Cannot deploy simple session ejb

[vucko]

Hi!

I am having a problem deploying a simple session bean. I cannot see it in JNDI view and I see nothing in the output when I start up JBoss. Is there anything that I should see in an output of JBoss? I am using JUnit to test this EJB but I keep getting javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not found. I have used XDoclet to generate ejb stuff below. Unfortunately I don't have lot of experience with it.
My Jboss.xml is as follows :


<enterprise-beans>

<!--
To add beans that you have deployment descriptor info for, add
a file to your XDoclet merge directory called jboss-beans.xml that contains
the , and <message-driven></message-driven>
markup for those beans.
-->


<ejb-name>Rate</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/Rate</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>RateLocal</local-jndi-name>



</enterprise-beans>

<resource-managers>
</resource-managers>



My ejb is as follows :
<enterprise-beans>

<!-- Session Beans -->

<![CDATA[Description for Rate]]>
<display-name>RateBean</display-name>

<ejb-name>Rate</ejb-name>

interfaces.RateHome
interfaces.Rate
<local-home>interfaces.RateLocalHome</local-home>
interfaces.RateLocal
<ejb-class>ejb.RateBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

Which deploy folder are you copying the jar file to? Have you made sure that the deployment descritptors are in a folder called 'META-INF' at the root of the archive?

Instead of putting the jar in the deploy folder before starting JBoss try starting JBoss then putting the jar in the deploy folder. This should make it easier to see if your jar is being recognised.

You should get a few lines in the console output that show the bean being deployed.

I have moved ejb.xml and jboss.xml files in to the META-INF of the root archive but still no luck. I can see .was file being properly deployed and I can all the directeories and ejb class files but I still cannot see anything in my jmx console. What sort of message should I be looking for in JBoss logs/console as the server starts up. If anyone has any idea out there please let me know.

Thanks

Which deploy folder are you copying the jar file to?

Can you confirm if this is what your archive structure looks like: -

interfaces/RateHome.class
interfaces/Rate.class
interfaces/RateLocalHome.class
interfaces/RateLocal.class
ejb/RateBean.class
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
META-INT/jboss.xml

Instead of putting the jar in the deploy folder before starting JBoss try starting JBoss then putting the jar in the deploy folder. This should make it easier to see if your jar is being recognised.

I have an archive that contains two session beans SecurityBeanA and SecurityBeanB, this is the output I get when I deploy it: -

20:34:26,625 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying SecurityBeanA
20:34:26,750 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying SecurityBeanB
20:34:26,890 INFO [EJBDeployer] Deployed: file:/D:/ThirdParty/jboss-4.0.0/serve
r/default/deploy/SecuritySessions.jar

If you don't get any messages output to the console have a look in the file server.log in the log folder adjacent to the deploy folder. If there are some messages in there it means that the archive was recognised as an ordinary jar file, this is most likely to be caused by the archive being packaged incorrectly.
