  • jboss-ejb3.xml parse error during deployment after upgrade to JBoss 6.4.5 from Jboss 6.2.0

  • Why there is a parsing error if I upgrade to EAP 6.4.x or later?
  • The jboss-ejb3.xml marked muliple EJB's as clustered but it seems not all are handled correct
<jee:assembly-descriptor>
    <c:clustering>
        <jee:ejb-name>my.example.FirstBean</jee:ejb-name>
        <jee:ejb-name>my.example.SecondBean</jee:ejb-name>
        <c:clustered>true</c:clustered>
    </c:clustering>
</jee:assembly-descriptor>
