I have been working on this web application for more than a year and here is the configuration which did not bring any problem until now:
- Java EE application using Spring, EclipseLink and maven for dependencies - PostgreSQL database
- Locally I work in Eclipse where my Glassfish3 server and maven plugin are integrated and I use jdk1.7.0_03
- On my Windows server, Glassfish3 is also installed - also jdk1.7.0_03 and jenkins for dealing with svn and deployment
- Locally and on the distant server, the database is PostgreSQL9.1 and the database has the same name, same URL and same tables and data
- Both glassfishs also have connection pools and JDBC resources set up
Now my problem, which occurs since last month, and I cannot figure out how to solve, is: while my application runs just fine locally (from eclipse or also just manually deployed into glassfish using maven for building the war and glassfish administration interface for the deployment), I get an error when I try to deploy the same war on glassfish on my distant server... Here is the error I get:
[ERROR] com.sun.enterprise.admin.cli.CommandException: remote failure: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'analysisDAO': Injection of persistence dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory': Post-processing of the FactoryBean's object failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.methodSecurityMetadataSourceAdvisor': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.access.method.DelegatingMethodSecurityMetadataSource#0' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.access.method.DelegatingMethodSecurityMetadataSource#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.security.access.prepost.PrePostAnnotationSecurityMetadataSource] while setting constructor argument with key [0]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.security.access.expression.method.ExpressionBasedAnnotationAttributeFactory] while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'expressionHandler' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'expressionHandler' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/security-config.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'projectPermissionEvaluator' while setting bean property 'permissionEvaluator'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'projectPermissionEvaluator': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: public fr.inra.means.services.interfaces.IProjectService fr.inra.means.services.security.ProjectPermissionEvaluator.projectService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'projectService': Injection of resource dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userDao' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 43 in method fr.inra.means.model.application.Projet.equals(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z at offset 4
I first asked this question about it, thinking that I must have had a maven configuration problem or so: java.lang.VerifyError when deploying the new version of my Java EE web application but using the same maven configuration locally works so it must be about glassfish configuration!
I even tried to switch to jdk1.6 (which was a pain because I don't like the idea to change that since I have developed with jdk1.7 for a year now)... It solved the deployment problem (the verifyError) but, same way, while it was working perfectly fine locally, when I ran the application on the server, a function crashed when it reached this line "CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();"... (and no Exception could be found in my logs...)
Do you have any idea about what could cause this difference of behaviour between the 2 glassfish servers? What is the configuration difference between my 2 glassfish servers which would explain this error?
I'm running out of ideas (and hope) so any help would be great!
