JBoss ESB 4.2.1 server libs

[viniciuscarvalho]

Just a dummy question here. I'm using jboss-esb-4.2.1 server since the installation of the esb on a jboss as 4.2.1 with jboss-messaging 1.4.0SP1 caused a lot of version problems (I'm still thankful for the support here that helped me to solve it).
But, the server version, seems to be missing a few libs (that I configure on my IDE):
a few that I missed:

jboss-ejb3.jar from ejb3.depoyer (which is not there)
jnp-client from the client libs

What happened to them? I'm using those libs from another jboss installation, but I'm affraid I get another version problem nightmare.

Best regards

Well, the jbossesb-server does not deploys ejb3...
Really running out of options here...

Sorry all for the message spam.
But it's really frustrating trying to get jboss esb to work. I've risk a lot on our project just to get it working, and yet, everytime I think I solve an issue, another rise. It's such a nightmare :(

JBossESB standalone, when deployed on a jboss 4.2.0, it deploys my ejb, my jsr 181 ws, but, the messaging is not working :( I get all that versioning problems with jboss-remoting and jboss-messaging (I've tried jboss-messaging from 1.4.0 to 1.4.0SP3 none work)

Getting the server version (the 115mb one ;) ) It simply does not deploy any ejb3. It's missing a lot of libs, and although in this version I can send messages through jms clients, it does not deploy my webservices.

Is there a reasonable (not asking for simple) way to get ESB to work with EJB3 + JSR181 WS + Messaging?

All samples are using war files to deploy their WS.

Best regards

Hi Vinicius,

You can install:

1 - JbossAs 4.2.1.GA
2 - JbossMessaging 1.4.0.GA
3 - JbossWs 2.0.0.GA
4 - JbossEsb 4.2.1.GA (not server version)

I am using this versions here with success.
Thanks

Thanks claudio, I'm trying this right now, hope everything works, cuz so far, one config works messaging but not ws, other ws but not messaging.
Really would be glad to create a wiki page with detailed instructions for others...

The server is not meant to install EJB3. If you need them then you should go with the JBossAS installation.

The ESB Server is not meant to be a replacement for JBossAS. If you want more than is shipped with the ESB Server, then you should go with JBossAS. Currently we support AS 4.2.1. Support for the next release of AS that includes the latest versions of JBM, JBossWS etc. will be available in January. Using the CP branch of ESB should help you now though.

Mark, the problem I believe lies in the readme.txt, there are a quite few places also that points that one should use jboss 4.2.0 not 4.2.1. After packing this:

JBoss 4.2.1
JbossWS 2.0.0
Jboss messaging 1.4.0SP3

I finally got it working, the bus is getting messages from both jms and soap listeners. I still have a few questions regarding the body content and the payload of the messages. I'm trying to figure it out, docs are not help much sorry :(. I can imagine how much work you guys are putting on it. I hope docs improve a bit :) It is still bit confusing on how the Body.DEFAULT_LOCATION is fulfilled. I'm setting values on it, and on later actions, It does not return the values I've set :(

Best regards

Are you using the ESB trunk? Did you download the ESB 4.2.1 binary? Or are you using some other branch?

[viniciuscarvalho]

I'm using the 4.2.1 binary now :)

[marklittle]

The binary is not necessarily using all of the latest releases of other projects because they weren't available when it was produced. The SOA Platform is the main stable product which will use all of the stable (and supported) releases of the other projects.
