Delpoyment exception on JBoss5.1, used to work fine on 4.0.3

[sepgs2004]

Hi

JBoss5.1 AS, JDK 1.6.0_22

Initially got this exception:

org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration

On my classpath, here are the JARs where I could find these class files:

Class - org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration; Found at the following places
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/MY_PROJECT.ear/MY_PROJECTWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/xerces-2.4.0.jar
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/MY_PROJECT.ear/MY_PROJECTWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar

Class - org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration; Found at the following places
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/MY_PROJECT.ear/MY_PROJECTWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/xerces-2.4.0.jar
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar
C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/MY_PROJECT.ear/MY_PROJECTWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar

I thought I had to remove xerces-2.4.0.jar and xercesImpl.jar from my project web-inf lib. I did so.

Then I ended up in the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

Class - javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory; Found at:

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar

C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_22/jre/lib/rt.jar

I removed xml-apis*.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar from my project web-inf lib. I am not sure if I have to do this. Please advise.

Now I am having this error:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving method
"javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.setErrorHandler(Lorg/xml/sax/ErrorHandler;)V"
the class loader (instance of org/jboss/classloader/spi/base/BaseClassLoader)
of the current class, org/apache/log4j/xml/DOMConfigurator, and the
class loader (instance of <bootloader>) for resolved class, javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilder,
have different Class objects for the type org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler used in the signature

Please let me know if there is any further information necessary. It looks like log4j refers some XML parsing class.

Thanks for your help

I am attaching my JBossServer Console Log as a text file.

[wdfink]

Looks like a version conflict between JBoss and your app.

I see two options to solve the problem.

Refactor the application and use the same version of xerces as JBoss.

Or separate your application from the JBoss libraries with a special load-repository (element of the EAR deployment descriptor).

But I'm not sure ATM whether this separate from endorsed libraries.

Thanks Wolf-Dieter

I do not know if I understood what you meant by refactor... however, this is what I did. Let me know if I am on the wrong direction.

I removed xerces*.jar from my project webinf lib. Then I added C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar to the build path and recompiled the EAR.

So I do not have xercesImpl.jar anywhere else in my project folder. As a matter of fact, C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed is the only location I have xercesImpl.jar.

I have included my server.log extract and boot.log.

Still I am getting this error again (could indicate something else). This is my server.log extract:

[sepgs2004]

Hi,

To revisit what has happened so far, my Project EAR had the following JARS packaged:

xerces-2.4.0.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar, xml-apis-1.3.04.jar, xml-apis.jar, xmlParserAPIs.jar, log4j-1.2.8.jar, log4j.jar, sax2.jar, pullparser.jar.

The reason I am listing these out is - I ended up removing all these because of ClassCastExceptions.

Now, I am glad JBoss 5 AS, on startup, stepped more forward after all these "removals".

We had not upgraded since JBoss 4.0.3 which could be 5 years or I do not know if JBoss 5 had gone through huge huge changes.

I think I am still not completely clear on interpreting the link between  removal of JARs to the classes mentioned in the ClassCastException.  Because, when I removed sax2.jar and pullparser.jar, the Exception that I  had, had some Class names that are not in these packages. Can anyone  explain this? I might be on a similar situation below... please you may  want to read on further before answering...

However, my project is still NOT deployed successfully. I am including this exception and details:

10:04:22,920 INFO  [ServiceLocator]  Entering ServiceLocator

10:04:23,076 SEVERE [ServiceLocator]  Error while initializing ServiceLocator :javax.naming.NoInitialContextException:

Cannot instantiate class:  org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

[Root exception is  java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory cannot be  cast to javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory]

10:04:23,076 INFO  [ServiceLocator]  Exiting ServiceLocator

10:04:23,076 INFO  [ServiceLocator]  Entering ServiceLocator.getDataSource()

Ok, this seems to happen when JBoss AS is trying to lookup for datasource through JNDI.

On this exception I have two classes mentioned: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory CANNOT BE CAST TO javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory.

With this information, assuming we have some more JARS packaged in our EAR, how am I going to locate the JAR in question. Please advice.

However, I did search for these class files on all the JARs (of my JBossAS and JDK together)... Here is the results.

The Class org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory is available in the following JARs:

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/all/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/applet.jar

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/common/lib/jnpserver.jar

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/applet.jar

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/minimal/lib/jnpserver.jar

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/client/jnp-client.jar

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/client/jbossjmx-ant.jar

Similarly, the Class javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory is available in the following JARs:

C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/mlo.ear/mloWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/easj2ee.jar

C:/Program  Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/rt.jar

This does not seem to give me any location in my project folder. Can someone help me please in getting past this Exception?

Please ask me if you need to see the whole log file. Can I use jmx-console or some admin tool to track this down?

Do you compile your application with some JBoss4.0 libs?

I suppose that you use the InitialContextx in your code.

Thanks Wolf-Dieter,

I believe I recompiled/built my EAR in JBossAS 5 environment.  My build path does not contain any reference to JBoss 4 environment, because on this machine I do not have JBoss 4.x. I checked out the project fresh and clean/build using Eclipse. So we rule out this possibility.

About InitialContext

Yeah, in my project, I have reference to InitialContext in quiet a number of places.. For example..

We use Ibatis for most of our database transactions. On Ibatis, SqlMapConfig.xml is used to mention about the connection.

<transactionManager type="JDBC">

    <dataSource type="JNDI">

      <property name="DataSource" value="java:comp/env/MYPROJECT_DS"/>    

    </dataSource>

</transactionManager>

So IBatis would do a JNDI lookup.

We have a servlet that, I think, for displaying JNDI tree and test Database connectivity for our application. It has some references to initialcontext (as mentioned below)

context = new InitialContext();

dataSource = (DataSource) context.lookup("java:comp/env/"+dataSourceName);

I will think over, how this matters.

Do you think I need to get a newer IBatis library?

Or do you think, I should remove the JAR, thats in my project, that has InitialContext?

Which is - C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/MYPROJECT.ear/MYPROJECTWeb.war/WEB-INF/lib/easj2ee.jar

Whichever the answer is, could you please give me a little bit of explanation, why we are doing that?

Thank you

I think, this InitialContext.class is also packaged with JDK 1.5 itself. Is this the reason?

However, they were also part of j2sdk1.4.2_11 which we were using in our JBoss 4.0.x.

Did JBoss AS 5 changed its classloading strategy compared to JBoss 4.0?
