Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am attempting to deploy a JAR on App Server 8 PE. The application does not contain any EJBs but I understand that the ejb-jar.xml descriptor is still needed. I am running the app server on Windows XP.

My issue is as follows:

I understand that the root element for the ejb-jar.xml file (<ejb-jar>) is required. Since I have no EJBs, I should be able to leave this root element blank (as I have in previoius successful deployments to earlier versions of Sun App Server). When I attempt to deploy, I receive the following DTD Validation error via the admin console:

The content of element type "ejb-jar" is incomplete, it must match "(description?,display-name?,small-icon?,large-icon?,enterprise-beans,relationships?,assembly-descriptor?,ejb-client-jar?)".

Am I missing something?

My ejb-jar.xml file looks like:

<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">

<ejb-jar>

</ejb-jar>

Many thanks in advance to any assistance...
