Info on ..."Error in ejb-jar.xml ...expected one home tag"

[smehta]

Hello all

I am trying to upgrade from JBoss 2.2 to 3.21 and am trying to deploy an entity bean.

To speed up performance, I have changed our EJBs to use local-home and local.

Here is an excerpt of my ejb-jar.xml

..........................................................

<!-- Attribute -->


Attribute Desc.


<ejb-name>AttributeBean</ejb-name>
<local-home>test.ejb.AttributeHome</local-home>
test.ejb.Attribute
<ejb-class>test.ejb.AttributeBean</ejb-class>

<persistence-type>Bean</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>test.ejb.AttributePK</prim-key-class>

False

<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/RelationToAttrBean</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>

When I deploy this Bean, I get the following error:

Would appreciate any help on the matter.

I received a similar error a few weeks ago. It was in large part due to some misplaced XDoclet tags in my EJB files that was causing some havok. Are you using XDoclet?

Thanks for the response.
No I am not using XDoc and basically since I am doing an upgrade from a previous version of JBoss(2.2 to 3.2.1), I am manually editing the ejb-jar.xml file to use local-home and local tags.
That's about all the changes that I have made in this file.

I guess I should try using XDoc.

Thx
