Hello, I've got a problem deploying my EAR file on ORION. I packed my two EJBs together with a WAR file into the EAR file. The two EJBs share references to classes in a library jar. As far as I understand the packaging of EARs I can create a 'lib' subfolder in the EAR and add Class-Path entries in the Manifest files of the EJBs.
The EAR deploys well on JBoss, but not on ORION. This is my structure in the EAR: |- bsebos.jar |- som.jar |- ie.war |- appclient.jar (just including an xml descriptor to expose the two beans in JNDI) |- lib |- ois.jar |- bo.jar |- sales.jar |- META-INF |- MANIFEST.MF |- application.xml The Manifest file of the bsebos.jar for example looks as follows: >> Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: 1.3.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) Class-Path: ../lib/ois.jar ../lib/bo.jar ../lib/sales.jar << I did not create Orion-specific descriptors. I think they will be generated automatically on deployment if not existing, aren't they? Does anybody had the same problem or knows what I have to do? I somehow got it to work a few days ago, somehow, but I don't know what to do to get it working again. I changed my build scripts a bit and built a new EAR file and it just won't deploy. I always get this error: >> Auto-unpacking C:\orion\applications\ie.ear... done. Auto-unpacking C:\orion\applications\ie\ie.war... done. Auto-deploying IE3.6 (New server version detected)... Error in application IE3.6: Error loading package at file:/C:/orion/applications/ie/som.jar, Error loading class 'mpress.ois.modules.sales.order.ejb.SalesOrderManagerEJB': java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: impress/ois/bo/ejb/CEManagerEJB Error in application IE3.6: Error loading package at file:/C:/orion/applications/ie/bsebos.jar, Error loading class 'impress.ois.modules.session.ejb.OISSessionEJB': java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: impress/ois/base/session/ISession Installed IE3.6... << These classes are packed in the jars located in the lib directory in the EAR file and are specified to be included in the classpath in the Manifest files of the EJBs. So theoretically, it should work, but it doesn't. They aren't deployed correctly. Additionally, something's not ok with the applicatin client jar, too. As said already, I got it to work a few days ago. Then, upon deployment, ORION changed my appclient.jar and added an xml descriptor and a jndi.properties to this jar. This also doesn't happen anymore. So, I'm currently quite confused and appreciate any help.
