EJB3 Installation on 4.0.4.GA

[binario]

Hi all,

I've only previously installed ejb3 stuff on previous versions of JBoss. I want to upgrade my version of jboss and ejb3 to the latest, I downloaded 4.0.4.GA.zip. Now, it comes with a "all", "default" and a "minimal" configuration. It seems to me that ejb3 isn't packaged with any of these configs. Do I have to add something to the config for that?

thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Seemingly the zip download does not contain an ejb3 configuration. If
you install 4.0.4.GA using the installer option rather than zip, you will
be prompted to select a configuration type. From the installer ejb3 (or ejb3-caching which contains tomcat and clustering) are both available.

Note the EJB-3 and EJB3-Caching cinfigurations require JDK5 runtime
and is not a J2EE 1.4 compatible configuration.

Regards,
Shane

Hi you need to re-install ejb3 deployer.
You can find it at this URL : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=132063
you will find a web page on how to install it;
hope that helps.

Hi guys,

that does help, thanks, however going forward, is there any reason that you aren't including it in the zip file? I'd actually like to know what customization is going on in the install.

thanks,
Brian

Because ejb3 is a javaee5 preview tech that won't be avaialble by default until the jboss5 server is released. The jboss-4.0.x zip distribution is the j2ee 1.4 dist. Get the installer code to see what it does:
