HELP - noclassdeffounderror on jboss 3.0.4 startup

[giovanisalvador]

Hi all, i have a question

I have developed and packaged several jar files containing ejb´s, that call each other.
For example, jar1 contains ejb´s that call ejb´s on jar2. But i do not have packaged in jar1 the home and remote interfaces (it´s implementations, of course) of the jar2. When i startup jboss 3.0.4 i have a "noclassdeffounderror" beacuse ejb´s on jar1 call ejb´s on jar2.
But all ejb´s startup and in the execution of the application no error occurs.
How can i solve this problem?
- Do i have to create a jar client for each ejb and put them in the lib of the default server?
If yes, hoe can i create thios jar and what does it contain?
- Do i have to package home and remote of each ejb jar1 calls? (That´s not good, imagine when i change a method, have to compile it al again).

Any idea?
i hope made myself clear.

Thanks in advance

Did you include in your manifest file for every jar the Class-Path element poiting to which other archives it needs ?

Pope, how can i do this? Are you talking about ejb-ref tag in the Deployment Descriptor?

When you build a jar using the jar tool you may provide it with the MANIFEST.MF file to be used for that jar.
(more on this in SUN documentation -> Tools).
The MANIFEST.MF file may contain in the Main-Attributes section (see the docs...) the Class-Path: jar1 jar2...
