For Java EE 5 applications that use shared libraries and annotations, do not set the metadata-complete attribute to true

Troubleshooting


Problem

A problem occurs with Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 applications that use annotations and a shared library. When a Java EE 5 class contains annotations and that class depends on classes that reside in a shared library, setting the []metadata-complete attribute[] to []true[] causes an []@EJB[] annotation to be incorrectly represented in the deployment descriptor as [][] rather than [][]. For Web modules, this situation results in an injection failure.

Symptom

An error, such as the InjectionException exception, might occur if you set the metadata-complete attribute to true for a Java EE 5 application under the following conditions:

  • The application contains an EJB 3.0 or Web 2.5 module.
  • The application uses annotations and a shared library.
