[JBoss-user] Jboss 3.0.0 beta, classpaths, and EARS

[James Higginbotham]

Title: Message

Hello all! My apologies for a possible duplicate post to this list, but I did a search and manual walk of the Geocrawler archives first. Here is the problem:

 

I have an ear file with 1 EJB that I am porting to Jboss from Weblogic (with no weblogic-specific stuff). The EJB's manifest.mf declares a class-path (with the required C/R at the end) with a list of 5 jars that are in the ear. It seems that JBoss 3.0.0 beta is deploying the jars in 2 groups - some before and some after the EJB, so not all the jars are in JBOSS/tmp/deploy.

 

Here is the manifest:

 

Class-Path: common.jar log4j.jar castor.jar jdbc-se2.0.jar jta1.0.1.jar

 

Here is the output from the server's logs:

(Now, it copies the rest of the jars in the EAR - too little, too late)

I'm not concerned with the error messages from castor.jar, but I am concerned tht the EJB is trying to be deployed before the common.jar is deployed.

 

So, is this a known issue, is there a workaround, or am I just missing something? I had this EJB working at some point, but now it seems to copy the jars out of order and fails to deploy the EJB (based on the web admin pages on port 8082).

 

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

James
