problems upgrading from 4.03 to 4.2.2GA

[mranandkumar]

deployment of the same ear file works in 4.0.3 but fails in 4.2.2

Getting a NoClassDefFoundError error when deploying war file embedded inside an ear file.

The class that is not found is present in one of jars in WEBINF/lib directory of the war file.

I can see the jar in tmp\deploy\tmp44821css.ear-contents\css-exp.war\WEB-INF\lib

deploy\jboss-web.deployer\META-INF\jboss-service.xml has following properties set
Java2ClassLoadingCompliance=false
UseJBossWebLoader=false

jboss-app.xml in ear file has
<loader-repository>css-1.0.0:service=LoaderRepository</loader-repository>

From the jmx-console I access the LoaderRepository, the URLs list contains tmp\deploy\tmp44821css.ear-contents\css-exp.war

displayClassInfo - returns "Not loaded in repository cache".

Do you have all the classes/jars referenced by this lt/monarch/chart/servlet/ChartServlet in the classpath?

[mranandkumar]

Thank you for your response.

The problem got resolved. Yes the class and referenced classes were in the path. On debug I noticed it was finding the class but then throwing an error. I had used 7-zip to delete the log4j.jar from the war. This must have corrupted the file somehow. Once I created a new war and ear using jar commands it worked.

Thanks

You have to be very careful using tools like 7-zip to manipulate jar/war/ear files. Many of these tools use compression algorithms that are incompatible with those used by the jvm. A good test to see if such a tool works correctly is to use the jar utility to attempt to extract the jar/war/ear file contents afterwards.
