      Hello
      We have an entity bean with a compound primary key which JBoss fails to create table for during deployment. We are using JBoss 3.0.0, jdk 1.4.0 and MySql. The ejb-jar.xml section for this entity bean looks like this:


      <![CDATA[]]>
      <ejb-name>Role</ejb-name>
      <local-home>com.mobinor.j2ee.userorg.interfaces.RoleLocalHome</local-home>
      com.mobinor.j2ee.userorg.interfaces.RoleLocal
      <ejb-class>com.mobinor.j2ee.userorg.ejb.RoleCMP</ejb-class>
      <persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
      <prim-key-class>com.mobinor.j2ee.userorg.interfaces.RolePK</prim-key-class>
      False
      <cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version>
      <abstract-schema-name>Role</abstract-schema-name>
      <cmp-field >
      <![CDATA[Role name.]]>
      <field-name>role</field-name>
      </cmp-field>
      <cmp-field >
      <![CDATA[Role group.]]>
      <field-name>rolegroup</field-name>
      </cmp-field>
      <cmp-field >
      <![CDATA[User name.]]>
      <field-name>username</field-name>
      </cmp-field>


      The jbosscmp-jdbc.xml section looks like this:


      <ejb-name>Role</ejb-name>
      <create-table>true</create-table>
      <cmp-field>
      <field-name>role</field-name>
      </cmp-field>
      <cmp-field>
      <field-name>rolegroup</field-name>
      </cmp-field>
      <cmp-field>
      <field-name>username</field-name>
      </cmp-field>


      The error message we get during deployment is:

      08:47:39,542 WARN [NestedThrowable] Duplicate throwable nesting of same base type: class org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException is assignable from: class org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException

      Anyone have any idea ?

          You should be getting a nested exception printed. If you are what is the nested exception?

          Also what is the the create table statement? This looks like a database error, meaning you database does not like the autogenerated sql because of some internal db constraint. I suggest you attempt to execute the create table statement directly in your database.

            Hello
            Thank you for your quick answer.

            I tried to execute the create statement directly into mysql, and the statement failed. The create statement is as follows:
            mysql> CREATE TABLE Role (role VARCHAR(255) BINARY NOT NULL, username VARCHAR(255) BINARY NOT NULL,
            -> rolegroup VARCHAR(255) BINARY, CONSTRAINT pk_Role PRIMARY KEY (role, username));

            And the error message was: ERROR 1071: Specified key was too long. Max key length is 500

            Any idea what is wrong with this create statement ?

                  My guess is that you database can not have a primary key longer then 500 bytes. If you database uses 2 bytes for a character, which is fairly common, the VARCHAR(255) is a 510 byte pk. Try changing role column VARCHAR(200).
