Deployment problem on GlassfishV2 with Seam 2.1b1

05. Sep 2008, 21:34 CET | Link Rick Horowitz

I am unable to run my application with Seam 2.0.3 because of JIRA 3274. Since this is reported as fixed in Seam 2.1b1, I tried upgrading. Unfortunately, I have run into another blocking problem -- inability to deploy.

I'm using NetBeans 6.1, Glassfish V2ur2, Hibernate 3.3.0 (and associated Hibernate Annotations, EntityManager, Validator, and Search).

It's failing with a javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: javax.ejb.CreateException: Could not create stateless EJB (full stack trace below).

The EJBs in question are UtilityBean and DataFileLoaderBean, which references UtilityLocal. The DataFileLoaderBean is called only by the javax.ejb.TimerService.

Below, I include the EJB references in my web.xml file, and portions of DataFileLoaderBean and UtilityBean.

DataFileLoaderBean

@javax.ejb.Stateless
public class DataFileLoaderBean implements com.unclejoes.ejb.DataFileLoaderRemote, com.unclejoes.ejb.DataFileLoaderLocal {
    
    private static class TimerInfo implements Serializable {
    
    @Resource TimerService _timerService;
    @EJB
    private UtilityLocal utilityFacade;
    @EJB
    private FullTextIndexerLocal _fullTextIndexer;
    ...
}

UtilityBean

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("utilityBean")
public class UtilityBean implements UtilityLocal {
    
    @Create
    public void init() {
    }
    ...
    
    @Remove @Destroy
    public void destroy() {}
}

Log was too long, so I put it here!
