    Session bean in jar 1 can't access entity bean in jar 2 alth

    soulreaper

      Hello Folks

      I have a rather basic question concerning the deployment of EJB3 beans. My application consists of three projects: shopdemo-data, shopdemo-business and shopdemo-web, all packaged within their own jars (or war for the web package). I have packaged all three of those archives inside one ear which contains the following application.xml file in the META-INF directory.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
      http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd">
       <display-name>shopdemo</display-name>
       <module id="myeclipse.1168274010125">
       <web>
       <web-uri>shopdemo-web.war</web-uri>
       <context-root>/shopdemo</context-root>
       </web>
       </module>
       <module id="myeclipse.1168274038515">
       <ejb>shopdemo-business.jar</ejb>
       </module>
       <module id="myeclipse.1168274010281">
       <ejb>shopdemo-data.jar</ejb>
       </module>
      </application>


      My session beans in the business project get properly deployed as well as the entity beans in the data project. They are all registered as expected. (imo)

      The Problem comes when i access my stateless session beans which in turn try to access the entity beans. When i do that, i get the following error:
      Exception in thread "main" javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown entity: de.iplabs.shop.data.Product

      So i guess the entity beans from the data package are not know to the session beans in the buisiness package.

      Btw... when i put the entity beans and the session beans in one .jar inside the .ear, they find each other as expected.

      I hope anybody can help me out. thanks in advance.
