[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Assigned: (JBAS-9355) EJBs contained in an EAR are not accessible to WARs in the same EAR

EJBs contained in an EAR are not accessible to WARs in the same EAR ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-9355 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9355 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: EE, EJB Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Beta2 Environment: Java version: 1.6.0_24, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Default locale: fr_FR, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: jaikiran pai Attachments: demo-ear.ear In order to test m2eclipse-wtp, I usually use the multi-javaee5-archetype (mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://open-archetypes.googlecode.com/svn/snapshots-repository/archetype-catalog.xml) to create an EAR containing an EJB jar and a WAR referencing said EJB. The generated EAR deploys and runs on JBoss AS 5, 6, Glassfish 3.x but fails on deploying in JBoss AS 7 : {noformat} Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: foo.bar.demo.ejb.HelloService from [Module "deployment.demo-ear.ear.demo-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war:main" from Service Module Loader]{noformat} It seems AS 7 strictly enforces the EE spec : {quote} (15:26:40) dmlloyd: EE.8.3.2 (15:27:01) dmlloyd: portable applications must not depend on having or not having access to these classes or resources: The content of any EJB jar files included in the same ear file. {quote} I guess it would be practical if EJBs inside an EAR were still available to WARs from the same EAR, from a migration point of view first, and it would also allow projects to be deployed using m2eclipse-wtp/jboss tools out of the box :-D
