[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2971?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Brad Maxwell commented on AS7-2971: ----------------------------------- I was going to add this to TldParsingDeploymentProcessor, as I was testing JBoss AS 7.1 Beta, but as I was creating the branch, I found you had already removed the catches and now just catch Exception, so I think this will do the same as I was going to do :-) } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { throw new DeploymentUnitProcessingException("Failed to parse " + tld, e); } The exception should now list the file such as this below. I close this ticket as done: 21:07:23,567 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-3) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."template.war".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."template.war".PARSE: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment "template.war" at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:121) [jboss-as-server-7.1.0.Beta1b.jar:] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1824) [jboss-msc-1.0.1.GA.jar:] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1759) [jboss-msc-1.0.1.GA.jar:] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) [:1.6.0_27] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) [:1.6.0_27] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) [:1.6.0_27] Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: Failed to parse "/content/template.war/WEB-INF/lib/spring-modules-validation-0.9.jar/META-INF/valang.tld" at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.parseTLD(TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:130) at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.processTlds(TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:105) at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.deploy(TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:81) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:115) [jboss-as-server-7.1.0.Beta1b.jar:] ... 5 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class org.jboss.metadata.web.spec.BodyContentType.None at java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:196) [:1.6.0_27] at org.jboss.metadata.web.spec.BodyContentType.valueOf(BodyContentType.java:30) at org.jboss.metadata.parser.jsp.TagMetaDataParser.parse(TagMetaDataParser.java:117) at org.jboss.metadata.parser.jsp.TldMetaDataParser.parse(TldMetaDataParser.java:226) at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.parseTLD(TldParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:124) ... 8 more -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
