I am a newbie to Geronimo, I have an EAR file which I have
successfully managed to deploy to JBoss and Glassfish, I am now trying
to deploy it to Geronimo however when it deploys it fails saying
Deployment failed:
-----------------
Module was not an application client: dom4j.jar
org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Module was not an
application client: dom4j.jar
at
org.apache.geronimo.j2ee.deployment.EARConfigBuilder.addModules(EARConfigBuilder.java:771)
at
org.apache.geronimo.j2ee.deployment.EARConfigBuilder.getEarPlan(EARConfigBuilder.java:362)
-----------------
my application.xml is as follows:
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd";
version="1.4">
<display-name>MyProject</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>MyProject.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/MyProject</context-root>
</web>
</module>
<module>
<java>dom4j.jar</java>
</module>
.....
-----------------
whatever jar file I reference in the <java> element it says the same
thing, the contents of my EAR file are as follows:
EAR
- META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
- META-INF/application.xml
- dom4j.jar
- MyProject.war
dom4j.jar is a third party library required for my application, why am
I getting this error? I have debugged this and it appears that if the
<module> is type <java> then AppClientModuleBuilder is used and this
requires the jar to contain an application-client.xml, otherwise it
will fail, is this a bug or how are you supposed to specify library
jars contained with an EAR?
many thanks
Tim.
