Re: [jboss-dev-forums] [Design of POJO Server] - JBoss5 is better than JBoss4.2 :-)

I've been trying to figure out why some of the tests fail in JBoss5 but work in JBoss4.2, even though the code and config looks the same. No matter how hard I looked at the code I couldn't see the difference. :-) The answer is actually that JBoss5 spots the error during deployment while 4.2 doesn't. e.g. I couldn't figure out why this config was working in JBoss-4.2 but not in JBoss5 | <server> | <mbean code="org.jboss.test.cts.service.CtsCmpService" | name="jboss.test:service=CtsCmpServiceV1"> | <attribute name="HomeJndiName">v1/local/CtsCmp2Bean</attribute> | <depends>jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,jndiName=v1/CtsCmp2Bean</depends> | </mbean> | </server> | The actual ejb was called v1/local/CtsCmp2Bean. I thought there might be something we missed in the reworking of the metadata that introduced a backwards compability issue. In fact, the config is wrong in JBoss-4.2, but the deployer doesn't spot it. If I use the JMX console in 4.2 to do MainDeployer.checkIncompleteDeployments() I get the following error: | Incomplete Deployment listing: | | --- MBeans waiting for other MBeans --- | ObjectName: jboss.test:service=CtsCmpServiceV1 | State: CONFIGURED | I Depend On: | jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,jndiName=v1/CtsCmp2Bean | | --- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM --- | ObjectName: jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,jndiName=v1/CtsCmp2Bean | State: NOTYETINSTALLED | Depends On Me: | jboss.test:service=CtsCmpServiceV1 | | | org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.checkIncompleteDeployments(MainDeployer.java:1385) | which is the same as what I get in JBoss5 but without having to use the jmx console to find the problem. ;-)
