Omnifaces EAR deployment issue on glassfish 3.1.2.2


I have a maven enterprise project (skinny) with omnifaces 1.4.1 glassfish 3.1.2.2 primefaces 3.5 primefaces extensions 0.6.3 myfaces extcdi 1.0.5

When i deploy the ear, the error is:

remote failure: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.enterprise.container.common.spi.util.InjectionException: Error creating managed object for class: class org.omnifaces.component.output.cache.CacheInitializerListener. Please see server.log for more details.

If i deploy the omniface jar into glassfish lib directory, the application deployes OK.

It also loads OK if I i make a war including all ejb's, jars and wars.

Does anyone have a clue where to start debugging this issue?

I can provide stacktrace if needed.

EAR structure:

PROJECT-EAR
  |
  -META-INF
  |
  -lib
      |
      - omnifaces-1.4.1.jar
      - myfaces-extcdi-bundle-jsf20-1.0.5.jar
      - primefaces-3.5.jar
      - PROJECT-lib.jar
  |
  - PROJECT-WEB1.war
  - PROJECT-EJB.jar
  - PROJECT-WEB2.war

Best regards, hw

Solution

  • The ear/lib directory is not the ideal place to share web artifacts. It depends a bit on what else you exactly have in your wars (e.g. do you have a beans.xml in your WEB-INF, any Servlets? what's exactly in your web.xml files, etc), but in a lot of cases things just don't work nicely this way.

    See for instance:

    I have to say that I wasn't able to reproduce your error after creating an ear with two wars and the exact same libraries and same versions in the ear/lib (primefaces and myfaces-extcdi), but with things like classloader conflicts things are never easy to reproduce.

    You might wanna try putting all web artifacts (OmniFaces, PrimeFaces, etc) in the WEB-INF/lib of both wars. Personally I think that's a better practice anyway as the EJB module is not supposed to see web types, and stuff you put in ear/lib is visible to classes in the EJB module.

    For the moment I think this is primarily an EAR/classloader issue and not something specifically to OmniFaces. If you have some evidence that suggest OmniFaces does do something wrong opening an issue at https://github.com/omnifaces/omnifaces/issues might be a more appropriate place to discuss that further.
