In my case above, I was able to isolate the real error by including the schema declaration in my jboss-beans.xml. Real error was againcoming from XB:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'name' is not allowed to appear in element 'parameter'. @ vfs:///home/alr/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/ejb3/components/embedded/trunk/impl-as/target/classes/embedded-ejb-as-adaptor-jboss-beans.xml[14,32]
I'd gotten the bad config from:
http://docs.jboss.org/jbossmc/docs/2.0.x/userGuide/ch11s05.html
So a couple questions:
1) Can we open an issue, or does one exist, to fix the "hiding the cause" behaviour?
2) Is that the most updated documentation?
