Message Title

I am deploying a Java EE 7 application on Wildfly 10, with the PicketLink subsystem configured and installed. My app is being deployed as an EAR file. The jboss-deployment-structure.xml has the EAR-level dependencies for PicketLink specified as the following:

<module name="org.picketlink.config" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.core.api" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.idm.api" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.core" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.idm" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.common" export="true" meta-inf="import"

				annotations="true" services="import" />

			<module name="org.picketlink.idm.schema" export="true"

				meta-inf="import" annotations="true" services="import" />

I have also included the same module dependencies for each sub-deployment listed in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file.

The following code is used to read my picketlink.xml file from the classpath once the application starts:

public void identityConfigurationEvent(@Observes IdentityConfigurationEvent event) {

		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

			logger.debug("identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - start"); //$NON-NLS-1$

		if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {

			logger.info(

					"identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - Creating PicketLink identity configuration..."); //$NON-NLS-1$

		ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

		InputStream inStream = cl.getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/picketlink.xml");

		if (inStream == null) {

			logger.error(

					"identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - No picketlink.xml file found on classpath.  Unable to create identity configuration.", //$NON-NLS-1$

					null);

		} else {

			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

				logger.debug(

						"identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - picketlink.xml file located on classpath"); //$NON-NLS-1$

			XMLConfigurationProvider configProvider = new XMLConfigurationProvider();

			IdentityConfigurationBuilder builder = configProvider.readIDMConfiguration(inStream);

			builder.named("Holocron_IDM").stores().jpa()

					.addContextInitializer(new PicketLinkContextInitializer(this.entityManager));

			IdentityConfiguration config = builder.build();

			if (config == null) {

				logger.error(

						"identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - Unable to create IdentityConfiguration from picketlink.xml file", //$NON-NLS-1$

						null);

			} else {

				if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {

					logger.info(

							"identityConfigurationEvent(IdentityConfigurationEvent) - PicketLink identity configuration created successfully"); //$NON-NLS-1$

However, when execution reaches the line where the XMLConfigurationProvider is created, the following exception is thrown:

This exception only occurs when deploying the app as an EAR file. If packaged as a WAR, I am able to configure via XML file with no problem.
