Re: Could not resolve reference for persistence/jpaEntity#org.apache.geronimo.persistence.PersistenceUnitGBean

I'm using Geronimo 2.1, I have an ear file containing an EJB project with a single stateless session bean and a JPA project containing four entity beans. When I export the ear file and deploy it to Geronimo via the console, I get:-

At least one deployment problem:[org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Could not resolve reference at deploy time for query ?name=persistence/jpaEntity#org.apache.geronimo.persistence.PersistenceUnitGBean. No GBean references found.]

I searched the internet in order to see if anyone else encountered this issue. I found that Shawn (Jiang) responded to someone who had exactly the same issue as myself on IBM DeveloperWorks. Shawn asked for the EAR package structure, here it is:-

Top level:-

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
        /geronimo-application.xml
jpaFacadeClient.jar
jpaFacade.jar
jpaEntity.jar

If I unzip the ear file and run a jar tvf on the jpaEntity.jar file I have:-

C:\jpaTestEAR\jpaEntity>jar tvf jpaEntity.jar
    58 Wed Jun 24 12:31:06 BST 2009 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Shawn also requested the EAR file, which I will attach. Previously I had attempted to deploy this directly to the app server from Eclipse and I wasn't getting as far as this. I posted a question to which Shawn responded, I did not reply to this as my second son was born on Monday, hence I was a tad proccupied with other things, so Shawn is you read this I wasn't blanking you out, but many thanks for responding my last question in such a prompt manner anyway.jpaTestEAR.ear
