Hello!

I am using JBoss Portal 2.7.2 bundle with JBoss 4.2.3 and I have to import EJB3 into it, to get the EJB Timer-Service.

I found this installation guide for JBoss 4.X:

 1. Download EJB 3.0 RC4 - PFD.
 2. Unzip this file.
 3. Copy ejb3.deployer from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 4. Copy ejb3-clustered-sfsbcache-service.xml from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 5. Copy ejb3-entity-cache-service.xml from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 6. Copy ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 7. Copy jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 8. Copy jboss-remoting.jar from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 9. Copy jboss-serialization.jar from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 10. Copy jboss-j2ee.jar from the lib/ directory of the distribution to jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 11. Remove ejb3-persistence.jar from jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 12. Remove hibernate3.jar from jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 13. Remove hibernate-annotations.jar from jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 14. Remove hibernate-entitymanager.jar from jboss-4.0.x/server/all/lib
 15. Remove jboss-aop.deployer/ from jboss-4.0.x/server/all/deploy
 16. Start jboss up with the all configuration run.sh -c all

If you do not want to run with the all configuration, the skip the steps of copying the ejb3-clustered-sfsbcache-service.xml and the ejb3-entity-cache-service.xml

But it is not the correct way for JBoss Portal or do I have to do additional things?

The Console displayed exceptions and the Timer-Service did not run.

Here is a small abstract of these exceptions:
