jboss7.x - Jboss AS7 Deployment warning : does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference

Question

Im getting the below warning when deploy the .war in the jboss AS7. Any idea?

(MSC service thread 1-4) Class Path entry commons-beanutils.jar in "/content/test-1.0.0.war/WEB-INF/lib/struts-1.2.9.jar" does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference.

PS. commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar is already in the lib folder.

Answer 1

This is just a warning that you can in most cases safely ignore.

What it tells you is that in your struts-1.2.9.jar has in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in Class-Path reference to "commons-beanutils.jar" and that this file/jar cannot be referenced. But given that you have commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar there everything will work fine.

To get rid of the warning you can do two things:

• rename commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar to commons-beanutils.jar or
• open struts-1.2.9.jar!META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and remove that Class-Path element.

But as I said this is mostly informative warning.
