nafees sharif [http://community.jboss.org/people/mnsharif] created the discussion "Same application deployed twice gives "2 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions" initialization error" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/609778#609778 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have two applications running under my JBoss 5.1 (using JDK6) with names +appA1.war+ and +appZ.war+. Both of these web-applications are clients of web services published by external parties. I am using myeclipse to generate client side stubs etc. I am using Metro1.1 jars in my applications, i.e. both of these applications have following jars (apart from others) in WEB-INF/lib folder: -- webservices-api.jar -- webservices-extra.jar -- webservices-extra-api.jar -- webservices-rt.jar Everything works file up till here. I can deploy and consume external web services in both of my applications. Then i deployed a copy of +appA1.war+ as +appA2.war+ with only a few changes (different release with new features etc.). The _deployment_ of all three web-applications does not introduce any problem. The consumtpion of external web service as client works perfectly on +appA1.war+ application. However, when i try to consuming the external web service at +appA2.war+, the following exception occurs: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError         at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)         at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:39)         at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27)         at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:513)         at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:355)         ...         ...+edited for brevity+         ...         at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProcessor.process(AjpProcessor.java:436)         at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProtocol$AjpConnectionHandler.process(AjpProtocol.java:384)         at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447)         at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Caused by: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Error creating JAXBContext for W3CEndpointReference.         at com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl$2.run(ProviderImpl.java:222)         at com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl$2.run(ProviderImpl.java:218)         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)         at com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl.getEPRJaxbContext(ProviderImpl.java:217)         at com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl.<clinit>(ProviderImpl.java:88)         ... 40 more *Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 2 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions* *Two classes have the same XML type name "address".
