Redeploy causes errors in deployments that depends on it.

diesel_den Oct 5, 2012 5:44 AM

I have three modules: core.jar, backaend.jar and front.war. backaned.jar and front.war uses core.jar as dependency in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF: deployment.core.jar (JBoss AS 7 feature - deployments availability via "deployment." prefix).

All works well when I deploy firstly core and then backend and front.

But when I redeploy core, JBoss automatically tries to reinitialize backend and front, that produces next errors:

10:48:26,007 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-5) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "e-front_core-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

If to be short, here are "IllegalArgumentException: JBAS011084: moduleDescription is null" for front.war and "NullPointerException at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.InterceptorAnnotationProcessor.deploy(InterceptorAnnotationProcessor.java:43)" for backend.jar.

As for NullPointerException I don't have any ideas, but "moduleDescription is null" looks like I have not specified some description for front.war deployment. Probably now in AS 7 for deployed wars we need to provide some module description?

How did you do the re-deploy?

You can describe your steps

I have tried both copying to jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\standalone\deployments and jboss-as-maven-plugin 7.2.Final and behaviour is absolutely the same.

I think it's better that you deploy your web-app in a way!! e.g. deploy by web ora deply filesystem.

You can try to undeploy ad first step.

You can start froma a clean scenary.

Ok, I have tried from scratch and noticed that I can't upload core.jar second time without removing it.
After removing core.jar via JBoss we console, I received notification:
JBAS014775: New missing/unsatisfied dependencies:
service jboss.module.spec.service."deployment.e-front_core-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar".main (missing) dependents:
[service jboss.module.service."deployment.e-front-backend.jar".main, service jboss.module.service."deployment.e-front.war".main]
So of course I deployed core.jar again and received the same error.
So there are no any difference in deployment method.

Are you sure that your start JBoss is performed with the same file ?

Were you ever able to find a workaround for this? I just ran into this same issue myself with both v7.1.2 & v7.1.3 and opened a ticket for this: AS-6044.

Thanks,
Corey

Be sure that the ee subsystem is present in your profile.
