When I am deploying first two ears It is getting deployed successfully without any issues, But when I try to deploy c.ear its giving me same class cast exception due to multiple references of same APIs. I want jboss should only pick the jar's which I have given in ear lib folder and not from the deployments. How can I do that? How can I exclude this deployments(a.ear and b.ear) from jboss-deployment-structure?

Can you please help me to solve this?

Answer 1

I have resolved this issues with some alternate solution. I haven't found solution to exclude deployments classes.

Hello , You can use the JBoss Deployment Structure XML file to exclude Classes/Packages, you can use exclude path:

<exclude path="***" /> to exclude classes / packages. As well as <exclude-set>

Example:

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
  <deployment>     
    <exclusions>
        <module name="sun.jdk" />
    </exclusions>   
    <dependencies>
        <module name="sun.jdk">
         <imports>
            <include-set>
                <path name="example/"/>
            </include-set>
            <exclude-set>
                <path name="path/"/>
            </exclude-set>
         </imports>
        </module>
    </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
