WAS Liberty - EJB - bean does not have a public co

Question

I am experiencing issue when migrating from WAS 7.0 to WAS Liberty Base. I have deployed EAR file in WAS Liberty Base. When I add the mdb-3.2 to server.xml for JMS Messaging, I get the following run-time error on EJB MDB Bean.

[ERROR   ] CNTR5007E: The com.companyname.appname.AdminMDBBean bean class for the AppEAR#AppEJB.jar#AdminMDBBean bean does not have a public constructor that does not take parameters.

This issue solved. The Solution provided here Maven EJB packaging with dependent libraries

This is working by adding

 <defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>

to the EAR POM.XML

Thanks.
