Deployment failed on Wildfly 9

Question

I once had this issue with wildfly 8 but was solved include eclipselink.jar in $WILDFLY_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/eclipse/persistence/main and updating the module.xml with the resource root

<resource-root path="eclipselink.jar" />

and including on my ejb module's POM.xml

    <dependency>  
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>  
        <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>  
        <version>2.6.0</version>  
        <scope>provided</scope>  
    </dependency>  

This works fine in Wildfly 8.*. Unfortunately employing the same technic for Wildfly 9CR1 has consistently failed the with log below:

I have also tried removing the

<resource-root path="eclipselink.jar" />
eclipselink.jar

But get a different error Persistence Provider Not Found. Could this be a Wildfly bug or there's something I am not doing right?

Answer 1

Had the same issue, and resolved using wf9 docs: wildlfy 9 eclipselink

basically, instead <resource-root path="eclipselink.jar" />

place this

<resource-root path="eclipselink.jar">
        <filter>
                <exclude path="javax/**" />
        </filter>
        </resource-root>

By the way, I'm using eclipslink 2.5.2
