Question

I have an EJB JAR + JSF WAR that runs fine on local GlassFish deployed from NetBeans, but if i try to deploy the WAR on an online GlassFish, I get the following error:

Exception while loading the app : 
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: 
ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: 
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: CONFIGURATION FAILED! 
com.ejb.entity.myEntity

EDIT GlassFish Log Message:

Message ID

Unsanitized stacktrace from failed start... com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException

Complete Message

Also:

• EJB deploys fine on online GF
• EJB @ local GF: sometimes yes, mostly not: http://pastebin.com/9R1acDVq
• The EJB is pretty messy, both interfaces implement the same methods: When a session bean has remote as well as local business interface, there should not be any method common to both the interfaces. Should I fix this first?

Both servers are configured the same way. The EJB is imported in the WAR. What could be the problem? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!

Answer 1

When a session bean has remote as well as local business interface, there should not be any method common to both the interfaces.

This is a NetBeans warning which I thought would cause no problems since the web application was using Local interfaces only. After removing the Remote interfaces from the EJB, I was able to deploy the WAR on both local and online GlassFish.
