[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBMETA-208) Prescence of an ejb-jar.xml without a namespace stops annotation-based metadata processing

[Richard Kennard (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMETA-208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12472892#action_12472892 ] 

Richard Kennard commented on JBMETA-208:
----------------------------------------

Alexey,

Apologies, I posted the wrong forum link. It should be...

http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=157022

...it is not obvious, at first, that this forum link is about the issue either. That's because this issue causes an unusual side effect (ie. none of your beans get registered with JNDI).

I respect your decision whether to a) fix the code or b) fix the EJB3 docs. However, you might want to at least improve the warning around using EJB3 annotations and (accidentally) an EJB2 deployment descriptor. I only stress this because it used to work in JBoss 4.2.3 (which I know was not fully Java EE 5 compliant, but still).

Richard.

> ...stops ALL of the annotation-based metadata processing. Every session bean in the JAR reports with the JBMETA-4 warning, and therefore none of them get registered with JNDI. This is much worse than simply ignoring the ejb-jar.xml altogether, as is arguably acceptable as it isn't namespaced.
> An un-namespaced ejb-jar.xml is not uncommon. Many examples, including this one from the JBoss documentation...
