errors deploying an EAR with EJBs 2.1 into JBoss AS5

marina_p1 Apr 20, 2010 2:51 PM

Hi,

I'm porting an application with EJBs 2.1 from Weblogic9 to JBoss AS5. I have made some of the changes like adding jboss.xml descriptors to EJBs and fixing application.xml of the EAR, but there are still problems when deploying the EAR. Here is a summary of the the latest error I'm getting when the first EJB is being deployed by JBoss (I will add the full stack trace at the end of the message):

<pre>

....

Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: Failed
to parse schema for nsURI=, baseURI=null, schemaLocation=http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_2_4.dtd

....

Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: -1:-1 94:3 The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

</pre>

Is this a problem with parsing the jboss_2_4.dtd itself? or is it something worng with my descriptors for the EJB?

When I try to validate the jboss_2_4.dtd in an XML editor it does complain about a syntax error at line 94:1 , which is the beginning of the first <!ELEMENT ..> declaration, although it looks fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!

1. Re: errors deploying an EAR with EJBs 2.1 into JBoss AS5

Hello, Marina!

I have the same problem and wondering that the problem is parsing jboss_2_4.dtd itself... Hope you have found a solution to resolve that, haven't you? Could you please share it with us?

I've found one solution - that's answer for the same question on other site: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2682957/errors-deploying-an-ear-with-ejbs-2-1-into-jboss-as5
Does anybody have some other solution?

Hi, Vitaliy,

A solution that worked for me was to use a different DTD for jboss.xml descriptor:
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 4.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_4_0.dtd">

There was one other problem that I had too, with the descriptors: after editing them in Eclipse or some XML editor, sometimes some garbage characters were added before the first ligitimate character in the files - I've used the HHDEditor tool to ferret those out and remove.

good luck,
Marina

Wow JBoss 4.0.5 allows some surrogates to run
I found that schema was defined as 2.4 but actually there were elements used in jboss.xml deployment descriptor that were not supported by 2.4 but do by 4.0 - so after the schema version update it just began to be compartible with JBoss 5.1.0
