Newbie: Verification of Enterprise Beans failed

[strunker]

Merry Christmas everybody.

I'm really new to JBoss, but I hope somebody here can help me with my deployment problem.

I have an ear file which contains two jar files (ejb.jar and jdom.jar) and a war-archive (web.war). ejb.jar and web.war both uses classes from jdom.jar. I set the class-path in the manifest.mf, but when I try to deploy the ear-file, I get:

2005-12-26 13:18:29,468 WARN [org.jboss.ejb.EJBDeployer] Verify failed; continuing
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/JDOMException

2005-12-26 13:18:29,471 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/import/home/karsten/Apps/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp6108App.ear-contents/EJB.jar
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Verification of Enterprise Beans failed, see above for error messages.

My ear looks like this:

App.ear
|-- ejb.jar
|-- META-INF
|-- ejb-jar.xml
|-- jboss.xml
|-- MANIFEST.MF
|-- my class files
|-- jdom.jar
|-- web.war
|-- META-INF
|-- MANIFEST.MF
|-- WEB-INF
|-- web.xml
|-- jboss-web.xml
|-- classes
|-- my class files
|-- META-INF
|-- application.xml
|-- MANIFEST.MF


The manifest files of ejb.jar and web.war look like:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_06-b05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Class-Path: jdom.jar

By the way I'm using JBoss 4.0.3SP1

So why can't JBoss find the classes from jdom.jar?
Can anyone help me?
Thanx very much!

No idea?

Your jdom.jar library must be declared in your application.xml, not in in the manifest.

<module>
 <java>jdom.jar</java>
</module>

Thanks for your answer. I tried that, but it didn't work. I get the same error message. Do you have another idea what's going wrong?

I *think* you also need to include the xerces.jar supplied with jdom in your app's classpath.

Have you tried to run your app outside of Jboss, with only jdom.jar on the classpath ?

Thanks very much. It works now.
