How to integrate a sar of Hibernate in a JBoss EAR

[moghrabi]

Hello,

I try to use Hibernate deployed as a SAR in a JBoss application (EAR).

So all the libraries needed have been put into the $JBoss_home/server/all/lib. I build the Sar and the Jar. The 2 archives are correct because I can use them well when they are not deployed in the same EAR.

When I try to pack them in a EAR, it doesn't work well. I got the following ERROR :

17:06:26,250 ERROR [STDERR] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: hibernate not bound

In fact my hibernate SAR is not deployed. I don't understand why.

Here is the composition of my EAR :

Hibernate.ear :
/Hibernate.jar
/hibernate.sar
/META-INF/application.xml
/META-INF/jboss-app.xml
/META-INF/Manifest.mf

Here is my file application.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application>
 <display-name>Hibernate</display-name>
 <module>
 <ejb>Hibernate.jar</ejb>
 </module>
</application>

Here's my jboss-app.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-app>
 <loader-repository>hibernate:loader=Hibernate.ear</loader-repository>

 <module>
 <service>hibernate.sar</service>
 </module>

</jboss-app>

Does someone look at something wrong ?

I succeed to make it work and I don't know how.

In fact, I named the directory META-INF in minuscule instead of capital letter. When I renamed it with capital letters, it has worked.

It's a strange behaviour

It's not "strange behaviour", it's the spec.

How on earth could renaming the META-INF directory follow the spec?

I am having the same problem with the EAR not deploying the SAR's it contains on 4.0.2.

Tried everything, and if I have to go to the point of renaming the META-INF directory everytime I would rather switch app servers.

Because the spec says the folder is to be called 'META-INF', if you use lower case that is effectively a different folder name.
