Question

I am trying to migrate my project from jboss4 (which was build by ant) to Jboss5(exploded version)
The structure at the jboss5 will be as the wizard at eclipse “Enterprise application project”

1. I moved all servlets to the Web project.
2. fixed all build path.

When I run my project on jboss 5.0 I get the following exception:

13:16:28,453 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to PostClassLoader: name=vfsfile:/D:/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/WMA_EXPLODED.ear/ state=ClassLoader mode=Manual requiredState=PostClassLoader

This looks like the key part:

java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError: Invalid default: public abstract java.lang.Class org.jboss.annotation.ejb.RemoteBinding.factory()

This is part of jboss-annotations-ejb3.jar, I think. Does your application bundle this JAR in its lib directory? If so, try removing it, it may be clashing with JBoss5’s own version.
