[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - Exploded Deployment and persistence unit references - imposs

Everything works when packed to appropriate archives but I wanted to try exploded development to improve redeployment time. vod-ear-2.0.0.ear is exploded EAR (huge!) metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar is exploded EJB JAR archive, it contain simple persistence.xml just referring ../cmm-ejb-2.0.0.jar entities. cmm-ejb-2.0.0.jar is exploded EJB JAR archive, it contains entities referenced by metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar All other WAR, EJB JARs are exploded as well. This configuration gives me this deploy error: ObjectName: persistence.units:ear=vod-ear-2.0.0.ear,jar=metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar,unitName=metadataimport-unit | State: FAILED | Reason: java.lang.RuntimeException: error trying to scan <jar-file>: file:/C:/jboss/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/vod/deploy/vod-ear-2.0.0.ear/metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar/cmm-ejb-2.0.0.jar | I Depend On: | jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=jdbc/ContentDS | Depends On Me: | jboss.j2ee:ear=vod-ear-2.0.0.ear,jar=metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar,name=ImportProductSession,service=EJB3 | jboss.j2ee:ear=vod-ear-2.0.0.ear,jar=metadata-import-ejb-2.0.0.jar,name=ImportTaskSession,service=EJB3 Persistence unit configurer - unlike deployer - cannot cope with exploded EJB JARs!??!. Thank you for any clarifications or hints Espinosa P.S. JBossAS 4.0.5.GA View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108960#...
