Jboss EAP 6.3 ear fails but war works.

[sandeepkumar08]

I have war file, reasteasy spring service.

When i deploy it on server all works fine, but when i package it in a ear file it fails with exception

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener from [Module "deployment.xxxxxx.ear:main" from Service Module Loader]

Now what i don't understand is why is it trying to load  org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener from "deployment.xxxxxx.ear:main"  instead of "deployment.xxxxxx.ear.yyyyyy.war:main"

Here is how my xxxx.ear looks

xxxx.ear

     --META-INF

          --application.xml

          --MANIFEST.MF

     --yyyyyy.war

to confirm the behavior i moved all the jars from yyyyy.war/lib folder to a lib folder in ear (created one)

yyyy.war/lib ---> xxxx.ear/lib

and it worked fine.

Why is service tying to load  ContextLoaderListener ear:main even though all the implementation is in war.

Can you check if by any chance are you placing any  "yyyy.war/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml" inside your WAR? 

In case of EAR that file is expected to be placed inside the xxxx.ear/META-INF else it is ignored.

I did try that, but same result. Is there a way to give dependencies from WAR to EAR in deployment structure?

This is how it looks when moved to EAR

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss-deployment-structure>

   <sub-deployment name="yyyyyyy.war">

        <dependencies>

            <module name="com.oracle.ojdbc6-EJ" services="export" />

        </dependencies>

  </sub-deployment>

  </jboss-deployment-structure>

But error is coming when it starts deploying the war inside the ear and looking for spring ContextLoaderListener.
