I am evaluating to migrate my web application from Jboss7.1 to JBoss EAP 6.4 which has a official support of Java 8. As part of this, I have installed JBoss EAP 6.4 and jdk1.8.0_45.
My web application is Spring MVC based and hence I have configured all the required spring modules under the JBoss modules folder(<>\modules\system\layers\base\org\springframework\main).
With all these configurations done, when I try to deploy my web application, its failing with the below error,

Did you have a spring module before when using jboss 7.1? If not, make sure you: dont package it with your war now, and you added a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file with dependency to your spring module – Nadir
Yes I had spring module in my jboss 7.1 also. So I have added those spring modules in Jboss Eap 6.4 and also the dependencies are added in jboss-deployment-structure.xml file. Providing the xml file below for your reference, – sri
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0"> <deployment> <dependencies> <module name="org.slf4j" /> <module name="org.springframework"> <exports> <include path="META-INF**" /> <include path="org**" /> </exports> <imports> <include path="META-INF**" /> <include path="org**" /> </imports> </module> <module name="org.jboss.msc" /> <module name="org.jboss.as.clustering.singleton" /> <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-mapper-asl"/> </dependencies> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure> – sri

For me I've got similar problems. The problem was that the class was available in more than one jar and jboss take it from the wrong JAR. I could solve it by these steps:

  1. Look for the class (I've done it with Eclipse CTRL+SHIFT+T)

  2. Than pick the one JAR which is older

  3. With mvn dependency:tree search from wich dependency the JAR is added to the classpath

  4. Step to the dependency from from which it is included and add an exclusion:

    <dependency> <!-- the dependency which loads the JAR with the older version of class --> <groupId>some.group</groupId> <artifactId>some.artifact</artifactId> <version>1.2.3</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>some.other.group</groupId> <artifactId>some.other.artifact</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
