WFLY 15 + @WebListener Transaction Issues?

[csetera]

We in the process of updating our underlying Wildfly version from 11 to (preferably) 15.  I've updated to version 14 successfully with a few minor changes to our application to make newer versions of Weld happy with our code.  However, attempting to take the step to the latest version 15, we are failing in a way that I don't see a solution on our side?  When starting our app (or attempting to deploy a new version), we are seeing the following:

{"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.subunit.\"bv-application.ear\".\"bv-core-war.war\".undertow-deployment" => "java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: UT010013: Could not instantiate xxx.yyy.SessionTracker
    Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: UT010013: Could not instantiate xxx.yyy.SessionTracker
    Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: UT010013: Could not instantiate xxx.yyy.SessionTracker
    Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: WFLYEE0042: Failed to construct component instance
    Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.WeldException: WELD-001524: Unable to load proxy class for bean Extension [class com.arjuna.ats.jta.cdi.TransactionExtension] with qualifiers [@Default]; bv-core-war.war with class class com.arjuna.ats.jta.cdi.TransactionExtension using classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module \"deployment.bv-application.ear\" from Service Module Loader
    Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/arjuna/ats/jta/cdi/TransactionExtension
    Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/arjuna/ats/jta/cdi/TransactionExtension
    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.arjuna.ats.jta.cdi.TransactionExtension from [Module \"deployment.bv-application.ear\" from Service Module L

In this case, xxx.yyy.SessionTracker is marked as a @WebListener.  A different class of ours is currently commented out, but has the same issue and characteristics.  This seems like it may be some kind of ordering issue where the @WebListener's are being created before the transaction management subsystem is ready.  Are we wrong in trying to do things this way?  It has worked to this point across multiple versions.

Any insights most appreciated.

[ctomc]

how does your deployment look like?

what jars do you have in lib of ear and war?

[csetera]

Tomaz,

How much detail do you need?  We have quite a few dependencies.  My guess is you are thinking there may be a conflict with something we are packaging into our WAR/EAR?  If so, do you have a theory of what I might want to look for?  I'd be willing to send you the output of our Maven dependency tree privately, but I'd rather not broadcast that in this public forum.

Thanks,

Craig

In addition to what Tomaz asked for, can you also paste the complete exception stacktrace that you see? The one you have in the first post is a summary of the deployment failure. The exception stacktrace could give a few more hints.

I think this is a bug, the transaction extension is not being registered by weld because the class is not in the ear classpath.

As a workaround, you could try creating a jboss-deployment-structure.xml adding the missing module to your ear deployment.

<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.jboss.jts" />
    </dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

This file should be in your META-INF folder in your .ear file.

That appears to work around the issue.  I will do some more testing, but it appears like this allows me to side-step the underlying issue.

[ctomc]

Your dependency tree is waaaaaay too big.

you should set most of dependencies that are provided by server itself (like spec api jars and others) to scope=provided in your pom.xml

now you are bunding bunch of stuff that is already provided by server and some of it clashes

[csetera]

I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of our dependencies.  We definitely need to do some cleaning.  However, based on the earlier conversation, do you think that is somehow causing the transaction extension issues that yersan had me workaround with the JBoss structure file?

[yersan]

Just for the record, I filed a jira issue to address what I think is the problem arised in this thread: [WFLY-11506] EAR deployment fails with a CNFE when @Transactional is used in a CDI bean - JBoss Issue Tracker

Thanks!
