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

[Alexey Loubyansky (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMETA-208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12474073#action_12474073 ] 

Alexey Loubyansky commented on JBMETA-208:
------------------------------------------

The deployment descriptor dictates what and how should be deployed (that's why it is called deployment descriptor). EJB2 deployment descriptor means the deployment is EJB2. And since the descriptor is empty you get nothing deployed. If you did try to describe an EJB3 bean in EJB2 deployment descriptor you would get an error. Do you have a testcase that shows that's not the case?

> The presence of a META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file that is not properly namespaced, for example...
> <ejb-jar>
> </ejb-jar>
> ...instead of...
> <ejb-jar version="3.0"
>     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
>     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd">
> </ejb-jar>
> ...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...
> http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/partial_deployment_descriptors.html
> ...leave off the namespace, so for JBoss to fail without warning seems a little harsh. Leaving off the namespace worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA.
