Environment entry duplicated for Web module on WebSphere

My ear contains one EJB module and one Web module. One singleton EJB within the EJB module has a String field annotated with @Resource:

@Resource(name = "lecmConfigServiceLookupName") private String lecmConfigServiceLookupName;

The META-INF/ejb-jar.xml specifies a mapping for this environment entry:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ejb-jar xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsd" version="3.1"> <enterprise-beans> <session id="ConfigSingleton"> <ejb-name>ConfigSingleton</ejb-name> <ejb-class>ru.brbpm.custom_search_ejb.ConfigSingleton</ejb-class> <session-type>Singleton</session-type> <init-on-startup>true</init-on-startup> <env-entry> <env-entry-name>lecmConfigServiceLookupName</env-entry-name> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> <env-entry-value>ejb/lecm/common-service.jar/ConfigServiceImpl#ru.brbpm.lecm.shared.api.ConfigServiceRemote</env-entry-value> </env-entry> </session> </enterprise-beans> </ejb-jar>

When I get to deploying the ear to WebSphere 8.5.5.3 I see two identical environment entries - one for the EJB module and the other for the Web module: enter image description here

The entry for the web module also does not have the default value and adding an ejb-jar.xml to WEB-INF folder does not help.

How do I get rid of the environment entry for the Web module or at least provide it with a default value? As long as the entry for the Web module is not specified the application will not start.

Solution

  • Figured it out - turns out the Web module had an unnecessary transitive dependency on the ejb-client of the EJB module. WebSphere was detecting the EJBs in the the ejb-client.jar that was in the Web module's WEB-INF/lib.
