admin-console Seam initialization issues with "default" configuration --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-7371 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7371 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: JMX/Web Console, Management services Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA Environment: JDK6 Reporter: Darryl Miles Assignee: Darran Lofthouse something is wrong with the JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA distribution, using "default" configuration, and trying to access: http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console/ when I have my own application EAR that uses a newer version of Seam (2.1.2). I am using JBoss Tooling (JBIDE) to start the AS instance in debug mode on JDK6. It starts up fine enough, but the first access to the /admin-console/ yields the following stack trace. The web-app that is the admin-console seems to continue to remain deployed. So it is a lazy-Seam-initialization issue. The /admin-console/ web-app has not been modified in the distribution, but I do have an EAR project I am trying to develop which is using a different (newer) version of Seam than the one JBoss AS distributes within admin-console.war. But all the libraries my EAR uses are contained inside my EAR so this should make no difference (FWIW I am using Seam 2.1.2 in my app). It looks like admin-console.war uses Seam 2.1.0.SP1 this is inside the admin-console.war/WEB-INF/lib so should be isolated. If I remove my EAR from being deployed and restart the AS then /admin-console/ works. My EAR (that appears to break on JBoss AS) is really simple: ./jboss-seam-2.1.2.jar ./lib/ ./lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.0-BETA.jar ./lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar ./lib/commons-digester-1.8.jar ./lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar ./lib/drools-api-5.0.1.jar ./lib/drools-core-5.0.1.jar ./lib/jboss-el-1.0_02.CR2.jar ./lib/joda-time-1.6.jar ./lib/richfaces-api-3.3.1.GA.jar ./lib/spring-2.5.6.SEC01.jar ./lib/spring-aspects-2.5.6.SEC01.jar ./META-INF ./META-INF/MANIFEST.MF ./mvel2-2.0.10.jar Here are the last few lines of the server startup (maybe they are of some use ?) They show the deployment of the /admin-console web-app and the lack of any exception during deployment to indicate a failure at that time. 00:21:24,600 INFO [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/admin-console 00:21:24,713 INFO [config] Initializing Mojarra (1.2_12-b01-FCS) for context '/admin-console' 00:21:28,397 INFO [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/ 00:21:28,543 INFO [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console 00:21:28,748 INFO [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-localhost%2F127.0.0.1-8080 00:21:28,811 INFO [AjpProtocol] Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-localhost%2F127.0.0.1-8009 00:21:28,835 INFO [ServerImpl] JBoss (Microcontainer) [5.1.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_5_1_0_GA date=200905221634)] Started in 1m:12s:424ms Then upon first access of the webapp the URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console/ I get: .....START..... java.lang.RuntimeException: error while reading /WEB-INF/components.xml org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.initComponentsFromXmlDocument(Initialization.java:221) org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.create(Initialization.java:124) org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:34) org.jboss.on.embedded.LazyStartupListener.initialize(LazyStartupListener.java:182) org.jboss.on.embedded.LazyStartupListener.requestInitialized(LazyStartupListener.java:240) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:190) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:92) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.process(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:126) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.invoke(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:70) org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:158) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:330) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:829) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:598) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) root cause java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading element Identity with component name null and component class null org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.installComponentsFromXmlElements(Initialization.java:342) org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.initComponentsFromXmlDocument(Initialization.java:217) org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.create(Initialization.java:124) org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:34) org.jboss.on.embedded.LazyStartupListener.initialize(LazyStartupListener.java:182) org.jboss.on.embedded.LazyStartupListener.requestInitialized(LazyStartupListener.java:240) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:190) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:92) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.process(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:126) org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.invoke(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:70) org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:158) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:330) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:829) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:598) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) ....END....

This problem is simply the filter assuming a something has been correctly/fully initialized when it hasn't. So this points at: * The first exception has failed to initialize something relating to global Seam configuration, but the global initialization status was not rolled back (since the subsequent HTTP request should have resulted in a repeat of the same error) or * The second exception should be checking for null on something that is allowed to remain unconfigured Those matters would be for Seam team to investigate? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
