I am trying to call RES server (v 7.1) from EAR deployed on WAS (8.5) instance. I was able to invoke rule server from standalone program and its working without any problems.
However my main problem is to invoke EJB deployed on RES server remotely from another EAR deployed on some other WAS instance. In this case we are not able to look-up the EJB remotely.
As per below thread we should bypass the EJB3 IlrSessionFactory API and should use Java EJB API to look up rule sessions directly.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21586621
Recommendation from IBM is to use standard java api for ejb lookup or to upgrade to Rule Server 7.5 (latest 8.x).
Code snippet
// Initialization
Map<String, Object> outputParms = null;
IlrStatelessSession session=null;
IlrSessionResponse response=null;
// IlrSessionFactory factory = getFactory();
try {
sessionFactory = JRulesInvoker.getFactory();
Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"corbaloc:iiop:localhost:28004");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
Object lookupResult = ctx.lookup("ilog.rules.res.session.impl.ejb3.IlrStatelessSessionRemote");
PortableRemoteObject aPortableRemoteObject = new PortableRemoteObject();
session = (IlrStatelessSession) aPortableRemoteObject.narrow(lookupResult, IlrStatelessSession.class);
IlrPath path = new IlrPath(ruleApp, ruleSet);
IlrSessionRequest request = sessionFactory.createRequest();
request.setRulesetPath(path);
request.setInputParameters(inputParms);
request.getTraceFilter().setInfoTotalRulesFired(true);
request.getTraceFilter().setInfoExecutionEvents(true);
request.setTraceEnabled(true);
// session = sessionFactory.createStatelessSession();
System.out.println("created session " + IlrJNDIConstants.STATELESS_SESSION_EJB3_NAME);
response = session.execute(request);
System.out.println(response.getRulesetExecutionTrace().getTotalRulesFired() + " rule(s) fired.");
System.out.println("Execution output=" + response.getRulesetExecutionOutput());
// Return the result(s)
outputParms = response.getOutputParameters();
if (logger.isEnabledFor(Level.DEBUG)) {
if (response.getRulesetExecutionOutput() != null) {
logger.debug("RuleSet execution output: \n" + response.getRulesetExecutionOutput());
}
}
}catch (IlrSessionCreationException cx) {
if (logger.isEnabledFor(Level.ERROR)) {
logger.error(cx.getMessage(), cx);
}
} catch (IlrSessionException e) {
if (logger.isEnabledFor(Level.ERROR)) {
logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
if (logger.isEnabledFor(Level.ERROR)) {
logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
