Hi there,

I am trying to work through the EJB3 Myeclipseide tutorial – I have Eclipse 3.2.2 with 5.5GA and glassfish 2.x (latest version patch 2).

When I try to deploy the EJB Project as an Exploded archive to the …./../…/autodeploy
directory as per your tutorial, the project does NOT get deployed as a EJB module,
but instead as a WEB application (actually 3-4 little web apps — it seems that each
java class ends up becoming it’s own little web app (??)).

When I deploy the same project as a JAR archive to the same deployment directory,
everything runs fine, and the app is deployed as a EJB module.

So, what is going on?? Is exploded deployment available or NOT available for
glassfish? Or am I doing something wrong — I don’t think I am, since I even went
as far as to download your own ZIP file and imported it as a project into Eclipse..

Thanks, Alex.

That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard all week.

We’ve been working closely with the Glassfish team getting deployment issues ironed out for 2.0, so let’s dig into this situation and see if we can uncover what’s going on and possibly get it fixed.

I’m going to need some screenshots from you, the best would be to post them in your reply, but if you cannot host them anywhere and link to them using a URL, you can PM them to me (using the PM button under my post) as attachments.

I need a screenshot of:

1) Your project expanded in the package explorer
2) The full version of glassfish you are using (2.0, build what? patch level what? etc.)
3) Full startup message from glassfish as it starts up from the console
4) Screenshot of the EJB modules and Web modules admin page from the Glassfish admin console on port 4848 (http://localhost:4848). Login should be admin/adminadmin I think.

Not the weirdest thing I’ve head all week as I’m having the same exact issue. (same release of Glassfish). It tries to autodeploy every class as it’s own web app so I have about 128 copies of the same thing in my j2ee-modules directory :/

Guys this is sounding like a Glassfish hickup and the team has really been great fixing issues we ran into so I’d like to get this fixed if possible.

Jason, can you answer some of the same questions I asked Alex?

[jkratz]

I have build b41d (the beta 2 release). Before I post anything else I’m going to try build 48 (from May 23rd) and see if that shows the same problem.

Jason

[jkratz]

Good news. Build 48 works. I do get this error right way though when I start the autodeploy:

INFO: [AutoDeploy] Exception occures while invoking backend deployment service for file : C:\development\tools\glassfish\domains\domain1\autodeploy\ForecastingAdmin.war. — Unrecognized module type for C:\development\tools\glassfish\domains\domain1\autodeploy\ForecastingAdmin.war; the archive may be incorrectly constructed, non-existent, or inaccessible from the server.

After the deployment finishes it tries again and succeeds. Is that normal behavior? Is it just a matter of tuning the auto-polling in the server admin console?

Thanks,

Jason

[Riyad Kalla]

Jason,
Very strange… if it fails *then* works with the exactly same war file (meaning you didn’t hit redeploy during that time) then I’d have to say that’s a Glassfish problem. I am glad however to hear that the EJB deployment is fixed.

You may want to file this in the Glassfish issue tracker:
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectIssues

I did a few searches myself and didn’t get any matches.

[jkratz]

oops. sorry…my issue wasnt EJBs.. It was a standard war file. each class became its own deployment. (in build 41d)

[a_matijaca]

I am back – sorry — I have not been able to reproduce the behavior – now it seems ok. After deploying ONCE as
a jar file. I have since undeployed, and REDPLOYED a number of times as a exploded archive and it seems ok…

What it DID do before (when things didn’t work) – it would tell me that

…..\autodploy\SampleEJBProject.jar\com\myeclipseide\ejb3\MyBeanClient.class

cannot be found (ClassNotFoundException )- of course

SampleEJBProject.jar\com…. is NOT the name of the class it is

com\myeclipse …

and then, I would see the .class file “deployed” as web app…

I am glad to see that I am not the only one having this problem … Perhaps this will go away with newer
versions of glassfish??

So my process seems to be — first deploy once as a deployment jar file, start/stop glassfish, remove
the project, and then just re-deploy as an exploded archive and all is ok…

I KNOW THAT THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, but it seems to work…

Thanks, a.m.

[Riyad Kalla]

a.m.

One of the big things we worked on with the GF team was to make sure that exploded deployments work. With the newer builds you should be able to simple do an exploded deployment and have it work.

[a_matijaca]

so, I have once again, redeployed as exploded archive, and although it seems to have
worked, (no errors on start-up this time), when trying to run the client, I did get
errors, and I have now screen shots that show good (packaged) deployments,
and bad (exploded) deployments…

here are the screen shots

here are the “good ones” (JARd deployment)

Hmmm very odd, I see what you mean. Looks like exploded deployments may have a problem. I’ll contact someone from the Glassfish team.

[Riyad Kalla]

Alex,
Can you zip up the contents of the domains/domain1/autodeploy directory (the one that is all screwy) and send it to support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad? The lead of the GF team wants to take a look at why it’s deploying the EJB as multiple web projects.

[Riyad Kalla]

Alex,
After the GF looked into things on their end, it seems that exploded deployments only work with Build 48 and later. Your screenshot looked like you were still using Build 41. I, as well as the GF team, used the EJB Sample project and deployed it successfully in exploded format.

If there is another project giving you trouble, we will need that for testing.

Hi,

I just installed release build48 — IT WORKS (exploded deploy) !!

Many thanks, Alex.
