JBoss 6 - Deploy ejb in war packaging

Question

I am trying to use the new EJB3.1 feature where one can deploy an EJB packaged within a .war file.

I am using Maven 2.2.1 to package the EJB module and then dropping

Answer 1

I found the problem on this one. My web.xml was 2.4 version:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
  version="2.4">

However, for EJBs to be deployed in war packages, it needs to be 3.0 at least:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
      version="3.0">

This was mainly due to the fact that I was creating my war module with a J2EE Maven archetype.
