EJB3 deployments lead to java.lang.IllegalStateException: Null beannMetaData ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-1969 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1969 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.22 Reporter: jaikiran pai Assignee: jaikiran pai Attachments: freeads.ear, Freeads.rar, helloWorld2Bad.ear, helloWorld2Good.ear There has been more than one instance where users have reported issues around EJB3 deployments which leads to exception like this: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Null beannMetaData at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptors.metadata.BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.setupMetaDataLists(BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.java:315) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptors.metadata.BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.initialise(BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.java:235) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptors.metadata.BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.(BeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.java:138) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptors.metadata.AdditiveBeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.(AdditiveBeanInterceptorMetaDataBridge.java:48) at org.jboss.ejb3.aop.BeanContainer.initialize(BeanContainer.java:194) at org.jboss.ejb3.EJBContainer.(EJBContainer.java:249) One such forum thread discussion is referenced in this JIRA. The issue appears to be around the way the deployment has been packaged. This needs more investigation and a fix (or an explanation about why this happens and the correct way to package the culprit application).
