Hello everybody,

I'm trying to port my application from JBoss AS 4.x to JBoss 5.1.

The application seems to be deployed fine. In fact inside my EAR I have various jar and a WEB application
The fact that the WEB application is working fine means that also the other jar/EJBs are deployed and working correctly.

The problem is that in my application I have defined a service inside the META-INF of the EAR like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler"
 name="com.os:service=Scheduler">
 <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableClass">com.os.schedule.LobbyScheduler</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableArguments">lobbyTopic,1</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableArgumentTypes">java.lang.String,long</attribute>
 <attribute name="InitialStartDate">NOW</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">5000</attribute>
 <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
 <!--
 <depends>jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployment,url='gamgamEAR.ear'</depends>
 <depends>jboss.j2ee:url='gamgamEAR.ear',service=EARDeployer</depends>
 <depends>jboss.j2ee:jndiName=gamgamEAR/LobbyManager/local,service=EJB3</depends>
 -->
 <depends>jboss.j2ee:url='gamgamEAR.ear',service=EJB3</depends>
 </mbean>
</server>

basically it should call every 5 seconds a class LobbyScheduler that implements the org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Schedulable interface.

the problem is that I always get the same error, that comes from the tag.

DEPLOYMENTS MISSING DEPENDENCIES:
 Deployment "com.os:service=Scheduler" is missing the following dependencies:
 Dependency "jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,url='gamgamEAR.ear'" (should be in state "Create", but is actually in state "** NOT FOUND Depends on 'jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,url='gamgamEAR.ear'' **")

DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:
 Deployment "jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,url='gamgamEAR.ear'" is in error due to the following reason(s): ** NOT FOUND Depends on 'jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,url='gamgamEAR.ear'' **

In fact it seems that it doesn't find the EAR deployed or the address is wrong
In my old configuration (JBoss 4.x) I had:

<depends>jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployment,url='gamgamEAR.ear'</depends>

and it was working fine. Probably in the AS 5, the name has been changed from EARDeployment to EARDeployer but still I'm not able to find the right sintax.

I was trying to point at the EJB used by Scheduler class that in my case is LobbyManager, but even in that case it's not working.

I was checking the JMX-Console for the name of the Bean LobbyManager. and putting that string into tag I have as result no more errors... but nothing happens... so that means that the scheduler is not called.

ear=gamgamEAR.ear,jar=gamgamEJB.jar,name=LobbyManager,service=EJB3

<depends>jboss.j2ee:ear=gamgamEAR.ear,jar=gamgamEJB.jar,name=LobbyManager,service=EJB3</depends>

Do you have any advice?

PS=is that Scheduler way J2EE 5 compliant? If not how can I replace that scheduler with something portable.

Thanks in advance
