I looked at the SQL in server/xxx/deploy/uuid-key-generator.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml and it is correct. i.e. that syntax is correct for Oracle. I even went so far as to execute it to create the table. When I start JBoss, I get the following exception whenever JBoss tries to deploy one of my beans. 10:50:48,895 INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: zedi.core.beans.OtadProgressServiceBean ejbName: OtadProgressServiceBean 10:50:48,926 WARN [DatabasePersistencePolicy] Unable to get timer handles for containerId: jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=pacbridge.ear,jar=core.jar,name=OtadProgressServiceBean java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:331) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:288) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4C8Oall.receive(T4C8Oall.java:743) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.doOall8(T4CStatement.java:207) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.executeForDescribe(T4CStatement.java:790) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeMaybeDescribe(OracleStatement.java:1037) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.executeMaybeDescribe(T4CStatement.java:830) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.doExecuteWithTimeout(OracleStatement.java:1132) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeQuery(OracleStatement.java:1272) at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrappedStatement.executeQuery(WrappedStatement.java:171) at org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.GeneralPurposeDatabasePersistencePlugin.selectTimers(GeneralPurpose DatabasePersistencePlugin.java:257) at org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.DatabasePersistencePolicy.listTimerHandles(DatabasePersistencePolic y.java:165) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:155) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:86) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy30.listTimerHandles(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerServiceImpl.restoreTimers(EJBTimerServiceImpl.java:408) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:155) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:86) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy110.restoreTimers(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.ejb3.timerservice.jboss.JBossTimerServiceFactory.restoreTimerService(JBossTimer ServiceFactory.java:120) at org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessContainer.start(StatelessContainer.java:98) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.ejb3.ServiceDelegateWrapper.startService(ServiceDelegateWrapper.java:103) Exception stack trace cut View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4179120#...
