do not export api if excluded within jboss-deployment-structure.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-209 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-209 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Server Environment: JBoss EAP 6.3 + Spring 3.2.11.RELEASE Reporter: Mathieu Lachance I'm currently trying to upgrade JPA 2.0 to JPA 2.1 in JBoss EAP 6.3 by leveraging the jboss-deployment-structure.xml: {code:xml} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jboss-deployment-structure> <deployment> <exclude-subsystems> <subsystem name="jpa" /> <subsystem name="webservices" /> <subsystem name="weld" /> </exclude-subsystems> <exclusions> <module name="javax.persistence.api" /> <module name="org.hibernate" /> </exclusions> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure> {code} When trying to deploy my war (containing all hibernate 4.3.6 jars) I get the following error: {quote} Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index; at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.EntityBinder.processComplementaryTableDefinitions(EntityBinder.java:936) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindClass(AnnotationBinder.java:824) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration$MetadataSourceQueue.processAnnotatedClassesQueue(Configuration.java:3788) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration$MetadataSourceQueue.processMetadata(Configuration.java:3742) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.secondPassCompile(Configuration.java:1410) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1844) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.jpa.boot.internal.EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl$4.perform(EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.java:850) [hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.jpa.boot.internal.EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl$4.perform(EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.java:843) [hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.boot.registry.classloading.internal.ClassLoaderServiceImpl.withTccl(ClassLoaderServiceImpl.java:398) [hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.jpa.boot.internal.EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.build(EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.java:842) [hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(HibernatePersistenceProvider.java:152) [hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.6.Final.jar:4.3.6.Final] at org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.createNativeEntityManagerFactory(LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.java:290) [spring-orm-3.2.11.RELEASE.jar:3.2.11.RELEASE] at org.springframework.orm.jpa.AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean.java:310) [spring-orm-3.2.11.RELEASE.jar:3.2.11.RELEASE] at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1573) [spring-beans-3.2.11.RELEASE.jar:3.2.11.RELEASE] at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1511) [spring-beans-3.2.11.RELEASE.jar:3.2.11.RELEASE] ... 23 more {quote} {{Index}} was introduced with JPA 2.1 and even though: 1. my application bundle the correct JPA jar 2. my application excluded the javax.persistence.api 3. my application excluded the jpa subsystem I get a conflict. The only way I made it possible to upgrade the JPA version was to explicitely state to not export the javax.persistence.api (see workaround). This way of doing thing though is not portable (as it impacts all other war deployed in the JBoss server) and is critical in our situation. The issue might/is probably not be related to jboss-modules component but I was not able to find within the jboss sources the explicit line of code responsible of reading the jboss-deployment-structure.xml. If you can point me out the correct component it will be a pleasure to help resolve the issue.
