J2EE Applications Server guide

The Jbi4Ejb component is tested with different application servers and different orbs. See the the system requirements for the tested combinations of J2EE Application Servers/ORB/ESB.

We tested with

Glassfish v2

The Glassfish application server has been tested using both the SUN JDK ORB and the Glassfish ORB. To configure the Glassfish ORB, simply put this ORB confoguration (see the WSDL exensions for the meaning). 

<imolaejb:binding>
        <imolaejb:orb>
                <imolaejb:property name="org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass" 
                        value="com.sun.corba.ee.impl.orb.ORBImpl"/>                             
        </imolaejb:orb>
</imolaejb:binding>

Otherwise, for the default JDK ORB, if the SUN JDK is used, no configuration is needed and an empty jbi4ejb:binding can be added:

<imolaejb:binding>
        <imolaejb:orb/> 
</imolaejb:binding>

The glassfish corbaname (default configuration) are in the form: corbaname:iiop:host:3700#jndiName

Notice that the ORB classes must be in the ESB classpath: this automatic if the bus is OpenESB, but with Servicemix, if the Glassfish ORB is used, the appserv-rt.jar (from the Glassfish distribution) must be copied in the SERVICEMIX_HOME/lib/optional folder.

Websphere 6.1

The ORB tested for the Websphere connection is the IBK ORB. The binding configuration is:

<imolaejb:binding>
        <imolaejb:orb>
                <imolaejb:property name="org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass" 
                        value="com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ORB"/>                                
        </imolaejb:orb>
</imolaejb:binding>

The corbaname are (in the default configuration) are in the form: corbaname:iiop:host:2809/NameServiceServerRoot#jndiName.

Notice that the ORB classes must be in the ESB classpath: this can be done putting the ibmcwf.jar, ibmorbapi.jar and ibmorb.jar (from the Websphere runtime) in:

  • GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/mydomain/lib/ext for OpenESB
  • SERVICEMIX_HOME/lib/optional for Servicemix

Jboss 4

The ORB tested for JBoss is Jacorb. To configure-it, the binding extension is:

<imolaejb:binding>
        <imolaejb:orb>
                <imolaejb:property name="org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass" 
                        value="org.jacorb.orb.ORB"/>
                <imolaejb:property name="org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass" 
                        value="org.jacorb.orb.ORBSingleton"/>                                                   
        </imolaejb:orb>
</imolaejb:binding>

The corbaname are (in the default configuration) are in the form: corbaname:iiop:host:3528/NameService#jndiName.

Notice that the ORB classes must be in the ESB classpath: this can be done putting the jacorb.jar, avalon-framework.jar and logkit.jar (from the Jboss runtime) in:

  • GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/mydomain/lib/ext for OpenESB
  • SERVICEMIX_HOME/lib/optional for Servicemix

Weblogic 10

The Orb tested are the Glassfish ORB and the SUN JDK ORB, so the configuration is the same as Glassfish v2.
