    ClassNotFoundException for entities being referenced from session beans

    mvecera

      Hello,

       

      I have an ear with two ejb modules (one contains entities and second session beans). Session beans depends on entities but AS7 tries to deploy the ejb module with session beans first which fails with ClassNotFoundException. I tried that with CR1 which should have been fixed. What is the situation with that?

          Can you post the full stack trace, and details of exactly how the classes are packaged?

            Hello,

             

            attached is an ear and sources to reproduce the issue. Simply start standalone and place ear.ear in deployments directory. I even tried jboss-deployment-structure.xml to explicitely turn off isolated deployments but it did not help. Setting module dependencies in the same file does not help either. It seems like a JIRA candidate...

             

            Here is the stack trace:

              You can move your domain.jar in lib of your ear, remove reference of domain.jar from application.xml & deploy it. It will work.

               

              packaging like :

              ear.ear

                   + ---- lib

                   |       |------- commons-lang-2.4.jar

                   |       |------- domain.jar

                   |

                  +----- META-INF

                  |       +-- application.xml (jboss-deployment-structure.xml & other files)

                  |

                  + ---- engine.jar

              will work.

                Thanks for your tip, this really helped. However, isn't it sort of workaround? Shouldn't it work in the original form as well?

                  Packaging I mentioned above is a standard according to Java EE5 specification, it's not a workaround, and according to it, helper classes should go in lib directory of application. From EJB3 onwards, your entities are pojo classes, not entity beans as such it was in EJB2.x & should go in lib directory. You should not add them as ejb module in application.xml. While deploying in AS7, you can have jar deployed alongside your engine.jar but then you'll need to add Dependencies in the manifest of engine.jar as a dependent module. Better way is to just put them in lib directory as classes in lib directory will be automatically available to engine.jar.
