Deploy Activiti-Rest-war on jBoss AS 5.1

[gnsuarez]

Hi Guys,

I have a clean installed jBoss AS 5.1 and I want to deploy the two activiti wars on it.

I downloaded Activiti-5.7 from the home page and went to the setup folder and executed the command "ant internal.build.webapps". Afterwards I took the web apps from the setup/build folder and moved it to the "jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy" folder. JBoss recognized the new archive, but while deploying the activiti-rest.war this error occurred:

I think that I missed something, but what?? Does anyone of you guys has an idea how I can solve this problem and finally deploy activiti on jBoss???

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I got it almost to work. The problem was a class loading issue between jBoss and activiti. What I did to make it work:

• Downloaded a the newest activiti-rest release (in my case 5.7) and extracted it somewhere


• Went to the activiti-5.7/setup directory and execute the ant target "demo.isntall"


• Copied the webapps "activiti-rest" and "activiti-explorer" from the activiti-5.7/apps/tomcat/webapps to jboss directory jboss/server/default/deploy (before that I added .war suffix activiti webapps folders - I don't know if it is necessary)


• Now I had to delete the jars xerces and xml-api from the activiti-rest/WEB-INF/lib folder (Here was the class loading conflict)


• Started the jBoss and now any error appeared while jBoss deployed the web apps

But what happens now is that when I try to access the webapp "http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer" the following error appears:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Request is not an HttpServletRequest: org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade@5b65381c

I couldn't find any forum thread regarding this problem. Does someone has a clue how I can solve this issue?

Hi,

Is this the full stacktrace? BTW you are running a pretty old version of JBoss.
There could be a Servlet API version problem.

Best regards,

[aapthorp]

Gerardo,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

Hi,

I solved this problem by removing the servlet-api-2.5.jar from the rest-api.

I think the servlet api should be provided by the servlet container (jboss, tomcat, …) an not be delivered within an war file.
