Another EJB3 Preview 5 deployment error: No Class Loader fou

[bill.burke]

How is this packaged? Can you reproduce the problem by creating a package with only those classes?

Thanks

Here is the structure of the EJB3 file:

meta-inf\Manifest.mf
meta-inf\hibernate.properties
Actor.class
ActorPK.class
BasicQuieries.class
Category.class
LoadStudioBean.class
LoadStudioBeanInterface.class
log4j.properties
Movie.class
Studio.class

I suspect it's an error on my part...

Thank you!

Bill,

I followed up on your suggestions. I created an .EJB3 file with just the ActorPK and Actor classes, and checked the structure of the .EJB3 file.

Bottom line:

First, the structure of the .EJB3 file was incorrect.

Here is the correct structure for the EJB3 file:

meta-inf\Manifest.mf
meta-inf\hibernate.properties
com\test\hactors\Actor.class
com\test\hactors\ActorPK.class
com\test\hactors\BasicQuieries.class
com\test\hactors\Category.class
com\test\hactors\LoadStudioBean.class
com\test\hactors\LoadStudioBeanInterface.class
com\test\hactors\Movie.class
com\test\hactors\Studio.class

After that I encountered a different error: NoClassDefFound for EhCache.

To fix this, I did two things:

(1) add the following line to hibernate.properties:
hibernate.cache.provider_class=org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider

(2) copy ehcache1.1.jar from the Hibernate 3.0 download bundled (the release dated 31 March 2005) to C:\jboss-4.0.1sp1\server\all\deploy\ejb3.deployer

Thank you very much for the pointers you gave to me, as you can see they "did the trick".

I'd like to correct a misconception I introduced in my previous reply. In that reply, I stated I had to take additional steps to use EhCache.

I am currently using Preview 5. However, the documentation for Preview 4 tells you that the hibernate.properties file needs to contain this value:

hibernate.cache.provider_class=org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider;

I had used this value successfully with Preview 4, and simply failed to retain it when I upgraded to Preview 5.

I am now using this value again on Preview 5 with no difficulties.
