Exploded jar (inside EAR) containing persistence.xml with jar-file element fails to deploy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: EJBTHREE-1254 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1254 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: AS 4.2.2.GA Environment: JBoss-4.2.2GA, Windows 2003 Server, Sun Java 1.5 Reporter: jaikiran pai Attachments: Applications.zip, Logs.zip I have a sample application deployed as an exploded EAR containing *exploded* jar files. The persistence.xml file is in the META-INF folder of one of the exploded jar (named myapp_ejb3.jar). The persistence.xml has reference to another jar file (which is also exploded and part of the same EAR file) as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"> <persistence-unit name="EJB3Persistence"> <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source> <jar-file>../another_ejb3.jar</jar-file> </persistence-unit> </persistence> When i deploy this EAR, the deployment fails with the following exception: 13:02:21,018 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service persistence.units:ear=EJB3Persistence.ear,unitName=EJB3Persistence java.lang.RuntimeException: error trying to scan <jar-file>:

persistence.xml) instead of keeping it exploded. I could then deploy the EAR without any errors. Please see the referenced forum thread for more details and a probable fix.
