Where should I place the external jars for an ejb application in JBoss AS 6

[arkhalil]

Hi,

I have an ejb application that uses some external libraries(jars). And I am running JBoss AS 6 with all configuration:

./run.sh -c all -b 0.0.0.0

I have placed these under jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/all/lib. But I was unable to add my ejb application to the server

Where should I place these jars in all server configuration?

Thanks to all.

You mean jars that you don't want to package in your application?

What do you mean by add the ejb application to the server? Are you talking about some IDE?

[arkhalil]

Yh, I have jars that I don't want to package withing my ejb.

When I try to deploy my ejb application from the admin-console it cann't find the those external jars.

You'll have to manually place those extra jars in the JBOSS_HOME/server/<servername>/lib folder. You can't do it through admin-console.

Yh, You are right. I have placed those jars manually in JBOSS_HOME/server/<servername>/lib folder through scp command. And I verified their existence there. But why these server dosn't find those libs? Is anything further needed on the application side? Thanks you.

Can it be that you didn't restart JBoss after adding the jar files to the lib directory? It's only the deploy directories that supports hot deploy.

But I have restarted the JBoss AS 6 after copying the jars to JBOSS_HOME/server/all/lib.

Can you elaborate on what that means? Are you seeing any exceptions or errors? If yes, please post the entire exception stacktrace.

[welle]

In that case I do not have a clue, sorry!

[arkhalil]

It is ok. Thanks to all.

The following are exception shown on the admin-console:

Can you verify that the class "com.sanmar.exception.ApplicationException" is present in any of the jar files that are put in the lib directory?

[arkhalil]

I have verified that. It is present inside sanmar.com.jar

[nickarls]

Any classpath entries in the ejb manifest shouldn't be able to interfere, right?

[arkhalil]

There are no classpath entries for jars in the MANIFEST.MF file!

Hi,

as you used "scp", I assume that the JBoss is running on a remote linux server? Did you check file permissions? E.g. do they have the same owner as the JBoss jars?

Best regards
