EJB3Trail.ear fails on 4.0.3RC1

[sventura]

I was able to build and run duke's bank ear on this release but EJB3Trail.ear both binary download and compiled from source result in the following exception :


org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Failed to find module file: entities.par

mm, this does not happen if the installer is used to install jboss.

[normann]

So people not using the installer should do what?

I'm personally trying to deploy on a oldfashioned textconsole-capable linux server, so the JBoss installer is not for me and I'd like to play with the EJB3Trail application but I can't.

[onyii5119]

I got the same exception. I even tried to use the installer to install JBoss on Linux kernel version 2.4.x but also got an exception during the installation.

Does any one why that should happen or a way to solve the problem?

[evan3107]

I'm getting the exact same error message with the same version running on Windows XP.

"Failed to find module file: entities.par"

I checked EJB3Trail.ear and the file is there. Was anyone able to resolve this?

Thanks,
Evan

You receive this error because you do not have installed the ejb3 container.

follow those steps:
1. go to this page and follow the steps (http://docs.jboss.com/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/installing.html)

!!! USE the ALL CONFIGURATION, this installation procedure doesn't work on my DEFAULT CONFIGURATION !!!

2. Then copy the EJB3Trail.ear to the %jboss_home%\server\all\deploy\ directory

3. and then run the server if it not already running (run -c all)

4. now, enjoy :-) http://localhost:8080/EJB3Trail/

From my short experience, I recomend 4.0.2+EJB-3.0_RC2 over 4.0.3RC1 even if manual install is required. This combination incorporates a stricter check on entity contraints as @NotNull and @Length.

Be caution if dowgrading (not a downgrade really) since lazy code (as mine) may suddenly fail on 4.0.2 with MarshallException, if so, check for a @Contraint violation.

Steps to manual installation :

download from sf.net

jboss-4.0.2.tar.gz
jboss-EJB-3.0_RC2.zip

untar and unzip (home directory assumed)

read INSTALL.html
rm -fr ~/jboss-4.0.2/server/all/deploy/jboss-hibernate.deployer/
rm -fr ~/jboss-4.0.2/server/all/deploy/jboss-aop.deployer/
cd ~/jboss-EJB-3.0_RC2/lib
cp -fR ejb3-clustered-sfsbcache-service.xml \
ejb3-entity-cache-service.xml \
ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml \
jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer/ \
ejb3.deployer/ \
~/jboss-4.0.2/server/all/deploy
cp jboss-xb.jar ~/jboss-4.0.2/server/all/lib
