    classNotFoundException in war inside ear

    franekgc

      I have Ear application with one war modele and one jar module inside. At the serwer startup i get exception:

       

       

      Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gameWeb.war.WEB-INF.classes.org.ManagerBeanTest

       

      I think that classloader searches for classes in wrong place.

       

      Server startup with only war modele goes well (without exceptions).

       

      Can u help me solve this problem?

          Please post the entire exception stacktrace. Also please post the contents of your .jar, .war and .ear using the following command:

           

          jar -tf gameweb.war

           

          jar -tf yourjar.jar

           

          jar -tf yourear.ear

            The funny thing is that when i remove my application.xml file from earFolder/META-INF everything works perfect. Only with application.xml file error arises.

             

            Here is my application.xml file content:

            ----------------------------------------

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

                <web>

                  <web-uri>gameWEB.war</web-uri>

                  <context-root>/gameWEB</context-root>

                </web>

              </module>

              <module>

                <ejb>gameEJB.jar</ejb>

              </module>

            </application>

            ----------------------------------------

             

            The whole enterprise application is deployed as an exploded application. Here is the structure of catalogs ( (d) means directory):

             

             

            =game.ear (d)

                 gameWeb.war (d)

                      META-INF (d)

                      WEB-INF (d)

                           classes (d)

                                org (d)

                                     ManagerBeanTest.class

                                     Test.class

                           lib (d)

                           faces-config.xml

                           web.xml

                 META-INF (d)

                      application.xml

                      jboss-app.xml

                 gameEJB.jar

             

             

            gameEJB.jar is empty by now.

             

            And here is full stack trace of the exception:

            • 3. classNotFoundException in war inside ear
              ebross

              Hi Franek Jop

               

               

              Means ManagerBeanTest.class could not  be found by classloaders

               

              Could we see the following:

               

              jboss-web.xml

              jboss-app.xml

               

              OR

               

              Try this  in your jboss-app.xml:

               

              <jboss-app>

              <loader-repository>game:archive=game-ear</loader-repository>

              </jboss-app>

               

              where game is the name of your EAR.

               

              Cheers!

                Means ManagerBeanTest.class could not  be found by classloaders

                 

                 

                Yes. I know that. But classloader try to find class "gameWeb.war.WEB-INF.classes.org.ManagerBeanTest" but the class name is "org.ManagerBeanTest". I thing that here is the problem.

                 

                Here is my jboss-app.xml

                I do not have jboss-web.xml

                • 5. classNotFoundException in war inside ear
                  jaikiran

                  This does look like a bug (and probably has a workaround - I saw a similar issue where we were able to get past this). Can you please attach the application which reproduces this issue?

                    alesj
                    But classloader try to find class "gameWeb.war.WEB-INF.classes.org.ManagerBeanTest" but the class name is "org.ManagerBeanTest". I thing that here is the problem.

                     

                    Here is my jboss-app.xml

                    ------------------------------------------

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

                      <!DOCTYPE jboss-app

                        "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_4_2.dtd">

                              <loader-repository>

                    </jboss-app>

                     

                    ------------------------------------------

                    Hmmm, for some reason ear' scanning thinks .war's classes are part of its classpath.

                     

                    Why do you think this jboss-app.xml is the problem?

                    Otoh, I think you don't need this file anymore, sice .ears are isolated by default -- see EARClassLoaderDeployer.

                    (unless you wanna explicitly specify the isolation domain name)

                     

                    Like Jaikiran said, it would be useful to have an example where we could reproduce this.

                      I have do idea where is the problem. I've just post jboss-app.xml here because of Benjamin request.

                      I have removed jboss-app.xml from project.

                       

                      Here is my project:

                       

                      http://www.speedyshare.com/files/27172585/application.zip

                       

                      As i said before: This application will deploy when I remove application.xml from EAR/META-INF folder.

                       

                      There are two folders in provided archive. First one: "game.ear" contains application ready to deploy. The second one contains sources.

                        Hi Franek Jop,

                         

                        Can't find any ManagerBeanTest in your application.zip.

                         

                        BTW your 4_2.dtd needs an upgrade as you are using AS6.0

                          Sorry about that. I've made some cleanup in project before upload. But the same error arises with RequestObserver class:

                          In xml file? Which one?

                            Can you first try renaming gameWeb.war to gameWEB.war? That app is failing to deploy on my *nix system because of that case sensitive issue. And after I fix that it deploys fine locally. I however haven't yet been able to reproduce the original issue that you have reported. Maybe it's a side effect of that case insensitive nature of Windows OS (on which you seem to be deploying).

                             

                            If that doesn't fix this issue, then the other problem I see in your deployment is the ClassPath entry in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of the .war file. It points back to the same .war. Remove that ClassPath entry and see if that works.

                              No, simple change the the version number e.g:

                               

                              <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">

                               

                              Or remove it from the jboss-web.xml -- you can do without.

                               

                               

                              Anyway back to the small matter of your ClassNotFoundException.

                               

                              Forget the jboss-web.xml; clear the table and just do the following:

                               

                              gameEAR.ear

                              jaikiran pai could be on a solution here.

                                Do you resovled this problem? I think I faced the same problem.
