Help for jboss-structure.xml to eliminate jaxb-xjc.jar probl

[vavasthi]

I have a .ear file that contains a war (containing a rest webservices using resteasy), a jar file containing ejbs. Since the project pulls in jaxb-xjc.jar file and that results in IllegalStateException because of the jaxb-xjc.jar file containing nested directories with sub directories also containing META-INF and MANIFEST files. I read on another that I should use jboss-structure.xml file to get around the problem and I tried to do that. Here is the xml file that I have written.

<structure>
 <context>
 <path name=""/>
 <metaDataPath>
 <path name="META-INF"/>
 </metaDataPath>
 <classpath>
 <path name="" suffixes=".jar" />
 </classpath>
 </context>
 <context>
 <path name="Myejb.jar"/>
 <metaDataPath>
 <path name="META-INF"/>
 </metaDataPath>
 <classpath>
 <path name="" suffixes=".jar" />
 </classpath>
 </context>
</structure>

With this change, when I try to deploy the ear file, I don't file the persistence manager which is defined in persistence.xml file in Myejb.jar file. Can anybody point me to what I am doing wrong.

Can you post that log/exception stacktrace which shows the persistence.xml is not found?

Here is the exception. BTW, I am using jboss 5.1.0 GA

Do you really need that jaxb-xjc.jar file in your application packaging? If not the easiest approach is to remove it.

In the meantime, i'll give this a try locally to see what's the expected behaviour with the jboss-structure.xml that you posted.
