    ClassNotFoundException Please Help

    crgardner

      I have an entity bean that, when invoked by a non-bean client, runs perfectly. However, when I try to invoke that same entity bean with a session bean, I get a ClassNotFoundException. It must be something with my setup, but I've no idea what. BTW, this is the oft-tried Monson-Haefel Cabin and TravelAgent bean example. I've posted this before, but I haven't got any pointers to really solving this problem. Here's the relevant stuff:

          I don't know what's happening in your programs but let me say just two points:

          1) In ejb-jar.xml, "<ejb-ref-type>Entity/</ejb-ref-type>" should be "<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>".

          2) Your stack trace shows "Unknown Source" at TravelAgentBean.listCabins().
          Please compile your programs with "-g".

            Thanks for the tips. I did fix the "Entity/" problem and now compile with the debug flag set. However, the outcome is the same. I'm trying to trace the path:

            1. CabinBean and supporting classes and descriptors are successfully deployed. I can run a non-bean client that creates CabinBeans. The database is updated.

            2. TravelAgentBean and supporting classes and descriptors are successfully deployed. I run a client that communicates with an object that implements the TravelHomeRemote interface. That object does communicate with the TravelAgentBean. TravelAgentBean tries to get the Home interface (CabinHomeRemote) for the CabinBean. Result: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.titan.cabin.CabinHomeRemote

            Why can't this class be found?

            * Is it because my jboss.xml or other descriptor is messed up?
            * Is it because I'm supposed to set a classpath to the deployment directory?
            * Am I supposed to do more than just copy the jar files to the deployment directory?

            I'm at my wits' end on this.

              The JBoss Documentation has a section on running the examples from the O'Reilly EJB book where you got the CabinBean example. Apparently some tweaks are necessary to run these under JBoss. If you haven't checked this already, it might help.
