Error deploy EAR in jboss 5.1

[jesvi]

When we try deploy an application in ear format in JBoss 5.1.0  we have the next error in the process of deployment:

13:18:43,433 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console

In this post (http://community.jboss.org/message/5769)  , the solution is remove Main-Class attribute of manifest.mf, but in this file we don´t have this attribute to remove.

We have the follow structure of directories :

deploy/archive.ear

                 |-lib

                 |-META-INF

                 |                |-application.xml

                 |                |-MANIFEST.MF

                 |-web.war

I attach  the manifest.mf site in archive.ear/META-INF

The same EAR deploy in JBoss4.2.3 without problems.

Any Idea?

Thanks

Does the .war contain any META-INF/MANIFEST.MF? What are its contents?

[jesvi]

Hi ,

Yes, the web.war contains a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

The file contents:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.0
Created-By: 16.0-b13 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

[jaikiran]

Can you post the output of

jar -tf web.war

[jaikiran]

Also please post the contents of your application.xml file.

[jesvi]

I attach  a output.out  file with the output of   "tar -tf web.war" and the application.xml file site in  archive.ear/META-INF

Thanks for your fast reply

Hi,

WEB-INF\lib contains a lot of JAR files which are already part of JBoss and which will result in conflicts. For example:

1) commons-... jar files: some of them are already in JBoss, others not. "commons-logging-1.0.4.jar" and "commons-logging.jar" are probably duplicates, and others are present in different versions, too.

2) "hibernate3.jar" - Jboss already contains Hibernate, and probably a different version, which might result in conflicts.

3) jboss-....jar - remove them all

4) log4.jar - in jboss

5) xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar - don't bundle a XML api, JBoss already has one. Including your own xml jars will fail for sure.

6) standard.jar - isn't this JSTL? If yes: already in JBoss - remove it.

...to be continued...

I don't know where you got all this stuff from, but please clean up. Best is to start a new project and include only required JARs. Every time you hit a "ClassNotFoundException", add one more JAR.

Hope this helps

Wolfgang

Hi,

Unfortunatelly , the indications of remove jars seems that not work.

We remove the  librarys of WEB-INF/lib in the order you specified. first remove commons-*jar , then restart jboss to redeploy.. , second remove  hibernate3.jar , and restart again .etc etc. In each restart we remove the content of the  folders server/default/tmp , data and work.

Even if we remove all the JAR´s of  WEB-INF/lib , the same error "Expected either '.jar' or '.jar/' at the end of web.war" appear when we try to start and deploy our EAR.

We don´t obtain a "ClassNotFoundException" yet..

Thanks anyway

Some MANIFEST.MF probably has a Main-Class attribute which is triggering this issue. Or maybe a jboss-client.xml. Try looking for these in your application.

[sivaprasad9394]

you try changing your code like below format,

<jboss-web>

<class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">

<loader-repository>myapp:loader=web.war

<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>

</loader-repository>

</class-loading>

<context-root>proyect</context-root>

</jboss-web>

[jesvi]

In the EAR there are 2 MANIFEST.MF

In C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\oraMain\deploy\archive.ear\META-INF

The file contents:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.0
Created-By: 16.0-b13 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Built-By: Hewlett-Packard
Class-Path: lib/ifxjdbc.jar lib/ojdbc14.jar lib/ojdbc6.jar

..................................................................................................................................

In C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\oraMain\deploy\archive.ear\web.war\META-INF

The file contents:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.0
Created-By: 16.0-b13 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No has a Main-Class

The EAR not contain a jboss-client.xml

[jesvi]

Hi,

In which file we have to include the <jboss-web> label that you specify?

Thanks

[jaikiran]

Class-Path: lib/ifxjdbc.jar lib/ojdbc14.jar lib/ojdbc6.jar

Try removing that entry from the MANIFEST.MF. There are some known issues with Class-Path entry processing with MANIFEST.MF in JBoss AS-5. Anyway, you won't need that entry since, by default any jar in .ear/lib folder is made available in the classpath of the .ear application.

[jesvi]

Hi,

I removed that line in the MANIFEST.MF before , trying several things because not find Main-Class in this file but not work.  Now I remove the line with Class-Path again in MANIFEST.MF, in web.war I remove all JAR´s in WEB-INF/lib then , but unfortunately the same error still appears at jboss startup.

[jaikiran]

Is that .ear file (the simple one which reproduces this error), something that you can attach here?
