    EAR + -service.xml ???

      I have two JAR files containing EJBs. One of the JAR file is used by the other so I decided to create an EAR file to group them.

      My problem is that each JAR needs to declare a custom DS. I have created a app1-service.xml and a app2-service.xml files that declares the DS.

      I tried to put them in the ear file, it's not setup (deployment failed because app1DS is not bound

      I tried to put each of them in they respective META-INF directory in the jars but does not work.

      Can somebody explain me how I can declare -service.xml files within an ear file?

      Thanks

        • 1. Re: EAR + -service.xml ???

          Add a jboss-app.xml alongside application.xml

          <jboss-app>

          app1-service.xml

          </jboss-app>

          Then put app1-service.xml in the ear.

            Thans a lot for the explanation. One more question: will JBoss manages the dependencies (I mean first deploy the DS and then deploy the EJB)

            Would'nt be better I declare my JAR in the jboss-app.xml file as well (using sar file but I don't know much about it so far)

              I tried this but does not seem to work :'(

              here my jboss-app.xml:

              <jboss-app>


              debug-jbossmq-service.xml



              jmsdebug-postgres-service.xml



              kp-jbossmq-service.xml



              kp-postgres-service.xml


              </jboss-app>


              Here is my ear :

              jar tf myapp.ear
              META-INF/
              META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
              JMSDebug.jar
              jmsdebug-postgres-service.xml
              debug-jbossmq-service.xml
              myapp.jar
              kp-postgres-service.xml
              kp-jbossmq-service.xml
              META-INF/jboss-app.xml
              META-INF/application.xml

              Then I got this in the log :

              2003-04-17 11:28:44,768 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner] Failed to deploy: org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner$DeployedURL@95193f28{ url=file:/var/jboss/server/default/deploy/myapp.ear, deployedLastModified=0 }

              but jmsdebug-postgres-service.xml is in the ear ...

              • 4. Re: EAR + -service.xml ???

                You are correct.

                The -service.xml only works with unpacked
                deployments for reasons I don't understand
                (probably an oversight).

                You will have to create a sar
                e.g. debug-jbossmq.sar with the following file
                inside (the name is important)

                /META-INF/jboss-service.xml

                This should be a copy debug-jbossmq-service.xml

                  Thanks a lot. I figured that out as well in the meantime.

                  For those who might have the same problem, here is the solution:

                  1/ Create a sar file with only the jboss-service.xml in META-INF (a SAR file is just a JAR file with .sar extension)
                  2/ Craete your jar file and put the sar file inside
                  3/ Create an EAR file with the application.xml describing your modules (i.e. jar)

                  I just tested it and it works quite well. I can provide ant task if necessary (just contact me)

                  Thanks a lot for your help
