Jboss 7 - depoyment error

[mcatalin23]

I'm trying to test my application on Jboss 7 application server instead of Jboss 6.

The deplyment is not working in Jboss 7 with my ear file although it is working in Jboss 6.

I get following Error:

org.jboss.modules.ModuleLoadException: Circular export path in deployment.<app>.ear.<Project_name>.jar:main

Can anyone help me with this error. What could cause this error message?

The complete error is listed below:

I am facing the same issue. I think the problem is related to Class-Path entries in the contained jar's manifests. I searched for some constellation like jar1 -> jar2 -> jar1 but did not find any obvious problems. I only have dependencies like jar1 -> jar2 -> jar3 and jar4 -> jar2,jar3 but that should possibly, shouldn't it?

[jaikiran]

Is there a application that you can attach which reproduces this issue? Or any other details?

[dfeufel]

I attached some test ear. These are the dependencies:

war -> jar1, jar3

jar1 -> jar2

jar2 -> jar3

Ok, you might mention, that the dependency to jar3 inside the war is not neccessary, but there is no cycle and imho this should work anyway.

I can not reproduce this issue with your test.ear, it deploys without errors in JBoss 7.0.0.

[jaikiran]

Deploys fine for me too.

[dfeufel]

Hmm, after cleaning up my deployments directory the same ear works here, too. I will do some analysis and come back to you.

[mcatalin23]

My case in the same ear as in the post # 3 with following modification:

jar1 -> jar2

jar2 -> jar1

So I do have circular references into MANIFEST.MF files between jars.

But the same ear is working into Jboss 6.

The problem is only into Jboss 7. (Getting: Circular export path in ...)

What could be the solution for this issue to make my ear to work into Jboss AS 7?

Why is it working into Jboss 6 although I have circular refs?
