Prav Ford [http://community.jboss.org/people/lordpraveen] created the discussion "JBoss-classloading.xml in EAR /EJB" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/562595#562595 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi , I have an EAR which I deploy in jboss-5.1.0. A.EAR     |----lib/x.jar     |----EJB1.jar     |----EJB2.jar I wanted to just expose the interfaces from the EJB's, hence I have jboss-classloading.xml in both EJB1.jar and EJB2.jar. What I was hoping to achieve is that just have the interfaces exposed in my EJB's to other EJB's in the same EAR and also to other EAR's in AS. EJB1.jar     |-----------com.ejb1.interface.EJB1Intf / EJB1IntfLocal extends EJB1Intf / EJB1IntfRemote extends EJB1Intf     |-----------com.ejb1.implementation.EJB1Bean implements EJB1IntfLocal,EJB1IntfRemote.     |-----------META-INF/jboss-classloading.xml <classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0" domain="A.EAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear" parent-domain="DefaultDomain"     export-all="NON_EMPTY" import-all="true" excluded="META-INF">     <capabilities>         <package name="com.ejb1.interface" />     </capabilities> </classloading> Similarly for EJB2.jar. This is how my jmx-console looks like: h2. jboss.classloader * http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&nam... domain="A.EAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear",system=557851707 * http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&nam... id="vfsfile:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/" * http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&nam... id="vfszip:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB1.jar/" EJB1 calls EJB2 via JNDI. EJB1Bean: public boolean callTheOtheEJB() {     EJB2Intf myStateless = lookup(EJB2Intf.class, "service/EJB2IntfBean");     logger.info("Called myStateless sayHello = "+  myStateless.sayHello());      return true;     } EJB2Bean: public String sayHello(){      return "Hello" } My Client: Properties props = new Properties();     props.put(InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");     props.put(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://127.0.0.1:1099");     try {         InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(props);         Object obj = jndiContext.lookup("AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded/EJB1Bean/remote");         System.out.println(obj.getClass());         EJB1Intf callingEJBIntf = (EJB1Intf)obj;         callingEJBIntf.callTheOtheEJB();       } catch (NamingException e) {         // TODO Auto-generated catch block         e.printStackTrace();     } Problem: EJB1 cant see EJB2Intf. Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ejb2.interface.EJB2Intf from BaseClassLoader@1f9c621d{VFSClassLoaderPolicy@53ed6e21{name=vfszip:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB1.jar/ domain=ClassLoaderDomain(a)b901239{name=AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear parentPolicy=BEFORE parent=ClassLoaderDomain@7a0aae8a{DefaultDomain}} roots=[DelegatingHandler(a)148464531[path=AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB1.jar context=file:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ real=file:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB1.jar]]  delegates=null exported=[com.ejb1.interface]NON_EMPTY}} They are part of the same ClassLoaderDomain. When I do listExportingClassloader() for AEAR domain, {com.ejb1.interface=[jboss.classloader:id="vfszip:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB1-SNAPSHOT.jar/"], com.ejb2.interface=[jboss.classloader:id="vfszip:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ AEAR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-exploded.ear/EJB2-SNAPSHOT.jar/"]} Can anyone help? I am not sure where I am going wrong. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/562595#562595] Start a new discussion in JBoss Microcontainer at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
