jboss-6.0.0.Final: DeploymentException: 'No module with relative path' problem

ebross Dec 29, 2010 7:31 AM

Hello JBoss World,,

Please refer to my previous discussion "DeploymentException: 'No module with relative path' problem". I have just downloaded Jboss-6.0.0.Final and try to run my ear currently running on JBoss-5.1.0-GA without any problem with "persistence.xml". In my previous discusssion (at http://community.jboss.org/thread/160387), I thought the problem was only peculiar to JBoss-6.0.00CR, but jboss-6.0.0.Final continues to throw the same erorr as the following error shows:

12:05:42,291 INFO [PersistenceUnitValueMetaData] iDependOn persistence.unit:unitName=jboss-ejb3-timerservice-mk2.jar#timerdb

[my-ear]

- [lib]

- odmsEJB.jar
- odmsWeb.jar

Anyone facing the same problem?

Thanks

What does your application.xml contents look like?

Hi jaikiran,

Exactly the one I gave at http://community.jboss.org/thread/160387 but here it is:

<application...[too much to type here]>
<display-name>odmsEAR<display-name>
<module>
<ejb>odmsEJB.jar</ejb>
</module>
<module>
<web>
<web-url>odmsWeb.war</web-url>
<context-root> odmsWeb</context-root>
</web>
<module>
</application>

Mind you I have been using it on JBoss-5.0.0 and then Jboss-5.1.0 for the past two year with no problem except with JBoss-6.0.0-CR and now Jboss-6.0.0.Final.

Please also see my workaround at http://community.jboss.org/thread/160387

Thanks

I replied to that other thread. Can you add some more details to that thread, like are you using any IDE to generate that EAR?

Hi jaikirin,

I have seen your response on the “other thread”, but since that was about jboss-6.0.0-CR1which has now been superseded by Jboss-6.0.0.Final – albeit the same problem-- , could we use this thread for all further discussions – if you don't mind – but still use the other thread for reference?

IDE: Eclipse Helios (version: 3.6.1)
OS: Linux (Mandriva 2010)
AS: Jboss-6.0.0.Final

Sure, let's continue the discussion in this thread.

This appears to be a bug to me. For some reason, the odmsJPA.jar is being considered a "module" (i.e. a web, EJB or app client module). Can you please create a JIRA https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS and attach a sample application if possible?

Hi Frank Griffin,

When jaikiran pai suggested that I create a JIRA, I remember sending myself a “todo” note but it seems I had missed and forgotten to create the JIRA. Thanks Frank.

Just wondering about this, is it actually legal to have an EJB JAR in the EAR/lib directory as opposed to directly putting it in the root of the EAR?

Are EJBs inside a jar in the EAR/lib directory supposed to be scanned and started?

No they won't be scanned implicitly. Anything under EAR/lib is plain java libraries unless explicitly specified (like for example as a module via application.xml)

Interesting. I just did a very quick test by just bluntly dumping an EJB JAR in the EAR/lib directory of an app I happened to be working on (JBoss AS 5.1), and see what happened. It seemed the EJBs were being processed here too. It eventually crapped out when it couldn't find the persistence unit referenced by some of the EJBs. (persistence.xml is included in that jar though).

So JBoss AS 5.1 too scans the EJBs in a jar in EAR/lib, but doesn't try to look for the persistence.xml file in that jar's META-INF.
