missing dependency issues on multiple jars

[armahdi]

I have a bit of a large or complex project. In the ear I have 2 ejb jars, 2 rars and one war which are subdeployments and besides that there are like some other jars that are dependencies for projects. the 2 ejb jars depend on two jars that use a jar Common-EJB-2.0.jar. this Common-EJB-2.0.jar is in the root of the ear where the rest of the jars and war are also placed. The error that comes when i deploy this ear is:

09:24:38,315 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("deploy") failed - address: ([("deployment" => "RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear")]) - failure description: {"WFLYCTL0180: Services with missing/unavailable dependencies" => [

I was hoping that i could remove the Common-EJB-2.0.jar errors with the above xml but it didnot go away. I would want to understand two things  what do these two lines mean in the above given error:

Is it saying the the RTMManager-XmlAdapter-4.2.5.war is missing BRTManager-DataAccess-4.2.5.jar & RTMlink-DataAccess-4.2.5.jar which in turn are collectively missing Common-EJB-2.0.jar

"jboss.module.resolve.phase.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.RTMManager-XmlAdapter-4.2.5.war\".main.2 is missing [jboss.module.spec.service.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.BRTManager-DataAccess-4.2.5.jar\".main, jboss.module.spec.service.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.RTMlink-DataAccess-4.2.5.jar\".main, jboss.module.spec.service.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.Common-EJB-2.0.jar\".main]",

I do not want to go towards a global module. I might try it but would that be a bad of way of solving this.

And what does this mean:

,"jboss.module.service.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.RTMManager-XmlAdapter-4.2.5.war\".main is missing [module.resolved.service.\"deployment.RTMManagerServices-ear-4.2.5.ear.RTMManager-XmlAdapter-4.2.5.war\".main]",

the war is missing itself as a dependency?

The difference i see in both is jboss.module.resolve.phase(ear.war) is missing jboss.module.spec.service(jar) is missing jboss.module.spec.service(Common-EJB-2.0.jar) and the other one is jboss.module.spec.service is missing : module.resolved.service. and I do not understand these notations.

Could you show an exploded directory structure of the EAR as it is deployed?

[armahdi]

Thanks for your reply Nicklas, That is very simple to answer. I have all the jars and the one war in the root of the ear. along with the library jars that it is complaining as well. Besides that I have a META-INF folder with

[siddejo]

Hi did you resolve this issue? I am facing the same issue now. Could you please help me in resolving this.

[siddejo]

Hi,

ear structure is:

lib

meta-inf

war

jar 1

jar 2

jar 3 (none of the jars are ejb jars)

I have created jboss-deployment-structure.xml, created modules for the 3 jars and 1 war and even for lib

"deployment.<<ear-name>>.ear.<<jar1>>.main.module.xml"

I am not seeing any cause for the issue, so could not figure out why is this happening.

Could not find answer any where. I am using wildfly 9.0.2 version.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
