Deploying the attached dvd-ear.ear file in 6.0.0.Final produces the following errors. This was documented originally in http://community.jboss.org/thread/160503 , but it seems that no issue was opened. The problem appears to be the inclusion in the EAR /lib directory of an EJB JARFile (in this case ejb-ejb...) which contains a persistence.xml file of its own. In my case, this jar was included inadvertently by Maven because a parent project mistakenly claimed it as a runtime dependency when in fact it only needed certain annotation classes in the JAR for a non-runtime phase.

If I build the same EAR without ejb-ejb in /lib, it deploys correctly.

The theme in various discussions of this seems to be that inclusion of an EJB JARFile in /lib should not imply that it is to be treated as an <ejbModule> if no <ejbModule> entry exists for it in application.xml.

Here are the errors:
