Problem using JBOSS

[vijay makam]

I am using JSF and JPA with toplink implementation in JBOSS. I am not able to deploy the application as I am using entity bean and jboss is treating this as EJB. so the deployment is failing. Can I disable EJB deployer in jboss as I'm not using it. Also, is there a way out in JBOSS to make it work with JPA with out disabling ejb

In EJB3, there are no Entity beans anymore, just JPA.

I am assuming you are using EJB3 here, the only way JBoss could think it is an Entity Bean in EJB 2.x is if you declare it in an ejb-jar.xml file, which I am sure you don't.

What is the actual deployment error and stacktrace and please post it here, inside CODE tags.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

This is the error trace.

Please let me know the steps to define a non-jta-data-source, as I have never used datasource anytime.

        <jta-data-source>jdbc/myDS</jta-data-source>
        <non-jta-data-source>jdbc/myDS</non-jta-data-source>

In JBoss, datasources are defined in files named "xxxxx-datasource.xml". JBoss digests them, creates the datasource/connection pool objects, and files them in the JNDI directory so that apps can reference them.

For JPA EJB entities JBoss will inject the entity manager into the appropriately-designated places, and at that point, I'll have to leave you to the tender mercies of the JBoss docs, since the last time I worked with it, I was trying to get a non-EJB JPA app installed and I ended up falling back to just basic Tomcat after wearing myself out on JSF portability issues.

There are still Entity Beans in EJB3/JPA, Mark. I think you might have been referring to BMP beans, but I'd have to RFTM on that one, since while JPA makes self-managing entity beans rather silly, BMP still may be supported as a remotable data access mechanism.
