Hi!

Please correct me if I'm in the wrong forum. The problem I'm having is that I cannot acces my EJB 3.0 session beans anymore via JNDI, because - it seems - they're not being loaded anymore.

In 4.0.3SP1 all worked well, via the code snippets below. After upgrading to 4.0.4RC1 I followed the Hibernate Migration guide and replaced all obsolete annotations with the new ones, etc, but I got stranded when accessing my session beans. I'm fairly new to EJB's and JBoss alltogether, so it's difficult for me to exactly explain what's relevant here.

Here are some code snippets from my application.

As you can see, for every session bean there's the error

"remote (proxy: $Proxy248 implements No ClassLoaders found for: com.myapp.beans.session.UserService (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled))"

In the example UserServiceBean and InitServiceBean do have a part

@PersistenceContext(unitName = "ccservice")
protected EntityManager em;

but the TestService interface and TestServiceBean do not have specific EJB parts:

TestService.java

package com.myapp.beans.session;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface TestService {

 public String getString();
}

TestServiceBean.java

package com.myapp.beans.session.impl;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

import com.myapp.beans.session.TestService;

@Stateless
public class TestServiceBean implements TestService {

 public String getString() {
 return "bogus";
 }

}

As you can see in the JNDI views: in 4.0.3 there were also 'No ClassLoaders found for:' errors, but there were also listed as org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessContainer and that seemed to work. Under 4.0.4 I get a

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: com.myapp.beans.session.InitService not bound
 [..snip..]
 at com.myapp.init.Init.main(Init.java:15)

in

public static void main( String args[] ) throws NamingException {
 Context context = new InitialContext();
 InitService initService = (InitService) context.lookup(InitService.class.getName());

}

which did work under 4.0.3SP1.

In http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=77669 Bill Burke mentioned that fact that an Entity Manager was possibly not correctly injected because of of an invalid persistence.xml, but I created the TestService session bean on purpose without any Entity Manager to see if it had anything to do with that problem, but somehow also the TestService bean can not be loaded.

I'm also not sure if I have to add jboss.entity.manager.jndi.name & jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name to persistence.xml as described in http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=76134, since, again, the TestService bean doesn't contain any persistency item that need injection, if I'm correct.

So, the question, what I can not find in the list JBoss & Hibernate changes on http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FromJBossEJB3.0RC3ToRC4PFD is: if under 4.0.4 the JNDI lookup fails because there are no classloaders for the session beans, what has changed in JBoss or what have I forgotten during the upgrade?

Thanks in advance.
