org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ejb.WebsphereDeploymentTool

All Implemented Interfaces:

EJBDeploymentTool

public class WebsphereDeploymentTool
extends GenericDeploymentTool

Websphere deployment tool that augments the ejbjar task. Searches for the websphere specific deployment descriptors and adds them to the final ejb jar file. Websphere has two specific descriptors for session beans:

• ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xmi
• ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi

and another two for container managed entity beans:

• Map.mapxmi
• Schema.dbxmi

In terms of WebSphere, the generation of container code and stubs is called deployment. This step can be performed by the websphere element as part of the jar generation process. If the switch ejbdeploy is on, the ejbdeploy tool from the websphere toolset is called for every ejb-jar. Unfortunately, this step only works, if you use the ibm jdk. Otherwise, the rmic (called by ejbdeploy) throws a ClassFormatError. Be sure to switch ejbdeploy off, if run ant with sun jdk.

protected void addVendorFiles(Hashtable ejbFiles,
                              String baseName)

Add any vendor specific files which should be included in the EJB Jar.

Overrides:

createWASClasspath

public Path createWASClasspath()

Get the classpath to the websphere classpaths.

Returns:

the websphere classpath.

                                               throws IOException

Helper method invoked by isRebuildRequired to get a ClassLoader for a Jar File passed to it.

Parameters:

classjar - java.io.File representing jar file to get classes from.

Returns:

a classloader for the jar file.

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error.

getDescriptorHandler

protected DescriptorHandler getDescriptorHandler(File srcDir)

Get a descriptionHandler..

Overrides:

getWebsphereDescriptorHandler

protected DescriptorHandler getWebsphereDescriptorHandler(File srcDir)

isRebuildRequired

protected boolean isRebuildRequired(File genericJarFile,
                                    File websphereJarFile)

Helper method to check to see if a websphere EBJ1.1 jar needs to be rebuilt using ejbdeploy. Called from writeJar it sees if the "Bean" classes are the only thing that needs to be updated and either updates the Jar with the Bean classfile or returns true, saying that the whole websphere jar needs to be regened with ejbdeploy. This allows faster build times for working developers.

The way websphere ejbdeploy works is it creates wrappers for the publicly defined methods as they are exposed in the remote interface. If the actual bean changes without changing the the method signatures then only the bean classfile needs to be updated and the rest of the websphere jar file can remain the same. If the Interfaces, ie. the method signatures change or if the xml deployment descriptors changed, the whole jar needs to be rebuilt with ejbdeploy. This is not strictly true for the xml files. If the JNDI name changes then the jar doesn't have to be rebuild, but if the resources references change then it does. At this point the websphere jar gets rebuilt if the xml files change at all.

Parameters:

genericJarFile - java.io.File The generic jar file.

websphereJarFile - java.io.File The websphere jar file to check to see if it needs to be rebuilt.

Returns:

true if a rebuild is required.

setCodegen

public void setCodegen(boolean codegen)

Flag, default false, to only generate the deployment code, do not run RMIC or Javac

Parameters:

codegen - option

setDbname

public void setDbname(String dbName)

Sets the name of the Database to create; optional.

Parameters:

dbName - name of the database

setDbschema

public void setDbschema(String dbSchema)

Sets the name of the schema to create; optional.

Parameters:

dbSchema - name of the schema

setDbvendor

public void setDbvendor(String dbvendor)

Sets the DB Vendor for the Entity Bean mapping ; optional.

Valid options can be obtained by running the following command: <WAS_HOME>/bin/EJBDeploy.[sh/bat] -help

This is also used to determine the name of the Map.mapxmi and Schema.dbxmi files, for example Account-DB2UDB_V81-Map.mapxmi and Account-DB2UDB_V81-Schema.dbxmi.

Parameters:

dbvendor - database vendor type

setEjbdeploy

public void setEjbdeploy(boolean ejbdeploy)

Decide, whether ejbdeploy should be called or not; optional, default true.

Parameters:

ejbdeploy - a boolean value.

setEJBdtd

public void setEJBdtd(String inString)

Setter used to store the location of the Sun's Generic EJB DTD. This can be a file on the system or a resource on the classpath.

Parameters:

inString - the string to use as the DTD location.

setKeepgeneric

public void setKeepgeneric(boolean inValue)

This controls whether the generic file used as input to ejbdeploy is retained; optional, default false.

Parameters:

inValue - either 'true' or 'false'.

setNewCMP

public void setNewCMP(boolean newCMP)

Set the value of the newCMP scheme. The old CMP scheme locates the websphere CMP descriptor based on the naming convention where the websphere CMP file is expected to be named with the bean name as the prefix. Under this scheme the name of the CMP descriptor does not match the name actually used in the main websphere EJB descriptor. Also, descriptors which contain multiple CMP references could not be used.

Parameters:

newCMP - a boolean value.

Parameters:

noinform - if true disables informational messages
