[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-5566) JBoss Problem With Dom4j Library

JBoss Problem With Dom4j Library -------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5566 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5566 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Deployers, XML services Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta4 Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.5 Reporter: Chris Pesto Assignee: Ales Justin I found what I believe to be a bug in the JBoss 5.0 Beta 4 distribution, discovered in attempting to migrate our current web application from JBoss 4.2.1. On deployment, I get: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Adding text to an XML document must not be null at org.dom4j.DocumentFactory.createText(DocumentFactory.java:174) at org.dom4j.tree.AbstractElement.addText(AbstractElement.java:899) at org.jboss.wsf.framework.deployment.WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.createWebAppDescriptor(WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.java:164) ... (rest of stack trace clipped for brevity) JBoss seems to take offense at something in the dom4j library, which is included in the JBoss distribution. As I said, the web application works properly in 4.2.1. I suspect the XML library is relatively rarely used, so this has escaped detection. Thanks.
