BMP Deployment Problems

[rocketman]

Hi,

As an absolute beginner... here is my problem...

I am trying to deploy a BMP Entity Bean within JBoss 2.4.3. Having completed my Home, Remote and Bean classes - together with a ejb-jar.xml file, I create a jar file called user.jar from within the directory where my compiled classes were. All classes, together with the contents of the META-INF directory (the ejb-jar.xml file) were successfully placed in a jar.

Once I deployed the jar to the /deploy directory and started up the JBoss server, I received this error...

----- and so on and so on

Does anyone know what's up with this?? Have I jar'ed up the file incorrectly or completely stuffed up the ejb-jar.xml syntax (see below)???

---- ejb-jar.xml file --------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>BMPUser</ejb-name>
com.crmworkshop.ms.user.ejb.UserHome
com.crmworkshop.ms.user.ejb.User
<ejb-class>com.crmworkshop.ms.user.ejb.UserBean</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Bean</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.lang.Integer</prim-key-class>
False

</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>
<container-transaction>

<ejb-name>BMPUser</ejb-name>
<method-name>"*"</method-name>

<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>
-------- end of ejb-jar.xml file

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem.

Does anyone actually use BMP Entity Beans??? Cause there ain't anything written about them with regards to JBoss.

Abe,
I've used them with no trouble. Your ejb-jar.xml looks ok with the exception of the quotes in
<method-name>"*"</method-name>
but I would not think that that would cause the deployment problem. Therefore, I would look at the jar.
