JBoss7: java.lang.InstantiationException: org.jboss.as.weld.webtier.jsf.WeldApplicationFactory

[rumiat]

I am deploying seam 2 application in JBoss 7 and getting following exception while startup. Any idea?

Try this against latest AS7 nightly build. It should be fixed there.

[rumiat]

I have tried that too but it dint work for me

[jaikiran]

Can you attach the application which reproduces this issue?

[dgarson]

Finally after a lot of troubleshooting, I have solved this bug.

It appears that despite the exclusion of the 'main' slot (JSF2) for the jsf-impl and jsf-api dependencies, the JSF2 implementation was being used when going through the Weld classloader. In order to correct this, you must go into your module.xml file for each of the Weld dependencies and change the dependency on "javax.faces.api" to use a slot="1.2" value (assuming the name for the JSF 1.2 implementation module slot was '1.2')

Wonderful!!! I really appreciate you!! I think that's the best way to do it so far.

[lucabur]

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue, but unfortunately your solution is a little bit obsecure for me. Could you please clarify some points:

1. You say: "you must go into your module.xml file for each of the Weld dependencies ..." which module.xml are you referring to ?
2. Can you give an example of this modification on a module.xml sample file ?

Thank you in advance.

Luca Buraggi

[kennardconsulting]

I believe David is referring to:

• modules/org/jboss/as/weld/main/module.xml
• modules/org/jboss/weld/core/main/module.xml

I added slot="1.2" to both of the...

     <module name="javax.faces.api"/>

...and it worked. You still need org.jboss.jbossfaces.JSF_CONFIG_NAME=Mojarra-1.2 in your web.xml, mind.

Thanks David!

[devsisodia]

I followed the link and it worked for me. Thanks a lot David!!!

AdditionalIy I  would like to have comments on below:

Below are two steps i have to additionally performed than described in migration documentation(https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html-single/Migration_Guide…) to upgrade seam2.2.2 and jsf1.2 richfaces 3.3.3. application. I need your expert advise as to this is really needed or this is result of some miss-configuration in my application?
