Error description
Abstract: Attempts to validate a project result in error: 'EJB reference or EJB local reference with name 'EJB/mybean' not found' Problem: Using IBM Rational Application Developer v8.0.4 and IBM WebSphere Application server v7.0.0.19: 1. Create an EJB 3.0 project called MyEJB with client project MyEJBClient, associated with the EAR 5 project called MyEJBEAR 2. Add a Stateless session EJB with code similar to the following: package com; import javax.ejb.Stateless; @Stateless(name='EJB/mybean') public class Bean implements BeanRemote { public Bean() { } } and the required remote interface com.BeanRemote. 3. Create a Dynamic Web project 2.5 called MyWeb, associated with a separate EAR 5 project called MyWebEAR 4. Add the project MyEJBClient as a Utility Module to MyWebEAR 5. Configure MyEJBClient in the Deployment Assembly page of MyWeb 6. Add a Servlet Filter to MyWeb. The source file of the Servlet Filter should be placed in MyEJBClient, and the code should reference the EJB by dependency injection as follows: package com; import java.io.IOException; import javax.ejb.EJB; import javax.servlet.* public class Test1 implements Filter{ @EJB(name='EJB/mybean') BeanRemote myRemote; @Override public void destroy() {} @Override public void doFilter(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1,FilterChain arg2) throws IOException, ServletException {} @Override public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {System.out.println('Servlet Filter init:'+myRemote.toString());}} 7. Right click on project MyWeb,and select: Java EE?Generate WebSphere Bindings Deployment Descriptor 8. In the file ibm-web-bnd.xml add the line that specifies the binding to the Remote EJB located in a separate EAR: ?ejb-ref name='EJB/mybean' binding-name='ejb/MyEJBEAR/MyEJB.jar/EJB/mybean#com.BeanRemote' /? The resulting web bindings validator will report the following error: EJB reference or EJB local reference with name 'EJB/mybean' not found on the file: /MyWeb/WebContent/WEB-INF/ibm-web-bnd.xml The application cannot be published to WebSphere Application Server because of this validation error. Local fix: 1. Navigate to Windows ? Preferences ? Validator 2. Disable the WebSphere Web bindings Validator The validation error will disappear and the application will publish correctly. Note that when the target of the reference is in a separate Enterprise Archive then the binding is required. If the binding is missing you will get the following error from the server: [3/14/12 15:32:50:533 CET] 00000019 annotation E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.annotation.WASAnnotationHelper inject exception while injecting resource --? [InjectionTargetField= com.BeanRemote com.Test1.myRemote] com.ibm.wsspi.injectionengine.InjectionException: The com.ibm.ws.ejbcontainer.injection.factory.EJBLinkObjectFactory factory encountered a problem getting the object instance for the Reference:com.BeanRemote binding object.
