EJBTimerService error on JBoss 5.1 start up

[mike.tihonchik]

I am getting the following error while starting JBoss 5.1 - there is no applications deployed to it currently.

DEPLOYMENTS MISSING DEPENDENCIES:
  Deployment "JBossTimerServiceFactory" is missing the following dependencies:
    Dependency "jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService" (should be in state "Create", but is actually in state "** NOT FOUND
Depends on 'jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService' **")
DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:
  Deployment "jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService" is in error due to the following reason(s): ** NOT FOUND Depends on 'jb
oss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService' **

I am pretty sure it has something to do with me trying to "slim/trim" JBoss profile. I read several articles pertaining to this problem, and I tried couple of things, but nothing worked.

I read somewhere that this problem might be solved by putting back "ejb2-timer-service.xml" file back into deploy directory of JBoss (I removed it earlier in my clean up process), however, when I put it back I get the following set of errors:

any help would be appreciated.

Was solved by returning the following xml files into deploy directory:

• ejb2-container-jboss-beans.xml
• ejb-timer-service.xml
• hsqldb-ds.xml

Hi

I just starting to use JBoss5 with HSQLDB2.0.1 rc 3

I'm getting the same behavior without any clean up, all three xmls are in the deploy directory.

This is what I get in the log:
