15 Troubleshooting Application Deployment

This chapter discusses some of the general troubleshooting issues surrounding entity bean configuration and deployment. It lists many of the common exceptions and exception messages that you may encounter when you try to deploy persistent entity beans, using TopLink.

If you have any problems installing TopLink, using TopLink Workbench, or require more information on any run-time exceptions that are generated by TopLink, consult the appropriate documentation.

This chapter contains information on:

Generating Deployment JAR Files

If you experience trouble generating the JAR files for deployment:

Running the EJB compiler utility involves several processes, such as compiling, code-generation, EJB compliance verification, compiling RMI stubs by running rmic, and so on. If an error occurs during execution of the EJB compile utility, try to determine which stage may be causing the failure.

For more information about the EJB compile utility, see the server documentation.

Common J2SE Deployment Exceptions

The following are some of the most common exceptions that may be encountered when you try to deploy a J2SE (non-J2EE) application using TopLink.

Classpath Exceptions

An exception may occur while setting up the connection pool. You must check the nested SQL exception to determine the cause of the exception. Typical reasons for this include the following:

  • The location of JDBC driver is not specified on the classpath.

  • The user name or password provided by the user is incorrect.

  • The server URL or driver name is not properly specified.

You should consult the application server documentation and the JDBC driver documentation for help with this exception.

If the required TopLink JAR files have not been copied into the application extensions classpath, a classpath exception will be raised. You must ensure that the toplink.jar and antlr.jar files are copied into the <Application Server install>\lib\app directory.

If TopLink encounters problems finding the deployment project.xml or sessions.xml files, a classpath exception will be raised. Refer to Chapter 10, "Deploying a TopLink Application".

JDeveloper places the sessions.xml file in the META-INF directory. To load the sessions.xml file in a non-J2EE application, you must explicitly provide the location of the sessions.xml file as shown in Example 15-1.

Example 15-1 Location of the sessions.xml file

XMLSessionConfigLoader loader = new
           XMLSessionConfigLoader("META-INF/sessions.xml");
session = (DatabaseSession)SessionManager.getManager().getSession(
           loader, "MySession", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());

If the J2SE application is a single-user application, a DatabaseSession can be used instead of a ServerSession. This provides improved performance and reduces the number of database connections and login time.

Communication Exceptions

In situations where cache coordination is used, a communication exception may occur. A communication exception is a run-time exception that wraps all RMI, CORBA, or input and output exceptions that occur.

Refer to the Communication Exceptions (12000 - 12003) section in the TopLink Exception Reference chapter for detailed information on communication exceptions that may occur.

Descriptor Validation Exceptions

A descriptor exception is a development exception that is raised when insufficient information is provided to the descriptor. The message that is returned includes the name of the descriptor or mapping that caused the exception. If a mapping within the descriptor caused the error, then the name and parameters of the mapping are part of the returned message.

The internal exception, mapping and descriptor appear only if TopLink has enough information about the source of the problem to provide this information.

Refer to the Descriptor Exceptions (1 – 201) section in the TopLink Exception Reference chapter for detailed information on descriptor validation exceptions that may occur.

Common BEA WebLogic Server Deployment Exceptions

The following are some of the most common exceptions that are encountered when you deploy entity beans to a BEA WebLogic Server.

For more information about specific versions, see the following:
