Class AbstractEnterpriseBean

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.ejb.support.AbstractEnterpriseBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, EnterpriseBean

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractMessageDrivenBean, AbstractSessionBean

public abstract class AbstractEnterpriseBean
extends Object
implements EnterpriseBean

Base class for Spring-based EJB 2.x beans. Not intended for direct subclassing: Extend AbstractStatelessSessionBean, AbstractStatefulSessionBean or AbstractMessageDrivenBean instead.

Provides a standard way of loading a Spring BeanFactory. Subclasses act as a facade, with the business logic deferred to beans in the BeanFactory. Default is to use a ContextJndiBeanFactoryLocator, which will initialize an XML ApplicationContext from the class path (based on a JNDI name specified). For a different locator strategy, setBeanFactoryLocator may be called (before your EJB's ejbCreate method is invoked, e.g. in setSessionContext). For use of a shared ApplicationContext between multiple EJBs, where the container class loader setup supports this visibility, you may instead use a ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator. Alternatively, setBeanFactoryLocator(org.springframework.beans.factory.access.BeanFactoryLocator) may be called with a custom implementation of the BeanFactoryLocator interface.

Note that we cannot use final for our implementation of EJB lifecycle methods, as this would violate the EJB specification.

Method Detail

setBeanFactoryLocator

public void setBeanFactoryLocator(BeanFactoryLocator beanFactoryLocator)

Set the BeanFactoryLocator to use for this EJB. Default is a ContextJndiBeanFactoryLocator.

Can be invoked before loadBeanFactory, for example in constructor or setSessionContext if you want to override the default locator.

Note that the BeanFactory is automatically loaded by the ejbCreate implementations of AbstractStatelessSessionBean and AbstractMessageDriverBean but needs to be explicitly loaded in custom AbstractStatefulSessionBean ejbCreate methods.

AbstractStatelessSessionBean.ejbCreate(), AbstractMessageDrivenBean.ejbCreate(), AbstractStatefulSessionBean.loadBeanFactory(), ContextJndiBeanFactoryLocator

setBeanFactoryLocatorKey

public void setBeanFactoryLocatorKey(String factoryKey)

Set the bean factory locator key.

In case of the default BeanFactoryLocator implementation, ContextJndiBeanFactoryLocator, this is the JNDI path. The default value of this property is "java:comp/env/ejb/BeanFactoryPath".

Can be invoked before loadBeanFactory(), for example in the constructor or setSessionContext if you want to override the default locator key.

BEAN_FACTORY_PATH_ENVIRONMENT_KEY

getBeanFactory

protected BeanFactory getBeanFactory()

May be called after ejbCreate().

Returns:

the bean factory

ejbRemove

public void ejbRemove()

EJB lifecycle method, implemented to invoke onEjbRemove() and unload the BeanFactory afterwards.

Don't override it (although it can't be made final): code your shutdown in onEjbRemove().

onEjbRemove

protected void onEjbRemove()

Subclasses must implement this method to do any initialization they would otherwise have done in an ejbRemove() method. The BeanFactory will be unloaded afterwards.

This implementation is empty, to be overridden in subclasses. The same restrictions apply to the work of this method as to an ejbRemove() method.
