org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalStateException: WELD-000227 after every change in code

Question

I'm developing a webapp with NetBeans and Glassfish 4.1.1. and I'm using JSF and CDI to manage the backing beans for the facelets. Since shortly after changing anything in the code I always get an Internal Server Error with this IllegalStateException after 'successful' deploying and running the app via the browser:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalStateException: WELD-000227: Bean 

identifier index inconsistency detected - the distributed container 

probably does not work with identical applications

I can get rid of it by doing a clean & build and redeploying. But NetBeans is redeploying automatically after every save anyway. So I then still have to click on clean and build and then on redeploy myself ALWAYS after any little change, it makes me crazy!

So is there any setting I can change on glassfish server to avoid this, or can I tell NetBeans to clean & build before autodeploy?

It was not always like this, recently I updated glassfish it may be that it appeared only after that, I don't remember exactly anymore.

Thanks in advance! It costs me so much time..

SOLVED

I googled again for hours and found the solution: I set a new system property in glassfish

org.jboss.weld.serialization.beanIdentifierIndexOptimization = false

to avoid the appearing inconsistencies as explained in the WELD reference here:

https://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/latest/en-US/html/configure.html#_bean_identifier_index_optimization

Answer 1

Disable beanIdentifierIndexOptimization in GlassFish as follows:

1. Visit the admin console at http://localhost:4848 (or https://127.0.0.1:4848/).
2. Click Configurations.
3. Click server-config.
4. Click System Properties.
5. Click Add Property.
6. Set Instance Variable Name to: org.jboss.weld.serialization.beanIdentifierIndexOptimization
7. Set Default Value to: false
8. Click Save.

This should help with passivation and resolve the following WELD bug:

WELD-000227: Bean identifier index inconsistency detected.
