    Embedded - EJB deployment problems

    pmuir

      I'm seeing two problems currently (apart from hibernate being able to scan for Entities). Both of these were working in my checkout from Friday

      1)

      This is caused by getStandardMetaData assuming that the SERVER_CONFIG_URL system property is set (Embedded doesn't set this). I have worked around this in Embedded bootstrap by setting the property (and adding standardjboss.xml to the bootstrap/conf directory), but I don't know if this is the correct solution.

      2) Having done this, I find that no EJBs from WEB-INF/lib/jboss-seam.jar are being deployed so transaction synchronization fails. This may of course be due to my fix to (1).

          (2) is caused by not having an ejb-jar.xml (or I guess jboss.xml) in jboss-seam.jar. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it is certainly a change from AS 4.2 and other EE servers like Glassfish and OC4J. I will post this in the EJB3 forum.

            The standardjboss.xml should be a property on the JBossEjbParsingDeployer. I have added a standardJBossXmlPath for the standardjboss.xml URL, along with an ignoreMissingStandardJBossXml that can be set to false to allow for use of the JBossEjbParsingDeployer without a standardjboss.xml. A pure ejb3 setup would not need it.

            It would not be due to changes for 1. Most like due to an interaction with the new AnnotationMetaDataDeployer and the Ejb3Deployer. I don't think its processing war libs for ejb deployments.

              Correction, ignoreMissingStandardJBossXml would need to be set to true to allow for a setup without a standardjboss.xml.

                Ok, but I still get the exception. It originates on line 199

                URL configUrl = new URL(configPath);


                and caught and rethrown

                catch (Exception ex)
                 {
                 DeploymentException.rethrowAsDeploymentException(ex.getMessage(), ex);
                 }


                This is without my alteration to embedded bootstrap to set the SERVER_CONFIG_URL and with this xml

                <bean name="JBossEjb2ParsingDeployer" class="org.jboss.deployment.JBossEjbParsingDeployer">

                  Even if I just hack the method not to throw any exception if it can't find standardjboss.xml I get this

                        My apologies, I was getting confused between the test structure and the deployed structure. The correct layout is:

                        jboss-seam.jar has no META-INF/ejb-jar.xml or jboss.xml but does have EJBs in it (in an app deployed to AS we make it an ejb module in application.xml). It is placed on the classpath which is used to boot embedded jboss however its EJBs aren't being picked up. This works in AS 4.2.

                          The AnnotationMetaDataDeployer is not scanning a deployment unless it has a descriptor generated metadata attachment by default. For a pure annotation based deployment you need to set the metaDataCompleteIsDefault property to false in the metadata-beans.xml descriptor:

                           <bean name="AnnotationMetaDataDeployer"
                           class="org.jboss.deployment.AnnotationMetaDataDeployer">
                           <property name="metaDataCompleteIsDefault">false</property>
                           </bean>
                          


                          The deployer will then scan any deployments that have no descriptors.
