Hi,
I have been trying to figure out a standard way to invoke ejbs from workflow. We have a customized webclient. The activity implementations are usually jsps. Is it a good practice to invoke ejb by using the jsp as the ejb client? For manual activities it may be a reasonable approach! What about automatic activities?
This is what i attempted to do ... unfortunately i could not get what i wanted...
In the original fdl i had a manual Activity B which had an associated program ProgramB.jsp ... which resides in the /programs folder of the web application.
I modified the fdl to make the Activity B as automatic. The ProgramB properties were also altered to "run unattended".
To Invoke the test java class i tried using the fmcoxjvm.dll to invoke automatic activity. I ran the dll in unfenced mode. The java class was passed as Command line parameters.
Do i have to provide the path to fmcoxjvm.dll ? Where do i put the java class? Under /programs folder of the web application?
Im using MQWorkflow 3.4 and websphere 5 .(both on the same box).
thanks
Anup

By the way had a look at the wa03 support pack... too bad it is based on websphere 3.5 uggghh.... and has brief explanation... if anyone has implemented standard framework to invoke java classes/ejbs as activity implementation do let me know.
Thanks.

I tried the same with the fat client... made some modifications in the fdl too to test my setup... in the program properties i set "path and file name" to C:\Program Files\IBM WebSphere MQ Workflow\BIN\fmcnshow.exe
It still didnt invoke! The activity is still in ready state.. is there anything wrong with what iam trying to do? how do i debug?
Thanks
Anup

When the Activity is automatic there is nothing to do on the webClient.
Run a PEA with the user you assigned for the automatic activity on the server side.
have the EJB (or Whatever) be accessible to your PEA.

what do u mean by that? user is admin and i thought the program being "run unattended" would run automatically without any intervention.
i have the activity modeled as automatic and i have simple batch file exec.bat which has a command like
set path=blah blah
java Test
The batch file is defined for the associated program's windows NT tab
It doesnt seem to invoke the batch file..
Any ideas...thanks
Anup

Where do you expect the program to run?
Ans: PEA.
