[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (WELD-897) java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal classname

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal classname --------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-897 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-897 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Bootstrap and Metamodel API Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Final Environment: All platforms - but noticed on Solaris x86 Reporter: Kyle Grucci Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.1.2.Final The CDI TCK passes all tests when run using Glassfish 3.x with Oracle's JDK 1.6.0_24. However, when we change to use Oracle's JDK 1.6.0_25 patch, deployment of some of the test war files to the autodeploy directory of Glassfish results in the errors below. Talking with Pete Muir, it appears that the JDK has tightened something and is now exposing a bug in Weld.
