sar inside EAR not starting up

[axismundi]

I have a simple service.sar residing redirectly in myapp.ear.

The sar is not being deployed and I don't understand why.
I cannot even find an exception in log-file.

Any hint?

You will have to add a jboss-app.xml in the META-INF folder of the ear and mention the sar file in it. Here's an example:

<jboss-app>

 <module>
 <service>myApp.sar</service>
 </module>

</jboss-app>

where myApp.sar is at the root of the ear file.

ty, that's not mentioned in the JBoss-docs and neither in the HelloWorld-example.

My MBean definition looks like this:


so what exactly is required in the tag ?

both "importStartupService" and "myservice.sar" (name of the folder of the exploded sar directly under the ear-folder) appear not to work.

Now I get a CNF, even thou the class is existing the sar-archive:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: pkg.ImportStartupService

Any idea what's going on here?

[axismundi]

I fixed it and the sar is deployed successfully.

Now how can I change the order the archives are deployed without modifying the global URLDeploymentScanner defined in conf/jboss-server.xml ?

The problem is that the SAR depends on the deployed EJB-archive.

I suppose I need some declaration, but what is the syntax to specify an archive withing the same EAR ?

Excellent! Ty.
That's much better than starting a thread in the MBean to wait for the EJB-archive to finish deployment!

[axismundi]

But why does this not work for a WAR-archive?
I can successfully query the war-deployment on JMX via JMX Agent View.

However, when I add this to the depends-list like

<depends>jboss.management.local:J2EEApplication=app.ear,J2EEServer=Local,j2eeType=WebModule,name=web.war</depends>

then the SAR is never being started up!
What is the probllem here?

Sorry, i haven't tried it with a war file.
