EJB 2.x Entity Beans ignored during startup/deployment

Solution Unverified - Updated

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform [EAP] 6.4

Issue

  • Application containing
    • CMP beans
    • deployment-overlay
      successfully worked on EAP 6.2
  • Application failed during deployment on EAP6.4 as EJB 2.x Entity Beans got ignored

Resolution

  • Apply EAP 6.4.CP8 or higher

Root Cause

  • If a deployment-overlay is applied to the CMP.jar the beans are not longer deployed.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Use a fresh 6.4.x
    • start "bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml"
    • use CLI and deploy the example EAR
    • that shows 2 beans the SLSB and the Entity successfully deployed
    • use CLI to overlay
  • deployment-overlay add --name=EAR_DS_overlay --content=/cmp.jar/META-INF/jbosscmp-jdbc.xml=cmp/jbosscmp-jdbc.xml --deployments=EJB2examples-cmp-simple-ear.ear --redeploy-affected
    • deployment succeeds but only the SLSB is shown
    • if the reference is used with injection (@EJB is commented) it will fail directly because of missing reference
