[infinispan-dev] REST server war deployment issues

[galder at redhat.com]

Deploying rest server in Tomcat 6.0.26 throws the exception below. 

It seems like that it can't find slf4j-api jar. Michael, did you try the war with any particular tomcat versions?

I managed to get around the issue by both removing the exclusion in the RESTEasy depends and adding slf4j-api and slf4j-simple dependencies.

As a side note, deploying the original war I tried in a recent AS trunk fails with:

12:39:58,448 ERROR [[/infinispan-server-rest]] Exception starting filter Resteasy: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory cannot be cast to org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory

	at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3887) [:]

AS ships with a different version of RESTEasy library which would explain this issue (latest AS ships 2.0-beta-2 whereas the war includes 1.2.1.GA). However, AFAIR in the past WEB-INF/classes/lib was deployed under a different classloader and hence this shouldn't be a problem.

I'll create a couple of JIRAs for these.
