Migrating to AS7

[fabboco]

Hi everybody,

I am migrating an AS6 application to AS7.

My EJBs use a custom library which is packaged into the jar file.

When I deploy the ear file I get the error:

...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/myPackage/MyClass
...

So I have modified the jboss-deployment-structure.xml as follows

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
    <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="javax.faces.api" slot="1.2" export="true" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.logging" export="true" />
            <module name="org.dom4j" export="true" />
        </dependencies>

        <resources>
            <resource-root path="MyLibrary.jar" />
        </resources>

    </deployment>

    <sub-deployment name="MyApp.war">
        <exclusions>
            <module name="javax.faces.api" slot="main" />
        </exclusions>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="javax.faces.api" slot="1.2" /> 
        </dependencies>
    </sub-deployment>

    <sub-deployment name="MyApp.jar">
        <dependencies>
            <system>
                <paths>
                    <path name="org.myPackage.MyClass" />
                </paths>
            </system>
        </dependencies>
    </sub-deployment>


</jboss-deployment-structure>

But this does't solve the problem.

Can anyone provide some help ?

Thanks

Fab.

If that's the only reason you added "MyApp.jar" in jboss-deployment-structure.xml & if that jar doesn't contain any components (just like a library jar), then you can simply drop "MyApp.jar" in your EAR/lib directory & remove that subdeployment node from that XML & class should be available to your EJB's.

Hi Prasad,

MyApp.jar contains some classes (one of them is MyClass) which are used by my EJBs.

I can't remove the library.

Thanks

If you move MyApp.jar in EAR/lib directory, it will still be available to your EJB's so there won't be any problem there. I'm asking to remove subdeployment node for MyApp.jar in your jboss-deployment-structure.xml. Cause after moving that jar to EAR/lib directory, it doesn't make sense to define it as subdeployment module.
