Jboss-deployment-structure.xml don't read on EAR File

I created a file called jboss-deployment-structure.xml and I put the file in the META-INF directory of the EAR project. My ear has then the following structure:

MyEar.ear
-> META-INF
------> Application.xml
------> Jboss-deployment-structure.xml
-> MyWar.war

How do I make deploy within JBoss EAP 6.2 I read this issue:

javax.persistence.Table.indexes () [Ljavax / persistence / Index;

This problem is related to the JPA 2.0 version of JBOSS while I use Hibernate JPA 2.1.

If I enter the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml in WEB-INF directory of the WAR project and install only the WAR file, the web-based software works without problems.

What is wrong? Thank you, Vincenzo

This is content of Jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
    <exclude-subsystems>
        <subsystem name="jpa" />
    </exclude-subsystems>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="javaee.api" />
    </exclusions>
</deployment>

Solution

You also need to exclude your sub-deployments.

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
    <exclude-subsystems>
        <subsystem name="jpa" />
    </exclude-subsystems>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="javaee.api" />
    </exclusions>    
</deployment>
<sub-deployment name="your.war">
    <exclude-subsystems>
        <subsystem name="jpa" />
    </exclude-subsystems>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="javaee.api" />
    </exclusions>
</sub-deployment>

This would need to be done for each sub-deployment you want those exclusions on.
