[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBMETA-208) Prescence of an ejb-jar.xml without a namespace stops annotation-based metadata processing

If you did try to describe an EJB3 bean in EJB2 deployment descriptor you would get an error

Prescence of an ejb-jar.xml without a namespace stops annotation-based metadata processing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBMETA-208 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMETA-208 Project: JBoss Metadata Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 1.0.1.GA Environment: JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA Reporter: Richard Kennard Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky The presence of a META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file that is not properly namespaced, for example... <ejb-jar> </ejb-jar> ...instead of... <ejb-jar version="3.0" 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/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"> </ejb-jar> ...stops ALL of the annotation-based metadata processing. Every session bean in the JAR reports with the JBMETA-4 warning, and therefore none of them get registered with JNDI. This is much worse than simply ignoring the ejb-jar.xml altogether, as is arguably acceptable as it isn't namespaced. An un-namespaced ejb-jar.xml is not uncommon. Many examples, including this one from the JBoss documentation... http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/p... ...leave off the namespace, so for JBoss to fail without warning seems a little harsh. Leaving off the namespace worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA.
