problem deploying activiti to wildfly 8.1.0.Final

[rogerparkinson]

I pulled the source for 5.17.1-SNAPSHOT and ran the build, got a war file, deployed to wildfly 8.1.0.Final
It loaded up okay. When I went to http://localhost:8080/activiti-webapp-explorer2/ I see a mangled login screen (there's a stack trace in it) but more importantly there is a stacktrace in the log:
<code>

This does deploy fine on tomcat so whatever is going on is specific to wildfly (and wildfly is what my boss wants to see).
Is there some trick I missed. I see others have got it going.
Thanks

Hmm that's a very low level exception … is there anything else? I'm afraid i can't say much with only this.
It seems that it has the right servlet version (which was my first thought) …

[rogerparkinson]

I can supply a bigger stack trace, does that help?

Is this possibly a CDI thing? Wildfly seems to load CDI by default (not that I can see CDI in the stack trace at all)

[rogerparkinson]

…except there isn't any beans.xml in the application so it can't be CDI.

[rogerparkinson]

More info: I've been running it under Eclipse/WTP but deploying the war to a Wildfly instance runs without problems.
That makes it all much lower priority. I can debug with Tomcat, deploy with Wildfly. Just a puzzle though.

[trademak]

Indeed, strange behaviour. I can't see a specific cause by looking at the stacktrace.

Best regards,
