Splitting EJBs and interfaces into separate module -- deployment fails
- by Hank
I'm having trouble following this guide to "extract" my interfaces and entities from my EAR to use them from another Web Application:
I use NetBeans 6.8 and Glassfish 3.0.1
"Java Class Library" project
contains all the entities and interfaces
"Java EE Application" project
class library added to the project, is packaged into the EAR
contains EJB implementations, MDBs, Test
"Java Web Application" project
class library added to the project, is packaged into the WAR
contains REST interface
When I build and deploy the Web Application, all goes well.
When I build the JEE application, I can see the jar-file (interfaces, entities) being included. But when I try to deploy the EAR, Glassfish refuses it with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error:
[#|2010-03-28T18:25:59.875+0200|WARNING|glassfishv3.0|javax.enterprise.system.tools.deployment.org.glassfish.deployment.common|_ThreadID=28;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|Error in annotation processing: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mvs/core/StoreServiceLocal|#]

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid ejb jar [CoreServer]: it contains zero ejb.
Note:
1. A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message-driven bean.
2. EJB3+ entity beans (@Entity) are POJOs and please package them as library jar.
3. If the jar file contains valid EJBs which are annotated with EJB component level annotations (@Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven, @Singleton), please check server.log to see whether the annotations were processed properly.
'mvs/core/StoreServiceLocal' is an interface which is defined in the library jar file.
What am I doing wrong?
