Why the ear file can not deploy under AS 7.0?

[adrianzuo]

All

I have an ear file names migrate.ear which contains one ejb jar (ejb.jar) and one war file (war.war), if I put the ejb jar to a ejb folder and war file to war folder, the ear can not be depoyed.

If I move the ejb jar to war file out, it can be deployed. Why? Is it the new structuer in the AS 7.0?

Below  structuer can be deployed:

ejb.jar

lib/

lib/util-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

lib/version.jar

META-INF/

META-INF/application.xml

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

war.war

Below structure can not be deployed:

ejb/

ejb/ejb.jar

lib/

lib/util-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

lib/version.jar

META-INF/

META-INF/application.xml

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

war/

war/war.war

What does your application.xml file look like? Does it reflect that the ejb and the war are no longer in the root of the ear?

Hi Daniel

I also change the contnent of the application.xml according to the ear structure.

Below content of the application.xml can be deployed:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<application 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 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">

    </module>

    <module>

        <ejb>ejb.jar</ejb>

    </module>

Below content can not be deployed:

I also change the content of the application.xml according to the ear structure.

Great. I just tried the this and I'm getting the same error I think. This is the error I'm getting:

I named my subdirectories differently but I also tried using the directory names you used.

I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what is going on here.

Thanks for your response, your error is same with mine.

If you have any result, please let me know.

Can you try modifying your application.xml to something like this:

<module>
    <web>
         <web-uri>wardir.war.war</web-uri>
         <context-root>war</context-root>
     </web>
 </module>
 <module>
     <ejb>ejbdir.ejb.jar</ejb>
 </module>

I'm not sure if this is the way it is supposed to work but with this the ear deploys without error.

Hi Daniel

I tried your way, but I met below errors:

And the output of the "jar -tf migrate.ear" is as below:

ejb/

ejb/ejb.jar

lib/

lib/util-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

lib/version.jar

META-INF/

META-INF/application.xml

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

war/

war/war.war

And I tried rename the "ejb" folder to "ejbdir" and "war" folder to "wardir", but it seems no work, the error still exist.

I must have deployed a version without the subdirectories without noticing:( Please ignore my last post and sorry for the confusion.

Any update on this issue?

[beve]

I've just tried this again with the latest build and I'm still getting the same error that you originally reported.

Could you create a jira for this so that it can be tracked and please attatch your example.

Thanks,

/Daniel

Was there a JIRA created for this? This surely looks like a bug.

Done. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2067

According to the EJB 3.1 Specification the following is correct:

ejb.jar

lib/

lib/util-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

lib/version.jar

META-INF/

META-INF/application.xml

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

war.war

JSR-000318 Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 Final Release Specification for Evaluation 3.1 Eval

One thing to note is that some application servers are more lenient, but the above is the correct way to package you archive.
