Hello,

I have trouble setting up a sar file. Please note that I'm not too familiar with these king of deployment file yet.

My sar file contains a META-INF/jboss-service.xml file as well as an scheduler_ejb.jar file. The jboss-service.xml file starts a Quartz scheduler (allowing my applications to schedule jobs). Quartz schedules jobs by calling methods of an EJB session bean included in the scheduler-ejb.jar file.

Here is the problem:
- when I deploy my sar file once JBoss is started, everything goes smoothly
- when I start JBoss with the sar file already included in the deploy directory, JBoss throws an exception. Here is the log I receive short after a "Scheduler" session bean is deployed ("Scheduler" being the EJB session bean included in my scheduler-ejb.jar file) :

Deploying SchedulerManager
2005-07-20 11:40:14,718 DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.EjbModule] Creating WebClassLoader of class org.jboss.web.WebClassLoader
2005-07-20 11:40:14,828 WARN [org.jboss.ejb.EjbModule] Could not load the org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.CachedConnectionInterceptor interceptor for this container

.../...

This error is obviously linked to the deployment of the EJB jar file. The deployement descriptor of this jar file includes a reference to a JDBC datasource. If I remove the jar file from the sar file and deploy it seperately, no more problem (but I do not want that).

Can anyone help me with this dependency problem ?

I tried to include a dependency statement in my jboss-service.xml file, but it did not work (note that I'm not familiar with dependecies yet):

<depends>jboss.jca:service=CachedConnectionManager</depends>

Any idea ?
