JBoss JAXB class loading problem

[derjohannes]

Hello!

I am using JAXB 2.0 on a JBoss 4.0.4GA server. The problem is, that JBoss is choosing the wrong (v1.x) JAXB classes that are part of "jboss-j2ee.jar".

How can I get JBoss to load the JAXB classes ("javax.xml.bind...") from the
jars in the .ear-archive (jaxb-api.jar, jaxb-impl.jar and so on) INSTEAD of loading them from jboss-j2ee.jar?

I read "JBossClassLoadingUseCases"
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossClassLoadingUseCases)

and "ClassLoadingConfiguration" (http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ClassLoadingConfiguration)

in the JBoss Wiki, but don't get the application run correctly.

As soon as I add the following code in META-INF/jboss-app.xml:

<jboss-app>
 <loader-repository>
 javax.xml.bind:loader=foobar.ear
 <loader-repository-config>
 java2ParentDelegation=false
 </loader-repository-config>
 </loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

I get errors like

How can I simply tell JBoss to load all javax.xml.bind.* classes from the JAXB2.0-jars in the ear, not from the old jboss4.0.4/server/default/lib/jboss-j2ee.jar AND to leave other class loading mechanisms untouched (like for log4j and so on)?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am assuminig that you have the JAXB classes at the root of your EAR archive (or some other accesible location). Do you have the JAR files listed in the relevant MANIFEST.MF entries in your application components (ie WAR, EJB)?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the JAXB jars are at the root of the EAR archive.

foobar_integration.jar contains the java code using JAXB.
foobar_presentation.war contains the web application.
Both jars are in the root folder of foobar.ear ("EAR-ARCHIVE").

The JAXB (2.0) jars are listed in

EAR-ARCHIVE/foobar_integration.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF...

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5

I think these are all the relevant MANIFEST.MF files where the JAXB jars have to be listed. Am I right?

Why does JBoss prefer the old JAXB classes in jboss-j2ee.jar from the \jboss-4.0.4.GA\server\default\lib folder?

[derjohannes]

Can anyone give me a hint how to force JBoss to use the JAXB (2.0) classes from the jars I deploy instead of using the outdated ones in

jboss4.0.4/server/default/lib/jboss-j2ee.jar ?


Thank you in advance for your help.

[weston.price]

I assume you have the the <use-jboss-web-loader> set to true in your jboss-service.xml file of your Tomcat configuration correct? Also, do you really require a scoped log4j and commons-logging configuration? I would start with simply overriding the JAXB stuff and then add things you need as you go along.

[ajay662]

DerJohannes, were you able to get it working?If so, can you post your solution here.

I am in a silimiar situation where I need to use JAXB 2.0 with jboss 4.0.5, but in my case I am getting a classCastException

This is what I have done so far

Included following JAXB jars with my EAR

jaxb-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar

Added following to jboss-app.xml

<loader-repository> javax.xml.bind:loader=ENMSApp.ear
 <loader-repository-config> java2ParentDelegation=false
 </loader-repository-config>
 </loader-repository>

Changed META-INF/MANIFEST.MF for my EJB JAR and WAR to include classpath. MANIFEST.MF now looks like the following for both:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.2
Created-By: 1.5.0_08-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Class-Path: jaxb-api.jar jaxb-impl.jar

What am I missing? Why am I still getting classCastException?

I am sure many people have already solved this problem. Would really appreciate if somebody could post their solution here. Thanks.
