I'm trying to get the togglz-console up and running in our Java EE7 Application running on Weblogic 12.2.1.0. In order to use the console I added the dependency as stated on the togglz webpage, no addition to web.xml since I assume Weblogic will be able to run servlets.
However, when I try to deploy the application I get the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.oracle.weblogic:weblogic-maven-plugin:12.2.1-0-0:redeploy (wls-redeploy) on project foobar: weblogic.Deployer$DeployerException: weblogic.deploy.api.tools.deployer.DeployerException: Task 4 failed: [Deployer:149026]deploy application foobar on foobarcluster.

I also tried to include servlet-mapping and servlet in web.xml but this doesn't help either.
Some more investigation reveals, that our application's web.xml uses Servlet Version 3.1 while the web-fragment.xml inside the togglz-console.jar uses 3.0. Looks like a namespace conflict that others have come across to. Will try to remove our application's web.xml completely and try again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like Weblogic has some problem with the name element in the web-fragment.xml file. I think this was added in Togglz 2.4.0, so you could try to use 2.3.0 instead.
Also, if Weblogic allows to disable XML descriptor validation, this would be a way to work around this.
