Question

I’m trying to deploy a CAS web application on JBOSS 7. The package name is cas-server-webapp-3.4.11.war.

I’m facing the following error during install:

09:37:06,951 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/cas-server-webapp-3.4.11]] (MSC service thread 1-5)
Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid 'log4jConfigLocation' parameter: class path resource [log4j.xml] cannot be resolved to absolute file path because it does not reside in the file system: vfs:/D:/Programming/jboss7/bin/content/cas-server-webapp-3.4.11.war/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml

Deployment package is located in D:\Programming\jboss7\standalone\deployments\cas-server-webapp-3.4.11.war, but obviously JBOSS tries to resolve paths to D:/Programming/jboss7/bin/content/cas-server-webapp-3.4.11.war.

How I can change this path?

Solution is the following:

In persistence.xml put the following content:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">

<persistence-unit name="CasPersistence" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <class>org.jasig.cas.services.RegisteredServiceImpl</class>
    <class>org.jasig.cas.ticket.TicketGrantingTicketImpl</class>
    <class>org.jasig.cas.ticket.ServiceTicketImpl</class>
    <class>org.jasig.cas.ticket.registry.support.JpaLockingStrategy$Lock</class>
    <properties>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
    </properties>
</persistence-unit>

In web.xml instead of:

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:log4j.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

put

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>WEB-INF\classes\log4j.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

Hope this will help & save time to others.
