    ... 5 more

I have extracted the xalan.jar file in a separate folder and seen its MANIFEST.MF file which has below contents:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Created-By: 1.3.1 (IBM Corporation)

Main-Class: org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process

Class-Path: xercesImpl.jar xml-apis.jar serializer.jar

Its classpath is referring to three other jar file which are also present in the same lib folder and for them i am getting below warning:

09:42:51,776 WARN  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-8) Class Path entry xml-apis.jar in "/D:/Official/JBoss/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/bin/content/serializer.jar"  does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference.

And one more thing is for all other addtional jar files inside the lib directory, i am getting below similar error

09:42:55,934 ERROR [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-8) JBAS015892: Deployment unit processor org.jboss.as.jpa.processor.PersistenceProviderProcessor@ed92dbb unexpectedly threw an exception during undeploy phase INSTALL of deployment "jcr-2.0.jar": java.lang.NullPointerException

Upgrade to any newer version. 7.1.2, 7.1.3 ( you need to build it yourself) or take 7.2.0 (binary build as EAP 6.1.Alpha)

Hi Tomaz,

Thanks for the response. I am a newbie to JBOSS so could you elaborate why do i need to upgrade my AS?

Also, I tried using the "JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - Version 6.1.0.GA" based upon this link http://www.openlogic.com/blog/bid/283299/Where-is-JBoss-7-2-0-Final.

Now i am not getting the (Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment "xalan.jar" and above mentioned NullPointerException) error but still for all the jars in my lib directory i am getting below warning.

09:09:16,393 WARN  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-8) JBAS015960: Class Path entry xercesImpl.jar in /D:/Official/JBoss/jboss-eap-6.1.0/bin/content/xalan.jar  does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference.

Could you provide me what is happening here and how to resolve this?

JBoss AS 7.1.1 was released more than 1.5 years ago. Numerous bugs have been fixed and there have been releases after that. So in general, we ask users to test this against latest versions to verify if the issue has been fixed in a later version.

That is fine Jaikiran but even after using the JBoss EAP 6.1.0 which I found latest JBoss version. For that only the above warning is coming.
