javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.ejb.CreateException: Could not create stateless EJB

Hello Everyone,

I'm a new to JavaEE and currently I'm following the The Java EE 6 Tutorial (March 2011).

System:
- Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
- java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
- GlassFish Server 3.1 Open Source glassfish-3.1-windows.exe
- netbeans-6.9.1-ml-windows.exe
- apache-maven-3.0.2-bin.zip

After installations are done, I used Update Tool to obtain the Java EE Tutorial and it is now at C:\glassfish3.1\glassfish\docs\javaee-tutorial\ where C:\glassfish3.1\ is the installed_dir of the GlassFish Server 3.1 Open Source.

Then now I'm following the The Java EE 6 Tutorial that is C:\glassfish3.1\glassfish\docs\javaee-tutorial\doc\javaeetutorial6.pdf.

Now I'm building, deploying, and running the example async that is one of EJB examples, located at C:\glassfish3.1\glassfish\docs\javaee-tutorial\examples\ejb\async\.

It was builded OK.
It was deployed OK.
At the browser Firefox 3.6.16, I went to http://localhost:8080/async/. I provided an email and then clicked Send email button, I saw an error below:
javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.ejb.CreateException: Could not create stateless EJB

The server.log (in C:\glassfish3.1\glassfish\domains\domain1\logs\) showed:

Please let me know what I was missing or it is GlassFish 3.1 Open Source bug.

Thank you in advance.

Lookup failed for 'mail/myExampleSession' means you tried to lookup an object that was not bound in the JNDI tree with the name that you provided. Are you sure that resource exists on the server and is bound under that name?

Hi r035198x,

I really don't know. I just followed the The async Example Application (page 468 of 908 from the javaeetutorial6.pdf).

At page 470,
Running the async Example Application in NetBeans
IDE
Follow these instructions for running the async example application inNetBeans IDE.
Before running this example, you must configure your GlassFish Server instance to access the
keystore and truststore used by GlassFish Server to create a secure connection to the target
SMTPS server.
Fromthe File menu, choose Open Project.
In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:
tut-install/examples/ejb/
Select the async folder and click Open Project.
Under async in the project pane, expand the Server Resources node and double-click
glassfish-resources.xml.
Enter the configuration settings for yourSMTPS server in glassfish-resources.xml.
The SMTPS server host name is set in the host attribute, email address from which you want
the message sent is the from attribute, the SMTPS user name is the user attribute. Set the
mail-smtps-password property value to the password for the SMTPS server user. The
following code snippet shows an example resource configuration. Lines in bold need to be
modified.
<resources>
<mail-resource debug="false"
enabled="true"
from="user@example.com"
host="smtp.example.com"
jndi-name="mail/myExampleSession"
object-type="user" store-protocol="imap"
store-protocol-class="com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore"
transport-protocol="smtps"
transport-protocol-class="com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSSLTransport"
user="user@example.com">
<description/>
<property name="mail-smtps-auth" value="true"/>
<property name="mail-smtps-password" value="mypassword"/>
</mail-resource>
</resources>
Right-click async in the project pane and select Run.
This will compile, assemble, and deploy the application, and start a web browser at the
following URL: http://localhost:8080/async.

So I changed the from, host, user, and mail-smtps-password. The zip file that I attached is the entire project. Please unzip it and view it to see if I missed any thing.

Thank you

@Asynchronous
public Future<String> sendMessage(String email) {
String status;

try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom();
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(email, false));
message.setSubject("Test message from async example");
message.setHeader("X-Mailer", "JavaMail");

DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.SHORT);
Date timeStamp = new Date();
String messageBody = "This is a test message from the async example "
+ "of the Java EE Tutorial. It was sent on "
+ dateFormatter.format(timeStamp) + ".";
message.setText(messageBody);
message.setSentDate(timeStamp);
Transport.send(message);
status = "Sent";
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Mail sent to {0}", email);
} catch (MessagingException ex) {
logger.severe("Error in sending message.");
status = "Encountered an error";
logger.severe(ex.getCause().getMessage());
}

return new AsyncResult<String>(status);
}
}

I got it.

The async example of the tutorial provides glassfish-resources.xml. I changed it to sun-resources.xml and it works now.

Thank you
