Cannot access Seam Components within JAR from WAR in [JBOSS 7.1.1.FINAL and SEAM 2.2.1.CR2]

Question

Problem: I have an ejb-jar-1.jar which defines EJBs and Entities. The project structure is listed below. During deployment all EJBs are successfully bootstraped > started and their JNDI locations are printed in a log file. There's a class in my WAR file which needs to access a NAMED QUERY defined on an Entity which resides inside ejb-jar-1.jar. When this piece of code is run it throws an illegalArgumentException saying NAMED QUERY cannot be found. On a different note I also cannot get reference to SEAM components that were started when ejb-jar1.jar was deployed. I printed the JNDI tree from app-war.war file and it does not have any JNDI resources from ejb-jar-1.jar. So, I believe this is a context issue where JNDI resources available in ejb-jar-1.jar cannot be seen from app-war.war.

Any suggestions on how to access JNDI resources available in ejb-jar-1.jar from app-war.war?

Answer 1

Think you need seam.properties in your jar in META-INF

Answer 2

Bit late but oh well...for EE6 you need to use JNDI portable syntax, eg. add following annotations to all beans in the secondary module

@JndiName("java:app/NameOfModule/NameOfBean")
