PrimeFaces Showcase on JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final

[sarahjohns388]

Hello Folk's,

I'm trying to deploy the PrimeFaces 5.3 showcase WAR on JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final.

http://repository.primefaces.org/org/pr ... se-5.3.war


I can deploy it on JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final by making the 2 changes suggested here:

http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.p ... 78#p130047


1) Remove com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener from web.xml

2) Remove javax.faces-2.2.8.jar from WEB-INF/lib


When I deploy the same modified JAR on JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final I get 2 Class Cast Exceptions.


Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance

of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBoss Mojarra20ConfigureListener: java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.hibernate.validator.util.LazyValidatorFactory to javax.validation.ValidatorFactory


Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory


I was hoping that when it worked on JBoss 7.1 I could get it going on 6.1 as they are both JEE6. I must use JBoss AS 6.1 as I've a dependency on JBoss ESB.


Any advice appreciated...

When you say Jboss 6.1AS are you sure that's EE6? I know Jboss EAP 6.1 is definitely EE6 but I thought 6.1AS was under their old model and was still EE5.

Hi,

It looks like there are some compatibility issues when trying to deploy the PrimeFaces 5.3 showcase WAR on JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final. The Class Cast Exceptions you are seeing are likely related to differences in the version of libraries and components being used between JBoss AS 6.1 and 7.1.

One solution could be to try using an older version of PrimeFaces that is known to be compatible with JBoss AS 6.1.
Another solution could be to try using a more recent version of JBoss AS 6.1 that includes more recent versions of libraries and components.
It's also possible that the issue is with JBoss ESB, so make sure it's compatible with JBoss AS 6.1 before proceeding.

Also, you can check the JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final documentation or community forum for more information on how to resolve these Class Cast Exceptions.

I hope this will help you.
