AS 7.0.10.Final... java.lang.ClassCastException: __redirected.__SAXParserFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory

[naeem.ally]

I get the error java.lang.ClassCastException: __redirected.__SAXParserFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory  when my page is loading.

This is the modules/org/apache/tiles/main/module.xml

{code:xml}
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.tiles">
    <resources>
       <resource-root path="tiles-api-2.2.2.jar"/>
       <resource-root path="tiles-core-2.2.2.jar"/>
       <resource-root path="tiles-jsp-2.2.2.jar"/>
       <resource-root path="tiles-servlet-2.2.2.jar"/>
       <resource-root path="tiles-template-2.2.2.jar"/>
       <resource-root path="commons-digester-2.0.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.slf4j"/>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.beanutils"/>

        <module name="javax.servlet.api"/>
        <module name="javax.xml.parsers"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>
{code}

and i created a modules/javax/xml/parsers/main/module.xml

{code:xml}
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="javax.xml.parsers">
    <resources>
       <resource-root path="xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.xml.parsers"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

I've added javax.xml.parsers to the MANIFEST and to the jboss-deployment-structure.xml

Thread {thread:id=719288} seems like a similar problem but no resolutions found there either.

I don't think it's a good idea to put apis from the JDK (javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory) into your module (xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar). Maybe you can try something like in jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/modules/org/jboss/as/webservices/server/integration/main/module.xml:

        <module name="org.apache.xalan" services="export" export="true"/>

        <module name="org.apache.xerces" services="export" export="true"/>

I knew that adding an api from jdk is not a good idea but I couldn't figure out which module to add.

The module is javax.api

You need to make sure the path is in modules/javax/api/main/module.xml

and then just add <module name="javax.api"/> as a dependency to your module.

Please can you tell me how to add dependency in standalone.xml file?  The following syntax is correct?

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:ee:1.0">

   <dependency>   

    <module name="javax.api"/>             

   </dependency>

  </subsystem>

Add dependency to your module, not in standalone.xml.

For example, for the question above, add dependency by editing modules/org/apache/tiles/main/module.xml as following:

1. <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.tiles"> 
2.  
3.  
4.     <resources> 
5.        <resource-root path="tiles-api-2.2.2.jar"/> 
6.        <resource-root path="tiles-core-2.2.2.jar"/> 
7.        <resource-root path="tiles-jsp-2.2.2.jar"/> 
8.        <resource-root path="tiles-servlet-2.2.2.jar"/> 
9.        <resource-root path="tiles-template-2.2.2.jar"/> 
10.        <resource-root path="commons-digester-2.0.jar"/> 
11.     </resources> 
12.  
13.  
14.     <dependencies> 
15.        <module name="javax.api"/>
16.         <module name="org.slf4j"/> 
17.         <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/> 
18.         <module name="org.apache.commons.beanutils"/> 
19.         <module name="org.slf4j.jcl-over-slf4j"/> 
20.         <module name="javax.servlet.api"/> 
21.         <module name="javax.xml.parsers"/> 
22.     </dependencies> 
23. </module>

Hi

I am facing this same issue during deployment of ear. I tried this solution by adding <module name="javax.api"/> in jboss deployment descriptor file of ear .

Could you please suggest what can be the issue ?

Thanks
