Hi, I've got several Stateless beans which have cyclic dependencies between them. When deploying my .jar I get several errors saying me that kind of thing : | ObjectName: jboss.j2ee:jar=escapek.jar,name=TestServiceBean,service=EJB3 | State: NOTYETINSTALLED | I Depend On: | jboss.j2ee:jar=escapek.jar,name=RegistryServiceBean,service=EJB3 | I've read that using @IgnoreDependency or specifying it in jboss.xml should fix the problem. As i would like my code to be independent as possible I choose to add a jboss.xml in META-INF/ of my .jar: | <jboss> | <enterprise-beans> | <session> | <ejb-name>TestServiceBean</ejb-name> | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>RegistryServiceBean</ejb-ref-name> | <ignore-dependency/> | </ejb-ref> | </session> | <session> | <ejb-name>CmdbServiceBean</ejb-name> | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>RepositoryServiceBean</ejb-ref-name> | <ignore-dependency/> | </ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>SecurityServiceBean</ejb-ref-name> | <ignore-dependency/> | </ejb-ref> | </session> | <session> | <ejb-name>RegistryServiceBean</ejb-name> | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>RepositoryServiceBean</ejb-ref-name> | <ignore-dependency/> | </ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>SecurityServiceBean</ejb-ref-name> | <ignore-dependency/> | </ejb-ref> | </session> | </enterprise-beans> | </jboss> | This doesn't work. For example, TestServiceBean is not deployed even by having specified ignore-dependency in jboss.xml. I'm using EJB3-RC9 on Jboss 4.0.5.
