We are trying to deploy an jhipster app on JBOSS EAP 6.4, I have fiew problem with JPA 2.1 and VALIDATION 2, The problem is the JBOSS is JAVA EE 6, but jhipster use a fiew JAVA EE 7 feature. we have added the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file for try to esclude some modules.

Now i solve the JPA 2.1 issue and the validation but stil to have a problem.

this is the jboss-deployment-structure.xml

You know that the recommended way to deploy a JHipster app is an executable jar or its docker image. I can't help you with your JBoss problem but I just wanted to warn you that you're taking a hard path. Hope someone will help you. — Gaël Marziou

Try to change hibernate validator from version 6 to version 5.

1) exclude hibernate validator from spring-boot-starter-web:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

2) add hibernate validator version 5:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
    <version>5.4.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

My apps with jhipster 5.6.1 work with this method. I read compatibility from spring-boot doc, regarding LocalValidatorFactoryBean. I'm using eap 6.4.8
