Question

I am having a problem deploying a Spring MVC application using Spring Data JPA in Wildfly 8.2.1 and Glassfish 4.1 (It works in Wildfly 10, but i'm not allowed to use it).

Here is the StackTrace

I've tested this in both wildfly 8.2.1 and Glassfish 4.1 having the same problem, but it works fine in Wildfly 10, the problem is my office already uses Wildfly 8.2.1 and they dont want to change the version. If anyone has any idea of why this does not work i would really appreciate it, and if you need any more data i would gladly provide it. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Probably the container has already an older version of Jackson and that is making class loading problems.

A way to solve that can be specifying a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file. That way you can "inject" your dependencies with higher priority. See this classloading problems with Wildfly 8.0.0 for more details and example.

As in documentation in order of highest priority to lowest priority of class loading:

System Dependencies - These are dependencies that are added to the module automatically by the container, including the Java EE api's.

User Dependencies - These are dependencies that are added through jboss-deployment-structure.xml or through the Dependencies: manifest entry.

Local Resource - Class files packaged up inside the deployment itself, eg class files from WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib of a war.

Inter deployment dependencies - These are dependencies on other deployments in an ear deployment. This can include classes in an ear's lib directory, or classes defined in other ejb jars.

See https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/Class+Loading+in+WildFly?_sscc=t for more deatils.
