Using CXF2.7.0 build with WAR in WildFly 10

[prabahard]

I have WAR module that uses CXF 2.7.0 library to generate client code (I can't upgrade to use WildFly 10 provided 3.1.4) right now for timing issues. So in order to pick the CXF from WEB-IN\lib folder, I have added following:

jboss-deployment-structure.xml

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

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">

    <!-- Make sub deployments isolated by default, so they cannot see each others classes without a Class-Path entry -->

      <!-- This corresponds to the top level deployment. For a war this is the war's module, for an ear -->

      <!-- This is the top level ear module, which contains all the classes in the EAR's lib folder     -->

    <deployment>

        <!-- exclude-subsystem prevents a subsystems deployment unit processors running on a deployment -->

         <!-- which gives basically the same effect as removing the subsystem, but it only affects single deployment -->

Below is the stake trace i am getting during the deployment. Could someone can point me if I need to add anything to module exclusion list? Thanks

Hi, have you been able to get any support or resolution to the issue above? I am currently facing the same problem and unsure on how to resolve it.

Thanks in advance.

[amodolo]

I've the same issue with CXF 3.1.1. Did you've found any solution?

Thanks

Alessandro

[ctomc]

problem is simple you need

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">

    <deployment>

        <exclude-subsystems>

            <subsystem name="jaxrs" />

            <subsystem name="webservices" />

        </exclude-subsystems>

    </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

and noting else in your jboss-deployment-structure.xml

[amodolo]

Thanks for response,

Modifying the jboss-deployment-structure.xml as you suggested doesn't resolve the problem.

I've check my custom library set and i can't figure out why the AS gives me that error...i've already included the cxf-rt-ws-security-3.1.1.jar (which contains the org.apache.cxf.ws.security.sts.provider.SecurityTokenServiceProvider) in my WEB-INF lib folder.

[white_crow]

I could fix this problem, by doing 3 things:

1. As you already did: exclude the subsystems webservices and jaxrs.

2. Adding the cxf-rt-ws-security lib to my project (e.g. maven dependency with scope compile)

3. Adding two module dependencies in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml: java.xml.ws.api (which actually contains the Provider interface) and javax.jws.api

So my file looked like this:

<jboss-deployment-structure>

      <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>

       <deployment>

          <exclude-subsystems>

               <subsystem name="webservices" />

               <subsystem name="jaxrs" />

          </exclude-subsystems>

          <dependencies>

               <module name="javax.xml.ws.api" export="true" />

               <module name="javax.jws.api" export="true" />

          </dependencies>

     </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

Hope this helps!

Hi Reto Hodel,

Environment :JBoss EAP 7.0.0

It worked for me , my application got deployed after following your resolving steps.

Thanks,

Srikanth Gujarathi.

[txhdeve]

Thanks a lot.

I did migration from EAP6 TO EAP 7 facing the same issue and followed your guide, it solved my problem, in EAP6 , it does not need jboss-deployment-structure.xml, but for EAP7, have to put this file, otherwise gave me the error  NoClassFound .....

Hope this can help other people.

In Wildfly 10.1 ,

    Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed to link org/apache/cxf/transport/servlet/CXFServlet (Module \"deployment.ws.ear" from Service Module Loader): org/springframework/context/ApplicationListener"}

after changing to below , still error

any ideas ?

Actually, there is no need to provide cxf and spring entries in jboss-deployment-structure.xml,  By default if the ear pom.xml dependecies are loaded in the classpath.

So define it in ear/pom.xml and it built in lib directory of ear. By Wildfly Classloading mechanism, those jars are in classpath and can be accessed by war or ejb inside the ear.
