<p><div class="note">:title=OpenEJB 3.1.1 or later required}</p>
<p>The <em>@LocalClient</em> annotation (org.apache.openejb.api.LocalClient) is an
innovation that crosses concepts of an Java EE Application Client with a
plain Java SE client. This particular annotation is focused on clients of
an Embeddable EJB container, i.e. local clients. There is another
annotation in development called @RemoteClient that will be focused on
remote clients; clients running outside the vm the container runs.</p>
<p>Any clients annotated with @LocalClient will be scanned at deployment time
for usage of injection-related annotations. The references in the
@LocalClient will be processed with the application just as if the class
was a Java EE Application Client module, but with a few slight differences:</p>
<ol>
<li>Declaring field/method injection points as 'static' is not required</li>
<li>References to EntityManagers via @PersistenceContext are allowed</li>
<li>References to local business interfaces via @EJB is allowed</li>
<li>References to UserTransaction via @Resource is allowed</li>
</ol>
<p>As well since this is not a heavyweight Java EE Application Client, you are
not required to use any special packaging or command-line parameters to run
the client. Your client can be a Unit Test or any plain java code that
needs to pull objects from the Embedded EJB container. Classes with
@LocalClient can be placed in a Client module or an EJB module. A given
module may have as many classes annotated with @LocalClient as it wishes.</p>
<p><a name="LocalClientInjection-Injection"></a></p>
<h1>Injection</h1>
<p>The injection occurs via acquiring a LocalInitialContext via the
LocalInitialContextFactory and calling <em>bind("inject", instance)</em> passing
in the instantiated local client object:</p>
<pre><code>@LocalClient
public class MoviesTest extends TestCase {
@EJB
private Movies movies;
@Resource
private UserTransaction userTransaction;
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
public void setUp() throws Exception {
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory");
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext(p);
initialContext.bind("inject", this);
}
//... other test methods
}
</code></pre>
<p><a name="LocalClientInjection-Discovery"></a></p>
<h1>Discovery</h1>
<p>All EJB modules are scanned for @LocalClient classes, even if those EJB
Modules are inside .war files as with the <a href="collapsed-ear.html">Collapsed EAR</a>
. As well any modules that contain a META-INF/application-client.xml file
will be scanned for @LocalClient classes.</p>
<p>If you see the following error message and are absolutely sure the module
containing your @LocalClient class is being properly identified as an EJB
module or a Client module, than it is possible you are seeing some
classloading issues.
<div class="panel">}
javax.naming.NamingException: Unable to find injection meta-data for
org.superbiz.MyClient. Ensure that class was annotated with
@org.apache.openejb.api.LocalClient and was successfully discovered and
deployed.<div class="panel">}</p>
<p>If you encounter this try setting this openejb-specific boot flag so that
annotations will be treated specially and always loaded by the parent
classloader</p>
<p><code>openejb.tempclassloader.skip=annotations</code></p>
