Deploy trouble - unknown module type

Question

Hi Folks,
I am trying to deploy an EAR file to WLS 6.1. The structure of the ear file
is:
my-ejb.jar
lib/my-java1.jar
lib/my-java2.jar
meta-inf/application.xml
.....the application.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE
Application 1.2//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application_1_2.dtd'>
<application>
<display-name>My App</display-name>
<module>
<ejb>my-ejb.jar</ejb>
</module>
<module>
<java>lib/my-java1.jar</java>
</module>
<module>
<java>lib/my-java2.jar</java>
</module>
</application>
.....and the manifest.mf file in my-ejb.jar is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Ant 1.4.1
Class-Path: lib/my-java1.jar lib/my-java2.jar
.....BUT I'm getting this error when deploying:
Error initializing module lib/my-java1.jar of application
examples:Name=my_deploy,Type=Application from path
C:\bea\wlserver6.1\config\examples\applications\my_deploy.ear:

ava:830)
at
weblogic.management.mbeans.custom.Application.adminLoad(Application.java:525
at weblogic.management.mbeans.custom.Application.load(Application.java:384)
Can anyone help please?!
Thanks

For some strange reason WebLogic doesn't recognize java modules and throws
this exception. Anyway, java modules are client application module, not
utility libraries - just remove them from application.xml. Class-Path: in
the EJB manifest is enough.
