Bas EAR generated by Eclipse? [message #221214]

I am using Eclipse 3.4.0 to generate an EAR for a jboss-4.2.3.GA
installation. It is a very simple (my first) application and everything
seems to be in place as expected from an ear except for the
application.xml file. I am getting the following error on the server:

19:53:34,297 INFO [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on
http-127.0.0.1-8080
19:53:34,329 INFO [AjpProtocol] Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on

at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:7 82)
at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor30.invoke(Unknown Source)

which seems to be justified since the directory structure I see in the ear
file is the following:

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
myEjbProject.jar
myEjbProjectClient.jar
myDynamicWebProject.war

What am I missing? Why isn't the application.xml file generated. I guess I
can generate it manually but that's not the point. Can anybody help please?
Thanks.

I guess you have developed a Java EE 5 application.
The Java EE 5 specification makes the deployment descriptor xml files
optional. This is why your EAR 5 project is created without application.xml
by default.
For some reason JBoss requires the application.xml file to be available. You
can create one for your EAR project by right-clicking > Java EE Tools >
Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub.

Greetings, Kaloyan

Thank you for the tip.
The Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub command for the EJB project is
greyed out though.

If it is greyed, then you probably already have deployment descriptor. Check
for an ejb-jar.xml file.
