Error: SessionBeanInterceptor.postConstruct

[reind]

After adding a jboss-app.xml file to my ear/META-INF/ dir I've started seeing the following error when starting jboss 4.2.2:

java.lang.RuntimeException: @javax.annotation.PostConstruct annotated method has the wrong signature - public void org.jboss.seam.intercept.SessionBeanInterceptor.postConstruct(javax.interceptor.InvocationContext)
at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptor.InterceptorInfoRepository$AnnotationInitialiser.resolveLifecycleMethod(InterceptorInfoRepository.java:741)

The javadoc says:

The method MUST NOT have any parameters except in the case of EJB interceptors in which case it takes an InvocationC ontext object as defined by the EJB specification.

http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/annotation/PostConstruct.html

So, it looks ok (well, obviously, as it worked without the jboss-app.xml). Any ideas what it could be? Perhaps related to the jars I've packaged?

activation-1.1.jar
antlr-2.7.6.jar
asm-2.2.jar
asm-attrs-1.5.3.jar

My jboss-app.xml looks like:

<!DOCTYPE jboss-app
PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD J2EE Application 4.2//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_4_2.dtd">

<jboss-app>
 <loader-repository>
 seam.jboss.org:loader=test.ear
 </loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

Yes. Most of those jars are in the app server. Use seam-gen to generate a skeleton project or use an example to see what libraries you should package in your ear.

Hi Pete, I'm very grateful for your reply. I've significantly paired down the jars that I'm packaging:

asm-2.2.jar
asm-attrs-1.5.3.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-el-1.0.jar
commons-fileupload-1.0.jar
commons-lang-2.1.jar
commons-validator-1.3.1.jar
hibernate-validator-3.0.0.GA.jar
jboss-el-2.0.0.GA.jar
jboss-seam-mail-2.0.0.GA.jar
jboss-seam-ui-2.0.0.GA.jar
jsf-facelets-1.1.14.jar
oro-2.0.8.jar
richfaces-api-3.1.2.SP1.jar
richfaces-impl-3.1.2.SP1.jar
richfaces-ui-3.1.2.SP1.jar
slf4j-api-1.4.2.jar
slf4j-jdk14-1.3.0.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.4.2.jar
tomahawk-1.1.6.jar
velocity-1.5.jar

But I still get this error

ObjectName: jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=jboss-seam-2.0.0.GA.jar
 State: FAILED
 Reason: java.lang.RuntimeException: @javax.annotation.PostConstruct annotated method has the wrong signature - public void org.jboss.seam.intercept.SessionBeanInterceptor.postConstruct(javax.interceptor.InvocationContext)

What else can I try?

[pmuir]

Are you sure you aren't deploying an extra copy of the ejb3 api? thats what it looks like to me.

Pete,

That was it, we were using another 3rd party jar that I didnt mention that, for some reason, had it's own javax.interc
eptor.InvocationContext.class that was getting loaded first.

Works now. Thanks so much for your help.
