wildfly 10: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.dom4j.DocumentFactory cannot be cast to org.dom4j.DocumentFactory

Question

I have a maven application that works fine in wildfly 8.2, but when Ideployed it in wildfly 10 this error happened:

[2016-02-21 11:22:08,411] Artifact Sarama         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I followed this instruction and it worked. http://blog.triona.de/development/java/org-dom4j-documentfactory-classcastexception-on-hudson.html

According to this post https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5549 we need to create a file named boss-deployment-structure.xml with the content

Then place it into ../wildfly/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/product/wildfly-full/dir/META-INF

I hope this would help.
