trying to deploy tomcat examples

[tbryant]

Hello all -

This is my first foray into app servers. I installed JBoss 3.0.0 with Tomcat 4.0.3. I started the server and everything loaded fine. I went to http://localhost:8083 and could see the console.

My next step was to try and war the examples app in the catalina/webapps directory. I war'ed it using a command gathered from a previous posting. "jar -cvf example.war ." while I was in the /catalina/webapps/examples directory. I then copied the war file to the /server/default/deploy directory, and when jboss attempted to load the war file, it gave this exception:

"23:27:48,487 ERROR [MainDeployer] could not start deployment: file:/C:/jbosstom/
server/default/deploy/example.war
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NamingException: ejb-ref: ejb/Account, no ejb-link match, use jndi-name in jboss-web.xml)"

What the heck does this mean? I haven't a clue. Is there some sort of configuration that I can change to deploy the tomcat examples successfully? I've read a lot of postings that talk around this problem but never answer it.

Also, is there a place that a novice can go to learn about creating their own web.xml files for new webapps that we want to deploy? Or can we just copy a web.xml file from another web app?

Any help on these would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis

you might want to try the struts project at http://jakarta.apache.org. They have quite a few examples about war files and web.xml etc.

Tomcat's example include an ejb-ref in web.xml
but it doesn't include the ejbs.
Either remove the ejb declaration from web.xml
or implement the ejbs as described in the tomcat docs.

Thanks Adrian, you are a sharp guy/gal. Where do I learn about deploying the EJBs in Tomcat? That would be a good exercise...
