Axis with Jboss, must restart server after redeploy?

[crosscourt]

Hi,

I use axis by putting the axis webapp as axis.war in jboss.

I found that there is a need to restart jboss everytime i redeploy my ejb in order for axis client to be able to connect properly.

Error:


java.rmi.ServerException: EJBException:; nested exception is:
javax.ejb.EJBException: Invalid invocation, check your deployment packaging, method=public abstract tds.interfaces.TDS tds.interfaces.TDSHome.crea
te() throws javax.ejb.CreateException,java.rmi.RemoteException

Actually, you just need to redeploy your Axis layer (the WAR). Axis has a cached copy of the EJB factory class. When you redeploy the EJB, the Axis reference to the EJB is no long valid. This would be the same problem for any WAR. Just "touch" axis.war to redeploy it.

Sorry. I wasn't being very clear on that. In order for an exploded WAR to be redeployed, you must update ("touch") the web.xml in the WAR's WEB-INF (the deployment descriptor). My bad. I assumed you would know what I meant.
