So do I need anything beyond this: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0"> | <bean name="JBossIODeployer" class="org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryDeployer"> | <constructor> | <parameter>org.jboss.cx.io.metadata.DeploymentMetaData</parameter> | </constructor> | </bean> | | <bean name="JBossIOParser" class="org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.SchemaResolverDeployer"> | <constructor> | <parameter>org.jboss.cx.io.metadata.DeploymentMetaData</parameter> | </constructor> | <property name="name">jboss-iobeans.xml</property> | <property name="registerWithJBossXB">true</property> | </bean> | </deployment> | to make this work? I'm getting a ClassCastException on deployment: | [org.jboss.deployers.plugins.deployers.DeployersImpl] (HDScanner) Deploying vfsfile:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/jboss-iobeans.xml | [org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.SchemaResolverDeployer] (HDScanner) Parsing file: FileHandler(a)277720476[path=jboss-iobeans.xml context=file:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server | /default/deploy/ real=file:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/jboss-iobeans.xml] for deploymentType: class org.jboss.cx.io.metadata.DeploymentMetaData | [...] | [org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.SchemaResolverDeployer] (HDScanner) Parsed file: FileHandler(a)277720476[path=jboss-iobeans.xml context=file:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/ real=file:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/jboss-iobeans.xml] to: org.jboss.cx.io.metadata.DeploymentMetaData@73fcd8fb | [org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.SchemaResolverDeployer] (HDScanner) Error during deploy: vfsfile:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/jboss-iobeans.xml | org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error creating managed object for vfsfile:/home/david/src/java/jboss-5.0.0.CR1-r73551/server/default/deploy/jboss-iobeans.xml | [...] | Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException | at java.lang.Class.cast(Class.java:2990) | at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.SchemaResolverDeployer.parse(SchemaResolverDeployer.java:230) | Sorry in advance if these brilliant forums mangle the logs. I'm not really sure what type it is expecting but it looks to me like it's parsing the XML but not passing the resultant custom metadata to the BeanMetaDataFactoryDeployer. (My DeploymentMetaData class does implement BeanMetaDataFactory). What did I forget? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4153123#...
