[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1016?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Jan Stourac commented on WFLY-1016: ----------------------------------- Not sure which version has this been reported against (based on the stacktrace, there is JDK-1.6 used, 'jboss-as-server' mentions; was it even WildFly? maybe this referred to JBoss AS?). Anyway, I think this is not relevant for WildFly anymore (or it never was) - I tried following with {{WildFly 15.0.1.Final}} using [wicket-ear app|https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/15.0.1.Final/wicket-ear]: # get the app # modify web.xml by adding some nonsense element in it ('<pokus/>' in my case) # compile app and deploy it to server # see following error messages in server.log: {code} 12:32:36,611 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.subunit."wildfly-wicket-ear-ear.ear"."wildfly-wicket-ear-war.war".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.subunit."wildfly-wicket-ear-ear.ear"."wildfly-wicket-ear-war.war".PARSE: WFLYSRV0153: Failed to process phase PARSE of subdeployment "wildfly-wicket-ear-war.war" of deployment "wildfly-wicket-ear-ear.ear" at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:151) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1738) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.execute(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1700) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$ControllerTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1558) at org.jboss.threads.ContextClassLoaderSavingRunnable.run(ContextClassLoaderSavingRunnable.java:35) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor.safeRun(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1985) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor$ThreadBody.doRunTask(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1487) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor$ThreadBody.run(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1378) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: WFLYUT0027: Failed to parse XML descriptor "/content/wildfly-wicket-ear-ear.ear/wildfly-wicket-ear-war.war/WEB-INF/web.xml" at [49,5] at org.wildfly.extension.undertow.deployment.WebParsingDeploymentProcessor.deploy(WebParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:134) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:144) ... 8 more Caused by: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[49,5] Message: Unexpected element '{http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee}pokus' encountered at org.jboss.metadata.parser.util.MetaDataElementParser.unexpectedElement(MetaDataElementParser.java:115) at org.jboss.metadata.parser.servlet.WebMetaDataParser.parse(WebMetaDataParser.java:196) at org.jboss.metadata.parser.servlet.WebMetaDataParser.parse(WebMetaDataParser.java:51) at org.wildfly.extension.undertow.deployment.WebParsingDeploymentProcessor.deploy(WebParsingDeploymentProcessor.java:96) ... 9 more 12:32:36,622 INFO [org.jboss.as.jpa] (MSC service thread 1-5) WFLYJPA0002: Read persistence.xml for primary 12:32:36,624 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (management-handler-thread -
