[JBoss-user] error when deploying exploded ear

[Panagiotis Korros]

Title: Message

 I have an ear file with the following structure:

/xxx.ear
/xxx.ear/xxxEJB.jar
/xxx.ear/xxxEJB.jar/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
/xxx.ear/xxx.war
/xxx.ear/xxx.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

In the ejb-jar.xml i define a Stateless Session bean with local interfaces.
In web.xml i use the following markup to define a local ejb ref:

<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/OrganizationChartManagerLocalHome</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>orgchart.interfaces.OrganizationChartManagerLocalHome</local-home>
<local>orgchart.interfaces.OrganizationChartManagerLocal</local>
<ejb-link>xxxEJB.jar#OrganizationChartManager</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>

When i use the usual application archive everything works ok but when i use an exploded archive i get the following error:

12:53:08,202 ERROR [MainDeployer] could not start deployment: file:/C:/jboss3.2/server/default/deploy/xxx.ear/xxx.war/
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NamingException: ejb-local-ref: 'ejb/OrganizationChartManagerLocalHome', with web.xml ejb-link: 'xxxEJB.jar#OrganizationChartManager' failed to resolve to an ejb with a LocalHome)

at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.start(MainDeployer.java:824)
at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.start(MainDeployer.java:816)


Is there any idea on how to bypass this problem?
