Glassfish 3.1.1 error on redeploy

Question

The redeployment does not work properly or is it just misconfiguration? I get the following error when I try to redeploy an application:

I have read that this reason for this problem is probably that to multiple xerces implementations are loaded into one classloader and the solution would be to put the xerces.jar into the domain/lib dir. Then users would not be able to use their own version isn't it like that? Well I don't think that putting the jar into the folder is a satifying and clean solution. Are there any other suggestions to solve this kind of problem? Or is this problem already solved in newer versions of glassfish?

Answer 1

The comment that xerces is already included is indeed the issue.

I wanted to provide a solution for those using maven as their build system. Often the problem is with transitive dependencies, so in my case openid was including xerces.

First use mvn dependency:tree to get a full tree of all dependencies of you project. Run this from the parent pom directory. Use that information to determine what dependency is causing the problem.

Now use that information to add the exclusion to your dependency. e.g.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.openid4java</groupId>
  <artifactId>openid4java</artifactId>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>xerces</groupId>
      <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

And now do the mvn dependency:tree again and make sure there are no more inclusions.
