Number of issues running jboss 5.1 w/ admin-console (embedde

[meetoblivion]

I've observed quite a few issues using the admin console.

I have an EAR file deployment. When I deploy via the UI i get the following errors:

org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfszip:/usr/local/jboss/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ImageServer.ear/imageserver-ejb.jar/

Even though the EAR file is in fact valid. I do get what looks like a valid deployment afterwards (loads my EJBs and claims to start my tomcat context) but the web uri does not respond.

The interesting thing is if I stop jboss; copy the EAR file into the deployment path, then start, the EAR file does deploy but it knocks out the admin-console. See below stack trace.

[xmedeko]

Maybe you can fill in a new bug at

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EMBJOPR

[shelly.mcgowan]

I am not able to reproduce this failure deploying WhatUpDawg.ear (attached to https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7032) via EMBJOPR. The deployment/start is successful. Are you using the distribution jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip? Can you provide additional details on your environment/setup/installation that may be relevant?

[rwfuller]

This appears to be the same issue I am having. I posted at the deployment forum.

http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=157292

Since the post I have been able to isolate the problem and it appears it is a classloader issue. I am using Seam 2.1.1.GA and RichFaces 3.3.1.GA. If I downgrade to the same version as the admin-console, Seam 2.1.0.SP1 and RichFaces 3.3.0.GA, then the admin-console deploys.

I am thinking it is a classpath issue and the applications are stepping on each other. Is there a way to isolate the application so that it uses its own classpath first?

[ips]

The following lines contained in admin-console.war's WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml are supposed to isolate its classloader from other apps:

<class-loading>
 <loader-repository>
 org.jboss.on:loader=embedded
 <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
 </loader-repository>
 </class-loading>

However, it's possible this isn't working correctly in AS5... What version of the app server are you running? Where do you have the RF and Seam jars deployed - in your own webapp's WEB-INF/lib or somewhere at the app server level?

[rwfuller]

I am using the jdk6 version of 5.1.0.GA. I have an ear file that contains the RF and Seam jars.

[rwfuller]

One question, I do not have the jboss-web.xml in my application. Do I need it?

[ips]

Ok, thanks. I'll try to reproduce this.

In the mean time, yeah, you could try adding a jboss-web.xml to your webapp and configuring an isolated classloader and see if that fixes the issue. For more info on setting that up, see:

http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/classloadingconfiguration

[rwfuller]

I have been unable to isolate my application's classpath. I have added a jboss-app.xml file in my ear in the META-INF folder. When I do this, the server hangs during deployment. If I kill the process and remove the jboss-app.xml, then it deploys but with the same issues if I include admin-console.war.

Here is my jboss-app.xml file I am including.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE jboss-app PUBLIC
 "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
 "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_5_0.dtd">

<jboss-app>
 <loader-repository>
 jmat.com:archive=jmat-ear
 <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
 </loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

[rwfuller]

I have found the solution. You have to isolate the projects if they use different jar file versions. My issue was fixed when I changed java2ParentDelegation to true above.

[smarlow]

meetoblivion,

Have you been following the posts from "rwfuller"? If yes, it could be interesting to see if you are hitting the same issue (conflicting jar versions).

A quick test might be to try recreating the issue in a new installation of JBoss (in a different folder on your machine). In the test system, deploy WhatUpDawg.ear and see if you can recreate the same failures.

Best Regards,
Scott
