*.tld File Parsing durring deployment?

[dimarzio]

Hi there,

I'am trying to deploy an EAR-File with multiple *.war's inside. When I try to do it I get only PARSE Exceptions like this:

org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: JBAS017302: Failed to parse XML descriptor

...WEB-INF/lib/spring-modules-0.9-all.jar/META-INF/valang.tld\" at [13,23]

What I don't understand is, why all jars will be scanned? You see this is a spring library, so it's not a good idea to patch spring libs Is it possible to deactivate *.tld scanning at deployment time? Does it really make sense to do it?

App server needs to scan all TLDs that are part of deployment as this is per spec (as it enables few discovery features)

You got hit with http://java.net/jira/browse/SPRINGMODULES-13

I would suggest either fixing tld manually or find something alternative to spring modules

see also https://developer.jboss.org/thread/203253?tstart=0

Alternative would be http://beanvalidation.org/ as it is a standard and is also part of EE6&7

Thank you for the response!

I didn't know what springmodules is.

It is just a fork of old spring framework version for people who prefer old things... In my project it was used just for ONE annotation... Unbelievable. I will throw it away. But I'm still not sure it will help. We have a very big amount of *.tld in the different frameworks.
