I have followed the steps at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/ear-deploying-module-library-dependency/ to create and configure EAR module. T

There are lots of frameworks related jar (Spring, hibernate, XML parsin, logging etc) that i placed in simple java proeject and EAR proejct reference it. On buildign EAR file all these jars are exported in lib folder or EAR. I assume the manifest files for each Web Module should have entries for all these jars, so i tried creating menifest files as given in URL above. The manifest files are created by MyElipse but these do not have entreis of any jar from EAR lib. Am i missing something?

anyz,

Please paste your installation details here from the menu MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
Are the EAR and the java projects based on 1.4 or 5.0 specification?
If they are with 5.0 specification , can you check if the same issue exists with 1.4 specification?
Are you able to deploy the application without errors?

Let us know how it works for you.

anyz,

What is the J2EE specification for EAR project?
Are you able to deploy the application without errors?

Can you please answer the above questions?

What is the J2EE specification for EAR project?
Are you able to deploy the application without errors?

It has J2EE 5.0 version
I can’t go back to JDK 1.4, so could not test it as suggested. With 5.0 its not working.

anyz,

With Java EE 5, any library required by an EAR’s module should go into the EAR/lib dir, then the application server automatically exploded that to the class path of the EAR’s modules, you don’t need to update the manifests.

Also the application.xml file has become optional, more information here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/intro_ee5/

Let us know how it works for you.

Thanks a lot for clearing things. Application.xml is also optional though its properly updated by MyEclipse. I will give the generated EAR a go.
