SessionBean not deployed, remote not bound

[giaulo]

Hi, i'm developing a ejb3 app with a session bean, a remote interface and a stand alone client.
I use Netbeans 5.5 with jboss4.0.4 bundled and my ear package is succesfully builded and deployed.
But when I put the .ear package in another Jboss4.0.4 server (with all configuration), only the client
is deployed:

10:41:44,899 INFO [EARDeployer] Init J2EE application: file:/home/giulio/Informatica/Sistemi_Middleware/jboss-4.0.4.GA-clustered/server/all/deploy/AddressBook.ear
10:41:44,996 INFO [ClientDeployer] Client ENC bound under: AddressBook-app-client
10:41:45,161 INFO [EARDeployer] Started J2EE application: file:/home/giulio/Informatica/Sistemi_Middleware/jboss-4.0.4.GA-clustered/server/all/deploy/AddressBook.ear

Instead of:

[NamingHelper] JNDI InitialContext properties:{java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory,java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces}

12:32:36,790 INFO [EARDeployer] Started J2EE application: file:/home/giulio/Informatica/Sistemi_Middleware/JBoss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/deploy/AddressBook.ear

The application can't bound the remote interface, as I can see from JNDIView list():

+- AddressBook-app-client (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

Instead of:

+- AddressBook (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- SessionBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- remote (proxy: $Proxy73 implements interface ejb.SessionRemote,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBObject)
+- UserTransaction (class: org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ClientUserTransaction)
+- AddressBook-app-client (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

Why this happens?
Please help me!

Please post the contents of your application.xml and the output of the following command:

jar -tf AddressBook.ear

Also any specific reason for using 4.0.4 version of JBoss? JBoss-4.2.2 GA is the latest stable release with EJB3 support.

By the way, as far as i remember, 4.0.4 required additional EJB3 patches to be applied for EJB3 support. Have you done that?

This is the output of tar -tf jar -tf AddressBook.ear :

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
jar/
AddressBook-app-client.jar
AddressBook-ejb.jar
META-INF/application.xml
META-INF/jboss-app.xml

Also any specific reason for using 4.0.4 version of JBoss? JBoss-4.2.2 GA is the latest stable release with EJB3 support.

Because I've a cluster of hosts with this version (4.0.4GA)

By the way, as far as i remember, 4.0.4 required additional EJB3 patches to be applied for EJB3 support. Have you done that?

I've installed it from the installer, and the "all" configuration support the EJB3 as I've read during the installation.
My application.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application version="5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd">

 <module>
 <java>AddressBook-app-client.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <ejb>AddressBook-ejb.jar</ejb>
 </module>
</application>

And jboss-app.xml:

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

(this files are generated by Netbeans5.5)

I've solved migrating to 4.2.2.GA, but I can't believe that I've lost so much time with this problem...
With 4.2.2 everything magically runs.
