AS7 deploy error - AbstractClassFactory NullPointerException

[paul.setzermann]

Hi,

I´m always getting this exception when I try to deploy my application.

It worked with AS 6.

I don´t know what´s wrong here.

Does anyone have an idea?!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

Is it possible to attach an application which reproduces this issue?

[wolfc]

I'm guessing a SLSB that implements a JDK interface.

[paul.setzermann]

Hi,

Yes that was the problem!

Thanks a lot.

Cheers

[jaikiran]

It's actually a bug in the AS code, so thanks for reporting

[paul.setzermann]

You are welcome.

[paul.setzermann]

By the way, has something changed with @Asynchronous.

It´s not working with AS 7 for me. With AS 6 it does.

I´m using a progress bar and despite the fact that an @Asynchronous method is invoked, the client is waiting for the server to finish.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Paul

[jaikiran]

@Asynchronous isn't supported in AS 7.0. AS 7.0 only has support for EJB lite functionality and async isn't part of it. It will be included in later AS7 release.

[paul.setzermann]

Okay. Thank you. Is there a work around for this? Just put the procedure in a Thread?!

[wolfc]

Alternatively you could use https://github.com/wolfc/jboss-beach-async. Which I also proposed to the EG http://java.net/jira/browse/EJB_SPEC-11.

Note that it is experimental stuff.

[paul.setzermann]

Thanks a lot.

That´s working for me.

Cheers

could you please clarify it? JDK=Java Development Kit?

OK, i've found in Jira that this error was caused by @Stateless annotation on interface. I have no such annotation but similair error, and later it says that can't find ValidationFactory. On JBoss6 project works ok. Any help?

That's a different issue.

Does any of your EJBs implement classes from the JDK (example: classes from java.*, javax.*  or sub packages)?
