Answer 1

Solution:

1. Connect with debug to Glassfish server
2. Put break point into line
   • java.lang.Class.initAnnotationsIfNecessary(Class.java:3070)
3. Deploy your application.

While deploying you will stop several times at this break point. See this reference and remember the last before deployment error arise. Than check Annotations in last "this" class. You can also put break point into AnnotationParser.parseClassArray method, but it is compiled code and break point on the method is very slow. (In my case with method break point I could not depoy application at last).
