Errors deploying WebApp to Glassfish

** My current problem is listed below, but i've included detail on how I've arrived there **

I'm attempting to deploy a JSF Web Application into Glassfish 3. Here's a little background about my project in the event any of these details are more relevant than I expected them to be:

  • Deploying using NetBeans 7.3.1
  • Java Platform: JDK 1.7
  • Java EE Version: Java EE 6 Web
  • Using ICEFaces components v3.3.
  • Development platform is MS Windows.
  • Using Apache JENA and OWL API (all libraries are included).

I have the following ICEFaces libraries included in the project:

  1. icefaces.jar
  2. icepush.jar
  3. icefaces-ace.jar
  4. icefaces-compat.jar
  5. common-logging.jar
  6. krysalis-jCharts-1.0.0-alpha-1.jar
  7. jxl.jar

When I first attempted to deploy my application, I received the following exception:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider  
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found at
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
at org.openide.xml.XMLUtil.write(XMLUtil.java:428)

After reading several response here as well as around the web, I went ahead and added the file "xml-apis-1.4.01.jar" to the GLASSFISH_HOME\glassfish\modules\endorsed directory. During my next deployment attempt, I received the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Caused by: javax.xml.stream.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory not found

Which prompted me to do more research and eventually add "stax2-api-3.1.1.jar" to the GLASSFISH_HOME\glassfish\modules\endorsed directory. Unfortunately, this is where my research luck ran out. I am now receiving the following exception:

WARNING: Failed to install file:GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules/endorsed/stax2-api-3.1.1.jar

Now, I am not explicitly using any Woodstox components in this project, so I'm at a loss for why Glassfish requires this. At first, I thought I did something wrong, so I went ahead and uninstalled and re-installed the Glassfish instance and recreated the domain. Still this requirement remains when I try to deploy the project.

Any advice?

As always, thank you all very much for your help!

So after doing a bunch more research and toying around with the setup, I think I have solved the problem. First, here's a bit of background on my process.

Since I had never used Woodstox components in my project, I assumed that there was a dependency on the aforementioned jars in one of my included libraries. I figured I'd completely remove Glassfish and re-install to try the "clean slate" approach. Unfortunately, this did not work and I continued to have the same exception.

I ended up searching the entire drive for Felix jars and directories and deleted everything I could find. I then attempted to re-start Glassfish which (expectedly) ended in an error stating Felix could not be found. I then did a clean un-install and re-install, and everything worked. My only thought is that something was cached and it was not being overwritten.

This corrected the last exception I reported, but unfortunately, I still experienced the former. My only thought at this time (based on quite a bit of searching) is that the OWL Library's XML parser doesn't play nicely with Glassfish.
