Can't get my EJB names into jndi

[wcn00]

I have a demo application which deploys on WebLogic, Oc4j, and Jrun successfully.
When I deploy it on Jboss none of the jndi names are found when looked up via
Object RemoteRef = ic.lookup("ectsCCIDemo");


The session EJB is referenced in the web.xml like this:
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ectsCCIDemo</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
com.ObjectStar.examples.ectsCCIDemoHome
com.ObjectStar.examples.ectsCCIDemo
<ejb-link>ectsCCIDemo</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>

So I created a jboss-web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ectsCCIDemo</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>ectsCCIDemoWanker</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>eis/OigAdapter</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>OigAdapter</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

That didn't help. If I list the jndi contents I dont' see any of my ejb names:

No mention of any of my jndi names!


Also, I do not see any jndi binding messages when I deploy this app either which is curious...

Any thoughts out there?

More on this:
deployed just the ejb.jar file from my app and no errors occured but no jndi entries wer created either.

If I take an application (arno) and do the same thing jndi entries are created!
I've compared deployment descriptors to the best of my ability and they all appear to be valid!

Is there a verbose mode for this server? I need some debugging messges..

You can view the JNDI bindings in jmx-console. (http://yourServer:yourPort/jmx-console)

Have u build the correct jboss ejb deplyment descriptor ?

THe only jboss-web.xml is not enough.

Try to lookup using "java:comp/env/ectsCCIDemo" (not only ectsCCIDemo).

Ahh! or perhaps it should be arg...

I narrowed it down by process of elimination to the MANIFEST.MF file I used in my ejb jar. It had a classpath in it. When I removed the custom manifest in favor of ant's generated default one the ejb's deployed as you would expect.
Not very intuitive...
For your reading pleasure, the offending manifest file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5
Class-Path: ects.jar:xerces.jar:oigadapter.jar

Or you could try to deploy with orginal manifest file excluding xerces.jar from Class-path. It might create conflicts with JAXP version used by JBoss.
