Scott Marlow commented on JBAS-9298:
------------------------------------

Thanks, I copied efp.ear to standalone/deployment and didn't see a null pointer exception (I'm using latest as7 sources, so my null check might of helped).  

I didn't see much on the AS7 console when first deploying but when restarting AS7, I see:

11:27:37,945 ERROR [org.jboss.as] (MSC service thread 1-4) JBoss AS 7.0.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT "TBD" started (with errors) in 3037ms - Started 138 of 167 services (1 services failed or missing dependencies, 28 services are passive or on-demand)
    Services missing dependencies:
        service jboss.persistenceunit."efp.ear/ejb.jar#efp"

I'll see if I can make improvements to make this situation more clear but the JPA 2 the following to say:
"
A persistence unit is defined by a persistence.xml file. The jar file or directory whose META-INF directory contains the persistence.xml file is termed the root of the persistence unit. In Java EE environments, the root of a persistence unit must be one of the following:
• an EJB-JAR file
• the WEB-INF/classes directory of a WAR file[80]
• a jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory of a WAR file
• a jar file in the EAR library directory
• an application client jar file
It is not required that an EJB-JAR or WAR file containing a persistence unit be packaged in an EAR unless the persistence unit contains persistence classes in addition to those contained within the EJB-JAR or WAR. See Section 8.2.1.6.

NOTE: Java Persistence 1.0 supported use of a jar file in the root of the EAR as the root of a persistence unit. This use is no longer supported. Portable applications should use the EAR library directory for this case instead. See [9].
"

I think the call for action here for me, is to see if I can give more information about why the ejb jar in the root of the ear is ignored (and moving it to the ear lib will help it become active).
