  1. EJB deployment question (6 messages)

    Hi,

    I'm trying to deploy the simple HelloWorld example ejb, found in the Mastering EJB book. This is my ejb-jar.xml file:
    <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
    <ejb-jar>
    <enterprise-beans>
    <session>
    <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name>
    <home>examples.HelloHome</home>
    <remote>examples.Hello</remote>
    <local-home>examples.HelloLocalHome</local-home>
    <local>examples.HelloLocal</local>
    <ejb-class>examples.HelloBean</ejb-class>
    <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
    <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
    </session>
    </enterprise-beans>
    </ejb-jar>

    This is my weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file:
    <!DOCTYPE weblogic-ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD WebLogic 8.1.0 EJB//EN" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic-ejb-jar.dtd">

    <weblogic-ejb-jar>
       <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
          <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name>
          <jndi-name>ejb20-Hello-HelloHome</jndi-name>
       </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
    </weblogic-ejb-jar>

    When I log into the admin console & try to deploy, I get the message : Unable to load a class specified in your ejb-jar.xml: examples.HelloBean

    Can anybody please help?
    Thanks
    Meera

    Is the class really named "examples.HelloBean"? Is it in your ejb jar file? Open your jar file in winzip or do a jar -tf on it to verify that your class files are actually in there. Make sure you include all necessary dependencies (like helper classes, if any since this is just a hello world example) in there too.

    Thank you for replying.
    This is what I did to create the jar file:
    I was in the c:\examples directory and I said
    jar -cf HelloWorld.jar examples\*

    and when I did jar -xvf HelloWorld.jar, I get

    C:\examples>jar -xvf HelloWorld.jar
      created: META-INF/
    extracted: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    extracted: examples/Hello.class
    extracted: examples/Hello.java
    extracted: examples/HelloBean.class
    extracted: examples/HelloBean.java
    extracted: examples/HelloHome.class
    extracted: examples/HelloHome.java
    extracted: examples/HelloLocal.class
    extracted: examples/HelloLocal.java
    extracted: examples/HelloLocalHome.class
    extracted: examples/HelloLocalHome.java
    extracted: examples/HelloWorld.jar
      created: examples/META-INF/
    extracted: examples/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
    extracted: examples/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    extracted: examples/META-INF/WebLogic-ejb-jar.xml

    Is it not right? I stil get the error about not being able to load the class
    Thanks

    Did you make sure you have a package statement at the top of the source files, indicating that all of the classes/interfaces will be in the examples package?

    Don't you have to run, EJBC or APPC (Weblogic) on the jar file before you try to deploy ?

    Hi

    open ur jar file in zip, at the end of column ie 'path' it shows the beans path. if it is empty then you have created wrong jar file

    eg: if ur package is like this

    com.mycompany.trade.ejb

    then go to bin directory and make the jar file like

    jar cvf myejb.jar com\mycompany\trade\ejb\*.class

    to add META-INF(ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml)

    jar uvf myejbjar.jar META-INF/*.xml
    and remove all the .package from myserver and applications redeploy it.

    Regards
