Comment 2 Michael OBrien 2010-08-19 10:34:46 EDT

>There is a secondary issue here - when weaving is on and we do not find weaved methods
- we will want to warn and mention this classLoader order issue (EJB jar containing persistence unit must preceed any WAR injecting a bean containing the persistence unit) instead of throwing a NullPointerException because we expect the [value holder] method lookup to pass

Comment 3 Michael OBrien 2010-08-20 10:27:33 EDT

>This bug is for community reference on the workaround for cases where a secondary NPE occurs because of application.xml ejb/war ordering
>The bug was reopened because we have the goahead to enter a Warning to the user on the primary cause of the secondary NullPointerException
- that occurs when an Entity is not weaved because the injected session bean containing the injected persistence context is processed after a war that uses the persistence unit via injection of the session bean in the ejb.jar.
- the NPE cause is because the weaved "_*_vh" method was not found on the entity class

>Warning addition:
- add a warning to initializeDescriptors() that fails with a weaving method check - that we expected the current class to be woven/instrumented.

>Bug is assigned only until I attach 2 nearly identical reproduction EAR files (one that fails and the other that does not)

Comment 4 Michael OBrien 2010-08-20 12:23:29 EDT

>Narrowed the issue down to the way JSF managed beans are deployed.
As soon as we reference any POJO class as a managed-bean (where it contains an @EJB injection of a SSB that itself has an @PersistenceContext injection) - we fail with a secondary NPE when weaved methods are not found on the "should have been weaved" entity class

>If you remove the managed-bean element or the faces-config-xml file itself - you deploy fine with any application.xml module order


<managed-bean>
	<managed-bean-name>cell</managed-bean-name>
	<managed-bean-class>org.eclipse.persistence.example.jpa.server.weblogic.enterprise.presentation.CellBean</managed-bean-class>
	<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>

>where the annotated class is on the WAR
public class CellBean {

    @EJB
    private ApplicationServiceLocal applicationService;
    private Cell cell;
}

>and the SSB is on the ejb.jar
@Local
public interface ApplicationServiceLocal {...}
@Stateless
public class ApplicationService implements ApplicationServiceLocal, ApplicationServiceRemote {
	@PersistenceContext(unitName="example", type=PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION)	
	private EntityManager entityManager;    
...}

>Note: it is not the @EJB injection itself that causes the issue - because a servlet works fine this way - it is the JSF use of classLoaders

>I am attaching two reproduction EAR's and their Eclipse 3.5 OEPE project sets
http://127.0.0.1:7001/enterprise_jsf/FrontController?action=demo
WebLogicJTAbasedJSFSSB_EAR - fails on deploy (after a predeploy success)
WebLogicJTAbasedServletSSB_EAR - works fine

>Note: if you don't want to launch the URL above - you can do a deploy as part of the predeploy
- using the following property in your persistence.xml

<!-- 323148: force an early em.deploy() as part of the emf.predeploy() - normally done on first entityManager login -->
<property name="eclipselink.validation-only" value="True"/>

Servlet EAR Eclipse projects - work fine as reference

Comment 11 Michael OBrien 2010-08-20 12:34:57 EDT

>Note: it is only the deployment of the managed-bean that causes the issue
- as the no-weaving issue occurs even without any functional JSF pages or navigation rules
- a minimal faces-config.xml descriptor is all that is needed to break the persistenceContext
- for even when the same injected persistence unit is used via @EJB injection on a separate non-JSF servlet the first-time deploy of the entityManager causes the NPE exception.
