JEE application client

[Phani Madgula]

Hi I am trying to deploy a JEE application client as follows.

*application-client.xml

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

<application-client xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
      http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application-client_5.xsd";
    version="5">

      <ejb-ref>
         <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Converter</ejb-ref-name>
         <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
         <remote>examples.appclient.Converter</remote>
     </ejb-ref>

</application-client>

*geronimo-application-client.xml


*<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application-client xmlns="
http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application-client-2.0";
    xmlns:naming="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2";
    xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2";>

      <sys:environment>
          <sys:moduleId>
              <sys:groupId>Converter</sys:groupId>
              <sys:artifactId>Converter-app-client</sys:artifactId>
              <sys:version>3.0</sys:version>
              <sys:type>jar</sys:type>
          </sys:moduleId>

          *<sys:dependencies>
            <sys:dependency>
             <sys:groupId>Converter</sys:groupId>
             <sys:artifactId>ConverterEAR</sys:artifactId>
             <sys:version>5.0</sys:version>
             <sys:type>car</sys:type>
             </sys:dependency>
         </sys:dependencies>*

     </sys:environment>


     <ejb-ref>
         <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Converter</ejb-ref-name>
         <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
        <remote>examples.appclient.Converter</remote>
        <ejb-link>ConverterBean</ejb-link>
     </ejb-ref>

</application-client>

The above application client declares a dependency on *
Converter/ConverterEAR/5.0/car *where the *ConverterBean *is deployed. When
I package the above files along with the client file and deploy on the
Geronimo2.1 server, the server throws the following error.

Please note that I am deploying the JEE client separately from the main EAR
file.

    Error: Unable to distribute ConverterEJBClient.jar: Cannot deploy
    the requested application module because no deployer is able to
    handle it.  This can happen if you have omitted the J2EE deployment
    descriptor, disabled a deployer module, or if, for example, you are
    trying to deploy an EJB module on a minimal Geronimo server that
    does not have EJB support installed.

May I know what I am missing here??
