Deploying Apache Isis on WildFly

I'm trying to deploy an Apache Isis project on a WildFly server.

The project is just the simpleapp-archetype-1.10.0 and it starts and works well with mvn antrun:run -P self-host and mvn jetty:run-war.

For the jetty part, I added configuration to the org.eclipse.jetty plugin of the parent pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>9.3.2.v20150730</version>
    <configuration>
        <war>${project.basedir}/webapp/target/simpleapp.war</war>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Now I wanted to deploy this on a WildFly server, but I get the following error:

Cannot upload deployment: {"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit.\"simpleapp.war\".WeldStartService" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit.\"simpleapp.war\".WeldStartService: Failed to start service Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408: Unsatisfied dependencies for type IsisJdoSupport with qualifiers @Default at injection point [BackedAnnotatedField] @Inject org.apache.isis.objectstore.jdo.datanucleus.service.support.TimestampService.isisJdoSupport at org.apache.isis.objectstore.jdo.datanucleus.service.support.TimestampService.isisJdoSupport(TimestampService.java:0) "}}

How can I fix this error, and why does jetty bypass this error?

Solution

I got an answer via the Apache Isis Mailing List.

The error says that WildFly tries to do CDI work. Jetty is just a web server and doesn't support Java EE stuff like CDI. Try to disable CDI support for this application (I have no idea how exactly).

To fix this error:

Add the file jboss-all.xml to Simple App Webapp/Web Pages/WEB-INF with the following code:

<jboss xmlns="urn:jboss:1.0">
    <weld xmlns="urn:jboss:weld:1.0" require-bean-descriptor="true"/>
</jboss>
