Commerce Server EJB SERs

Question

Hi,
Apologies for the cross-post, but the problem seems pertinent to all
three groups.
This is my environment:
- WebLogic 5.0 on RedHat Linux 6.1 using Oracle
- JDK 1.2.2 RC4 from BlackDown
- WebLogic Commerce and Personalization Components
I am currently experimenting with the Commerce and Perspnalization
components on 5.0. While starting up, here is one of the errors I see:
Fri Feb 25 20:26:24 EST 2000:<E> <EJB> Could not deploy:
'/opt/local/weblogic50/weblogicac/deploy/weblogic/oracle805/classes/examples/buybeans/item/CoffeeBeanImplDD.ser'
Possible reasons include:
1. The pathname to the bean is incorrect
2. The bean or an interface class have been modified but
the deployment descriptor has not been rebuilt
3. javax_ejb.zip and/or javax_jts.zip are not in the classpath
4. A class that the bean or the interface classes depend on
is not in the EJB jar file or the classpath
5. The database mappings in the deployment descriptor do not
match the database definition
weblogic.ejb.common.DeploymentException: IOException opening JAR file
/opt/local/weblogic50/weblogicac/deploy/weblogic/oracle805/classes/examples/buybeans/item/CoffeeBeanImplDD.ser;
nested exception is:
weblogic.ejb.common.DeploymentException: File
/opt/local/weblogic50/weblogicac/deploy/weblogic/oracle805/classes/examples/buybeans/item/CoffeeBeanImplDD.ser
is not a JAR
weblogic.ejb.common.DeploymentException: File
/opt/local/weblogic50/weblogicac/deploy/weblogic/oracle805/classes/examples/buybeans/item/CoffeeBeanImplDD.ser
is not a JAR
at weblogic.ejb.internal.EJBManagerImpl.deploy(EJBManagerImpl.java,
Compiled Code)
I have verified that the bean that is supposedly causing the problem
does indeed exist. Has anyone else run into this problem, and how have
they resolved it? My classpath, etc. look quite alright.
Cheers,
Prashanth

Hi Prashanth,
Starting with WebLogic version 5.0, we no longer support the deployment of EJBs using .ser files. Your EJB must be
deployed from a jar file. Check out http://www.weblogic.com/docs50/classdocs/API_ejb/EJB_upgrade.html for
information about how to upgrade your EJB so that it can be deployed in WebLogic 5.0.
