Deployment issues when upgrading from JBoss 4.2.3 to Wildfly 30

I recently am assigned to upgrade an application originally deployed on JBoss 4.2.3 (!) to the newest equivalent. Naturally it means Wildfly 30.

Thanks to the app being a Maven project I hadn't had too much difficulties updating the libraries and Spring definitions.

It's now encountering this error: (in reality "(my WAR name)" is obviously some rational name)

ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-1) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."(my WAR name).war".STRUCTURE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."(my WAR name).war".STRUCTURE: WFLYSRV0153: Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment "(my WAR name).war"

I consider myself lucky to see someone asking something similar (question 77646795), but not-so-luckily my issue isn't resolved after following the given answer (i.e. adding "jboss-deployment-structure.xml" and importing "org.jboss.vfs" library).

I tried to add "jboss-deployment-structure.xml" under the web application's "src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/" folder, and added import of "org.jboss.vfs" in both that XML and the "pom.xml" files. However, it only showed a shorter error:

{"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit.\"(my WAR name).war\".STRUCTURE" => "WFLYSRV0153: Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment \"(my WAR name).war\"
    Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: WFLYSRV0156: Failed to index deployment root for annotations
    Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException"}}

Any ideas? Specifically,

  1. what config files / elements / properties am I missing?
  2. what additional information do I need to provide here?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • eventually I got past this stage by downgrading ojdbc11 reference.

    It's hinted from the recent WildFly 30 question (WildFly30, SpringBoot 3: Cannot invoke "org.jboss.jandex.FieldInternal.type()" because "field" is null")

    Apparently its newest version (23.3.0.23.09) has some jandex related issues (as indicated on keycloak GitHub).

    Now I meet some other Spring-related error but it seems they have been asked somewhere else so I think I can close this question. Thanks for all your help.
