seam 3 on glassfish 5

[skorejo]

Application with seam version 3.1.0-Final , java 8 when deployed on glassfish 3.1.2.2 works perfectly fine, but on change server to glassfish 5 or payara 5 following error is generated:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalArgumentException: WELD-000818: Event type class org.jboss.solder.config.xml.bootstrap.ProcessAnnotatedTypeImpl is not allowed  

What could be the possible reason for this and how to resolve this issue?

Please note, previously I got similar issue on Wildfly and for that I removed weld from the server and this error vanished, do I have to do something similar here too?

Hi Sana,

in CDI 1.1+ an IllegalArgumentException must be thrown if the runtime type of an event object is assignable to the type of a container lifecycle event (see also [CDI-245] Promote the right way how extensions should communicate with each other during container initialization - JBos… ). In fact, you should not use Seam 3 anymore (esp. on CDI 1.1+ application servers) - it's not actively developed for a long time. If possible, migrate to CDI 1.1+ and other tools and libraries (such as DeltaSpike).

Hi Martin,

Thank you for suggesting that, I have checked my application and currently it is using @RestrictAtPhase annotation from seam security as well as @FacesRedirect, @ViewConfig, @ViewPattern, @LoginView, @AccessDeniedView from seam faces. Is there any guide on how I can change these to CDI (preferably 2.0) ?

Regards,

Sana

I have removed dependency of Seam 3 from application still I am getting same error.

In fact, the failure comes from Solder, a library used by most Seam 3 modules.

Yes the issue is coming due to seam3, on removing it from application it runs fine, so will i have to move to deltaspike or there is some workaround for legacy application.

Hi Martin,

How can I convert the code in seam 3 using org.jboss.seam.security.Identity to deltaspike?
