Problems once migrate jsf 1.2 to jsf 2.2.12

Question

I am migrating project from jsf 1.2 to jsf 2.2.12. After built successful, I deployed to the jboss 7 server and got error message like that:

Could you have any idea for this one?

Here are my system detail: Server: jboss7 Current libs: jsf 1.2, richfaces 3.3.3 Migration libs: jsf 2.2.17 Build: maven

Best regards,

Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation in interface itable initialization: when resolving method "javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentClassicTagBase.getParent()Ljavax/servlet/jsp/tagext/Tag;" the class loader (instance of org/jboss/modules/ModuleClassLoader) of the current class, org/richfaces/taglib/ColumnsTag, and the class loader (instance of org/jboss/modules/ModuleClassLoader) for interface javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/Tag have different Class objects for the type ervlet/jsp/tagext/Tag; used in the signature

java.lang.LinkageError is sign of classpath pollution with multiple different versioned libraries. You'd best let Maven produce a WAR file and then inspect its /WEB-INF/lib for any libraries which doesn't belong there (ie libraries which are supposed to be already provided by the target server, such as Java EE, JSP, Servlet, JSF, etc.. in your case with JBoss AS). Then fix the Maven pom.xml accordingly to mark exactly those as provided .

The particular one you got suggests a duplicated javax.servlet.jsp.* API. You'll in /WEB-INF/lib most likely have a jsp-api.jar or another JAR which covers this (eg javaee.jar ). In that case, you need to mark exactly that dependency in pom.xml as provided . Or, if it's actually jsp-api , then just remove it altogether and use a single javaee-api or javaee-web-api dependency with version 6.0 and scope provided which covers the entire Java EE 6 (Web profile) already, exactly as done by JBoss AS 7.
