Help- Error in ejb-jar.xml for Entity Bean Attribute: expect

[smehta]

Hello all

I am trying to upgrade from JBoss 2.2 to 3.21. In order to speed up performance, I have changed our EJBs to use local-home and local but am running into some error conditions.

While deploying my entity beans I get an "Expected one home tag Error" and have descibed the exception below -

Here is an excerpt of my ejb-jar.xml

What I can see from DD, yoy have two beans in realtionship, and bothe uses each other.
Also both beans beans are in same JVM, Thoughu you you rae usinf local home and local remote object in tags but for reference you are using ejb-ref, which should be <ejb-local-ref>.
And similarly make sure since your are using local interface make sure yor ejb-ref-name is like ejb/AttributeBeanLocal provided you have "java:comp/env/ejb/AttributeBeanLocal" while creating yr bean.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your input.

I changed my ejb-jar to look like

Is there something I need to take care of when I have these 2 beans in relationship?

Originally our system was using JBoss 2.2 and using home and remote interfaces.Although
our application worked fine, the speed of it was quite slow.
I was tasked with looking into upgrading to 3.2.1 and also to see if local object reference
would improve performance.

After making thc changes you suggested, I still get the following exceptions when I
try to deploy my Bean -
