EJB deployer not initialising, and getting upset about non-e

[jihnd]

hello

i've installed jboss, and i've got oracle xe as my datasource configured too. i'm using jdk 6 & jre 6 and i'm running win xp pro sp2. i've been tring to deploy an ejb jar, but when i place it in my deploy foldder, nothing happpens, my cmd line does not register it. i've put sample .ear files in the directory and it gets registered/triesto deply but nothing with my jar files.

bizzarely when i unzip my jar files in the deploy directory (to check i've got everythin in them) - then i get errror messsages eg.

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@ec397f54 { url=file:/C:/JBOSS/server/default
/deploy/ejb/com/AVman/Audiorec/AVmanRemote.class }

.class
altDD: null

but now what's happening when i start jboss with nothing extra in my deploy directory are these messages:

as well as the other error messages when i unzip a jar into the deploy directory

firstly, the problem files my new error messages refer to, i cannt find in the deploy directory (ie. thumbs.db)

and from what i can decipher, i do not have a deployer, or it doesnt initialise? how can i verify and resolve this?

from my searches, its once been mentioned java6 being a problem? but my hunch is that its the deployer?

any ideas?

What does the jar contain? Does it have a META-INF folder with ejb-jar.xml file?

As far as the Desktop.ini and thumbs.db files are concerned, these usually show up as "hidden" files. Looks like the deploy folder has these files. Go to your windows folder options and enable the option to see hidden files. Then delete these files from the deploy folder

jaikiran, thanks, i don't have aan ejb-jar.xml file. i'm referring to the bill burke ejb3 book and contained examples, and there is no ejb-jar.xml file there;

so i googled ejb3 jarstructure and came across this post; http://www.jboss.org/?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=103680
which states it is not needed if you're using annotations which i am

so then i reviewed my jar file structure and found that my persistence.xml file (which i believe is the only configuration file needed in the jar) was misplaced

reshuffled and built a new jar and hey presto, it's recognised!

(recongised by a scrolling of "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" errors in the cmd line, but hey, it's recognised, it's progress!)

thanks for the tip off :)
