JBoss 5.1.0 - Third party Jar Deployment fail with : Unable to find class path entry ClassPathEntryImpl {path=MyApp/APP-INF/lib/batik-all-1.7.jar} from fop.jar

[mehul.kapadia]

Hi All,

While Trying to Deploy My EJB2.0 Application on JBoss 5.1.0 GA I am getting following Exception on Application server Startup for some of the Jars in MyApp/APP-INF/lib/

I have fop.jar and batik-all-1.7.jar present in my application's APP-INF/lib directory (But Exception complaining those file are not present in that location).

As per my understanding it looks like some bug in JBoss 5.1.0 GA , for the way third party jars are being loaded to JBoss Container. Because After we have removed Class-Path Entry from respective Jar(fop.jar and batik-all-1.7.jar)'s MANIFEST.mf file. This Exception is not coming.

Also there is a java-cup-11a.jar file from which JBoss AS was compplaining about Main-Class entry from MANIFEST.mf file, hence after removing Main-Class entry that exception was resolved.

Please guide me to get rid of this error, without performing manual step to remove Class-Path entry from Each jar's MANIFEST.mf file.

Its been a long time I stuck in this Issue. I really appriciate your help to resolve this Issue.

Please let me know if you need anymore information for clarification.

Hi,

it seems the "APP-INF/lib" is a BEA WebLogic only feature. For JBoss, you should place libraries in the "lib" dir of your EAR.

But there seems to be a workaround: https://community.jboss.org/thread/87741 Did you follow this workaround and modify "jboss-app.xml"? Maybe this does not work for AS 5.1...

Best regards

Wolfgang

I will try this and get back to you.

Thank you Wolfgang.
