Error deploying EAR in Embedded JBoss

[vtatai]

Hello,

I've been trying to deploy an EAR in JBoss Embedded (using 6.0.0.Final), and I am getting the following error:

{code}org.jboss.embedded.api.DeploymentException: org.jboss.deployers.client.spi.IncompleteDeploymentException: Summary of incomplete deployments (SEE PREVIOUS ERRORS FOR DETAILS):
DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:

At first I thought that this was a dependency issue, but after adding / excluding several dependencies from maven I managed to get some different error messages but in the end it still doesn't work.

Are there any extra dependencies that needed to be added? I've been using just jboss-as-depchain (as I've seen in the example for a SLSB), but I am not really sure if I should add for instance jboss-kernel or other jboss-microcontainer deps.

Any help appreciated,

Victor

Just as a quick note, I solved this - there were some extra JBoss dependencies being added inside the ShrinkWrap archive since I was scanning the classpath for JARs to add them. The error message though was not helpful at all.

Hi Victor,

I tried myself to deploy an EAR in Embedded JBoss 6 final but failed (http://community.jboss.org/thread/162204).

Could you please post your ?maven?-Skript on how you managed it...

My pom.xml isn't really that different from the one at:

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossEmbeddedASQuickstartandRunnableExample

Unlike what you are doing at http://community.jboss.org/thread/162204 , I am running the tests using the actual JBossASEmbeddedServer, not just the EJB container. What made it easier for me was actually building upon the example, progresssively adding some of my stuff and making sure it was still working (the example actually works with JBossAS 6 once you fix some compilation problems caused by ShrinkWrap API changes).

One thing that IMO you have to be careful is in the EJB shrinkwrap module to just add your JARs and not some other deps (specially not JavaEE ones), since that is going to give you some very weird exceptions which are pretty hard to figure out.
