.edw.facade;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

/**
 *
 * @author edw
 */
@Stateless
public class ConnectionFacade implements ConnectionFacadeRemote {

    public String sayHello(String string) {
        System.out.println("im at " + this.getClass().getName() + " method sayHello()");
        return "hello " + string;
    }

    public int sayAge(int age) {
        System.out.println("im at " + this.getClass().getName() + " method sayAge()");
        return age * 2;
    }
}

and that’s my EJB3 Server side files. Simple isn’t it?

Next step is creating a Standard Java Application project, for my EJB3 client application. It consist only 1 java file, for testing connection to the server.

package com.edw.main;

import com.edw.facade.ConnectionFacadeRemote;
import java.util.Properties;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

/**
 *
 * @author edw
 */
public class Main {

    private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Main.class);

    private void connect() {
        try {
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
            props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "localhost");
            
            // glassfish default port value will be 3700, 
            // but im using tcpviewer to redirect my 50005 port to 3700
            props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "50005");

            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
            ConnectionFacadeRemote connectionFacadeRemote = (ConnectionFacadeRemote) ctx.lookup("com.edw.facade.ConnectionFacadeRemote");
            logger.debug(connectionFacadeRemote.sayHello("edwin "));
            logger.debug("my age is " + connectionFacadeRemote.sayAge(12) + " years");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            logger.error(ex.getMessage(), ex);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main x = new Main();
        x.connect();
    }
}

include these jars to your client side’s application,

auto-depends.jar
common-util.jar
config.jar
config-api.jar
config-types.jar
connectors-internal-api.jar
container-common.jar
deployment-common.jar
dol.jar
ejb.security.jar
ejb-container.jar
glassfish-api.jar
glassfish-corba-asm.jar
glassfish-corba-codegen.jar
glassfish-corba-csiv2-idl.jar
glassfish-corba-newtimer.jar
glassfish-corba-omgapi.jar
glassfish-corba-orb.jar
glassfish-corba-orbgeneric.jar
glassfish-naming.jar
gmbal.jar
hk2-core.jar
internal-api.jar
javax.ejb.jar
javax.jms.jar
javax.resource.jar
javax.servlet.jar
javax.transaction.jar
jta.jar
kernel.jar
management-api.jar
orb-connector.jar
orb-iiop.jar
security.jar
tiger-types-osgi.jar
transaction-internal-api.jar

and dont forget to add CompressedEJBServer project into CompressEJBClient’s project

this is what happen if i run my client side’s application

[Main] DEBUG com.edw.main.Main:30 - hello edwin 
[Main] DEBUG com.edw.main.Main:31 - my age is 24 years

this is my Server side’s project structures

and this is my Client side’s project structures

and this is my TCP Viewer logs, i try to redirect my localhost’s port 50005 into my localhost’s port 3700 (Glassfish’s port), so i can see what is passing through my 50005 port via TCP Viewer’s console.

Hope this can help, have fun and good luck. May the Source be with You.
