EJB 3.1 beans in jars in a war packaged app do not get deployed

[marekdec]

Hi,

I have a simple app, structured more or less as follows:

app.war

META-INF

     ...

WEB-INF

    web.xml

     classes

          TestService.class

     lib

          jarwithejb.jar

               AnotherService.class

Both TestService and AnotherService are annotated with the @Stateful annotation. The thing is, when starting my JBoss AS 6.0.0.M5 only the TestService is recognized as an EJB (EJB 3.1 no-interface view), the one packaged within the jarwithejb.jar gets skipped (note that AnotherService lives within the jarwithejb archive).

According to the http://community.jboss.org/wiki/EJB31inAS600M2 article, both WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/libs/some.jar are valid locations for an EJB.

Am I missing something? Is there any other requirement a jar has to fulfill in order to provide no-interface EJBs?

Thanks for you help,
Marek

Please post the relevant java code of those EJBs and also post the contents of web.xml (I'm mainly interested in the xsd declaration in that xml - It should be 3.0 version of web-app).

And if you have a ejb-jar.xml, please post that too. It should have a 3.1 version of ejb-jar xsd.

Hi,

Here goes the TestService:

package com.mytests.service;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;

@Stateful
public class TestService {
    @PersistenceContext
    EntityManager entityManger;

    public String getText() {
        Category cat = new Category();
        entityManger.persist(cat);

        return null;
    }
}

And here the AnotherService:

package com.mytests.core.dao;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;
@Stateful
public class AnotherService {
    public void getTest() {
        int i = 0;
    }
}

Now the web.xml header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
      version="3.0">
    <display-name>Web Application</display-name>

And I don't use the ejb-jar.xml file.

Does this seem OK?

I just paid a little bit more attention to your first post. Is the lib folder really named "libs"? It should actually be .war/WEB-INF/lib (notice no "s").

Hi Jaikiran,

My mistake, it's called lib of course. Sorry... I'll edit the first post...

Thanks,

Marek

Rest of it looks OK to me.

Please post the output of:

jar -tf jarwithejb.jar

and

jar -tf app.war

Hi Jaikiran,

I found an answer to my problem (thanks to your suggestion). I skipped some files in the structure I posted before as I assumed they were insignificant. I was wrong again. It turns out I put a jboss-scanning.xml to work around the JBAS-8361 issue (richfaces with guava). I must have been blind not to see it before.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your help.

Just for reference, this was my jboss-scanning.xml file:

<scanning xmlns="urn:jboss:scanning:1.0">
<!--
    For JBoss AS 6 integration there is a conflict with guava, and
    google-collections.  JBAS-8361
-->
   <path name="WEB-INF/classes"></path>
   <path name="WEB-INF/lib/guava-r05.jar">
       <exclude name="com.google.common.collect" />
   </path>
</scanning>
{code}

This obviously defines the 'includes' and overrides the default scanning paths. I added the <path name="WEB-INF/lib"></path> tag at the end in order to get JBoss to scan the whole lib directory.
