JBoss 3.2.2GA and application.xml

[rwilson9]

Anyone know why a web project will not publish from eclipse Europe or Ganymede with 3.2.2 GA? I always get the apllication.xml not found error.

I believe (but am not certain) that jboss 4.x is not jee5 compliant for ears and requires an application.xml even though jee5 does not require one.

You are probably using a 1.5 EAR project which does not create an application.xml for you.

I'm trying to create a richfaces 3.2.1 project in Europa. Unless I use Jboss 4.2, I can't select the 2.5 dynamic web module in facets. If don't use 2.5 web module, I can't use faces 1.2. And if I can't use faces 1.2, I can't use 3.2.1 richfaces. Has anybody gotten 3.2.1 to work with Jboss? if so, what were the project facets, java version, etc? I don't know how to solve the application.xml not found problem trying to upgrade to faces 1.2.

To solve the no application.xml file problem, you must create an application.xml file which lists the modules that are being published in the ear.

An example is below:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application
1.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd'>


<display-name>Enterprise Application</display-name>

EnterpriseBean.jar



<web-uri>WebApp.war</web-uri>
<context-root>web</context-root>




I encourage you to look up jee EAR structures. You will most likely read that in jee 5.0 the application.xml is not needed, but jboss 4.2 is NOT jee5 certified and still requires the file.

This is my current understanding of the situation.

some of the xml did not come through.

You write "unless I use JBoss 4.2" indicating you are using something else which makes the faces 1.2 issue occur. What are you using instead ?
