How to use ice:menuBar with Seam in an EAR application?

[newlukai]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my application started, but it fails with a NoClassDefFounfError:

11:21:37,140 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=ares.jar
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/icesoft/faces/component/menubar/MenuItem

As you can see this error occurs while the jar is loaded. To create a dynamic menuBar I've to use the above mentioned class in the bean that generaties the menu. The class is in the icefaces-comps.jar which is already in my war file to use the ICEfaces tags.

My problem now is: Where do I've to put the icefaces-comps.jar so that it can be used by the jar and by the war of my application? I don't want to put it twice in my ear.

Here's a short overview over the contents of the ear:

/ares.ear
- META-INF
 application.xml
 jboss-app.xml
- /ares.jar
 + com ... (all the session and entity beans)
 - META-INF
 | ejb-jar.xml
 | persistence.xml
 seam.properties
- /ares.war
 + com ... (resource bundle)
 - WEB-INF
 | - lib
 | | commons-fileupload.jar
 | | el-api.jar
 | | el-ri.jar
 | | icefaces.jar
 | | icefaces-comps.jar
 | | icefaces-facelets.jar
 | | jboss-seam-debug.jar
 | | jboss-seam-ui.jar
 | | selectitems.jar
 | | selectitems-ui.jar
 | components.xml
 | faces-config.xml
 | navigation.xml
 | tomahawk.taglib.xml (I'm currently migrating from tomahawk to ICEfaces)
 | web.xml
 jboss-seam.jar

Hello,
My solution was to move needed JARS to EAR root and register those in META-INF/application.xml.

<application>
<display-name>TrueConcept</display-name>
<description>TrueConcept</description>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>tc3Web.war</web-uri>
</web>
</module>

<module>
<ejb>tc3EJB.jar</ejb>
</module>

<module>
<ejb>tc3LiferayEJB.jar</ejb>
</module>

<module>
<java>jboss-seam.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>icefaces.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>icefaces-facelets.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>icefaces-comps.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>el-api.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>el-ri.jar</java>
</module>

<module>
<java>backport-util-concurrent.jar</java>
</module>

<module>
<java>selectitems-1.1.0rc1.jar</java>
</module>

<module>
<java>ostermillerutils_1_06_00.jar</java>
</module>



</application>

Ops, forgot that Quote is broken, below is my EAR's META-INF/application.xml.

<application>
 <display-name>TrueConcept</display-name>
 <description>TrueConcept</description>
 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>tc3Web.war</web-uri>
 </web>
 </module>
 <module>
 <ejb>tc3EJB.jar</ejb>
 </module>

 <module>
 <ejb>tc3LiferayEJB.jar</ejb>
 </module>

 <module>
 <java>jboss-seam.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>icefaces.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>icefaces-facelets.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>icefaces-comps.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>el-api.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>el-ri.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>backport-util-concurrent.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>selectitems-1.1.0rc1.jar</java>
