ejbc gives error for valid weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

[PC Sien]

I get SAXParseException when building ejb jar in WLS600:-

weblogic.ejbc -compiler javac E:\work\v20\tmp\wfeimpl.jar E:\work\v20\distribution\ejbs\wfeejb.jar
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "entity-descriptor"
must match "(entity-cache?,lifecycle?,persistence?,entity-clustering?)".
at weblogic.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1008)
at weblogic.apache.xerces.validators.common.XMLValidator.reportRecoverableXMLError(XMLValidator.java:1280)
..

the dtd says :-
..
<!ELEMENT entity-descriptor (
pool?,
entity-cache?,
lifecycle?,
persistence?,
entity-clustering?,
invalidation-target?)
>

Why is the SAX parser validating against a different element spec?

The <pool> stanza configures the behavior of the WebLogic Server free pool for
a stateless session and message driven EJBs. Look like your bean is an Entity
bean so <pool> won't apply

<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>AccountBean</ejb-name>
<entity-descriptor>
<entity-cache>
<max-beans-in-cache>200</max-beans-in-cache>
</entity-cache>
</entity-descriptor>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>

No, entity beans are pooled as well.

Something is off here. It looks like the parser is finding the wls 5.1
dtd. Are you sure that you showed us the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml that your
are compiling?

Also, some of your settings are likely to be incorrect. In particular,
I would suggest removing the <method-intf>Remote</method-intf> from your
transaction declaration. You most likely want Required on both the
Remote and Home interfaces. Also, you probably do not want
delay-updates-until-end-of-tx set to false.

It turns out the weblogic600-ejb-jar.dtd file in the weblogic.jar in the
weblogic 6.0 installation is incorrect. I unzipped the weblogic.jar
file and extracted weblogic600-ejb-jar.dtd and found the following:-

<!--
The entity-descriptor element is used to specify deployment parameters
that are applicable to an entity bean.

Used in: weblogic-enterprise-bean
-->
<!ELEMENT entity-descriptor (
entity-cache?,
lifecycle?,
persistence?,
entity-clustering?)
>

The weblogic600-ejb-jar.dtd file is dated 2001/05/24

I am showing the exact weblogic-ejb-jar.xml I have.
It appears that I have a version of the weblogic.jar which has
a bug!
