Here is the entir

Answer 1

I had this issue until I removed the project in question from the server's deployments (in JBoss Dev Studio, right-click the server and "Remove" the project in the Servers view), then did the following:

1. Restarted the JBoss EAP 6.1 server without any projects deployed.
2. Once the server had started, I then added the project in question to the server.

After this, just restart the server (in debug or run mode) by selecting the server, NOT the project itself.

This seemed to flush any previous settings/states/memory/whatever that was causing the issue, and I no longer got the error.
