Hi.

I get some exceptions when I try to deploy ear in JBoss 5.1. Ear works fine in JBoss 4.2.

When I don't change anything JBoss gives following exception:

07:27:29,412 INFO [SessionFactoryObjectFactory] Unbinding factory from JNDI name: persistence.unit:unitName=xxx.ear/entities.jar#EJBXXX

Exception occurs in the JBoss code where it try to get container name? Where this should be defined?

If I remove all (6) jboss.xml files from projects there is not any exceptions, but then applications try to use wrong jndi names. There is sample of one jboss.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss>
<security-domain>java:/jaas/xxxSecurity</security-domain>
<enterprise-beans>
<message-driven>
<ejb-name>xxxMessageListener</ejb-name>
<destination-jndi-name>queue/xxxQueue</destination-jndi-name>
</message-driven>
<!-- ======= Creators ======= -->
<session>
<ejb-name>xxxCreator</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>ejblocal:com.xx.xx.xx.Creator</local-jndi-name>
</session>
<session>
<ejb-name>yyCreator</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>ejblocal:yy.yy.yy.yy.YCreator</local-jndi-name>
</session>
<session>
<ejb-name>bbProcessor</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>ejblocal:com.bb.bb.bb.Processor</local-jndi-name>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
....
....
</jboss>


I also tried to use empty jboss.xml files and same exception occurred.

Ear contains following technologies and its build with eclipse:
-Struts 1.2
-Hibernate
-EJB 3

Please help me someone so we could start to use JBoss 5.1.

Regards
Jaakko

How are you packaging the application? The ejb-names in the jboss.xml, do they match with the class names of the annotated EJB classes?

Hi Jaikiran.

Thank you for fast response.

Eclipse does all packaging and deploying automatically. Is it possible that eclipse does something wrong?

EJB names in beans and jboss.xml:

/**
* Bean implementation class for Enterprise Bean: AccountServicesWebFacade
*/
@Stateless(name = "AccountServicesWebFacade")
@Remote(value = AccountServices.class)
public class AccountServicesBean implements AccountServices {
...
}

<session>
<ejb-name>AccountServicesWebFacade</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>com.company.product.webfacades.accountservices.AccountServices</jndi-name>
</session>

Does that look correct to you? I have not worked with JavaEE very long time, so there could be also some trivial errors. But everything works fine in JBoss 4.2 ...

Not sure. I usually don't use any IDE for packaging or deploying. I would recommend that you keep the IDE out of the equation for now and try packaging/deploying outside of the IDE (ex: through Ant scripts). If that works, then we know where the issue is.

The names match, so that looks fine (atleast this specific bean). Is there any more detailed exception stacktrace a few lines before the logs that you posted? Anything which shows, which bean is being deployed when it runs into problems?

Here is something that I noticed from log.

EJB Starting:
...
...

After that two warnings and EJB stopping start. Should EJB:s be stopped? (Warnigs: IntervalTimer and FileHandler)

...
...

There is also lots of following warnings on the log:

and in the beginning of the log seems like jars is defined several times. Is this normal?

Problem resolved.

There was one MDB defined in jboss.xml but it was disabled in the code. Removing MDB definitions from jboss.xml resolved problem.

But there occurred another problem while application was loading some properties. Following line returns null:

InputStream is = Css.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("theme/css-colors.properties");

This worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Where exactly in the packaged deployment, is the "theme/css-colors.properties" located? And which jar/war contains the Css.class (which I believe is your application's class)?

theme/css-colors.properties is located in ear.ear/customer-web.war/theme/css-colors.properties
and Css.class is located in ear.ear/web-core.jar/com...Css.class

Hi Jaikiran.

getResourcesAsStream() method works if parameter is "myApp.war/theme/css-colors.properties". We have used method in many places so there would be lot of work if we have to change it everywhere.

Do you know is there any changes to get it work like it work in earlier version of JBoss ("theme/css-colors.properties")?

Is it possible that we have to set some class loading settings somewhere? When we run our application in WebSphere we have to set class loading: parent last to an another .ear (and web module) and parent first to an another .ear (and web module).

The .war files in AS-5.1 have a separate classloader and is isolated from rest of the .ear. So resources/classes within the .war will not be visible to classes outside the war (even if they belong to the .ear). You have 2 options:

1) Move the web-core.jar from the root of the .ear to .war/WEB-INF/lib folder. This will work if the web-core.jar is not required by any of the other classes in the .ear and is just being used by the classes in the .war. Going by the name of that jar, it does appear to be just meant to be used by that .war file

OR

2) You can disable the .war from using its own classloader. See this

Ok.

But even if I added jboss-classloading.xml to my .war getResurceAsStream returns null

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0"
name="web.war"
domain="DefaultDomain"
parent-domain="Ignored"
export-all="NON_EMPTY"
import-all="true">
</classloading>

Do you notice anything what should change in that file?

Is domains ok? and should I add also parent-first="true".

I tried many different combinations but nothing worked yet.

By the way, I just noticed that you are placing that "theme" folder at the root of the .war. From what I remember, I think the root of the .war isn't made available in the classpath. You might want to move that folder (and its contents) to .war/WEB-INF/classes folder and try it.

Now it works!

Thank you very much.

When I moved theme folder to under WEB-INF/classes and add jboss-classloadings to all .wars everything works like before.

Thanks!
