Error deploying WAR file to Jboss EAP 6.0, which works under JBOSS AS 7.1

Question

We are working on our new system which is built using Jboss, Spring and Hibernate and at the moment we're in the progress of migrating from AS 7.1 to EAP 6.0.

For reasons unknown to us the deployment fails when deploying to the EAP 6.0 server, but works perfectly fine under AS 7.1(both on our local machines and our local test-server).

In short, we get the following error:

"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.web.deployment.default-host./Web" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./Web: JBAS018040: Failed to start context"},
"JBAS014771: Services with missing/unavailable dependencies" => ["jboss.deployment.unit.\"Web.war\".jboss.security.jacc Missing[JBAS014861: ]"]

Furthermore, we have the console log, see below for further information. We've found https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5222, and as far as we understand there is a fix included which gives more detailed error information, alas we can't update/upgrade at the moment.

So my humble question is, does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue?

Updated: Here's some more log. Note that this is running OpenJDK 1.7, instead of the regular version. We've tried both of them but the issue remains.

Answer 1

Ensure that you are not using Spring Framework versions between 2.5 and 3.0.1. These are known to be incompatible with all versions of JBoss from 5.0 or so and newer;

Use below command and let me know the the status.

standalone.sh -Dorg.jboss.as.logging.per-deployment=false
