JBoss 6.4 EAP - Apache HttpComponents being exported in resteasy-jaxrs module

[msosa]

So I came across a class loader error when using JBoss 6.4.  We need to use apache httpcore 4.4.1, but apache httpcore 4.3.3 is included in 6.4.  This previously wasn't a problem when we were using jboss 6.2 because the resteasy-jaxrs module.xml did not export httpcore library. 

I found an issue that seemed to also be caused by this jar being exported in the module:

[WFLY-2634] Classloading Problem with Apache httpclient - JBoss Issue Tracker

To test it out I removed the export true from the module and JBoss picked the right jar that I was including.  If I don't remove this line I get this error

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.http.util.Asserts.check(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V

Which is odd because looking a 4.3.3 there is a method with that signature.  Is there any reason this jar is now being exported?  I also tried exclusion but when I do this I will also have to exclude resteasy.

Hi Michael,

Facing same issue here.

Even making entry in jboss-deployment-structure.xml, I am getting still exception

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.http.util.Asserts.check(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V

Can someone please share the exact entry for jboss-deployment-structure.xml by which i can avoid above exception.

Thanks in advance.

I fixed this using slot. I created a new directory on httpcomponents module named "4.4" and added new jars and module.xml. I update the standalone.xml:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:ee:1.2">

        <global-modules>
             <module name="org.apache.httpcomponents" slot="4.4"/>
        </global-modules>

        <spec-descriptor-property-replacement>false</spec-descriptor-property-replacement>

        <jboss-descriptor-property-replacement>true</jboss-descriptor-property-replacement>

        <annotation-property-replacement>false</annotation-property-replacement>

</subsystem>

Only subscribers have access to the patch stream.  Do you work for a company with a subscription? If so, someone should have access, someone who can log a support case should be able to get it for you.
