WildFly ClassNotFoundException Hibernate, load built-in Hibernate library in WildFly 14 without manifest file?

Question

I have set up a Java web application that uses JPA. My container is WildFly 14. I'm using Maven.

If I deploy my WAR without manifest file containing dependency for org.hibernate, the container displays ClassNotFoundException for Hibernate-related classes.

My question, is this the normal behavior of WildFly deployment? I'm aiming for portable war file, so what would happen if I bring the same war to another Java EE container whose JPA implementation isn't hibernate?

postgresql setup in WildFly enter image description here

Also tested against built-in ExampleDS, still the same.

WAR sample in Google Drive

A bit of information gathering:

I think WildFly here indeed load the Java EE 8 API and its underlying implementation automatically. But, for others, we should activate it explicitly, using manifest file or jboss-deployment-structure.xml. Ref here.

However, org.hibernate should automatically be loaded.

Probably have a pom.xml that is hibernate specific or something. You should be using the Java EE API specification, there should be no general reason to have org.hibernate in the manifest. I know if you can make a purely generic .war EE application but maybe to some extent. — K.Nicholas, Oct 31 '18 at 16:54
@K.Nicholas I added `pom.xml` for the project. I'm still getting this: `Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.proxy.HibernateProxy from [Module "deployment.WebPortal.war" from Service Module Loader]` — Ferdi, Nov 01 '18 at 02:24

K.Nicholas · Answer 1 · 2018-11-01T05:37:25.380

Like I said, you should just be using the Java EE API dependency in your pom. Wildfly seems to come with a built in ExampleDS but I don't think that's portable, but you can update the persistence.xml to suit your needs. This gets me started:

Hi, i've adopted your pom.xml, but the issue still persists. This is my testing WAR [in Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pymB588suRC5dUYQeiG0jyXDKm3_EUxU/view?usp=sharing), but it will need a `java:/PostgresDS` in `persistence.xml`. Could you maybe inspect this file if there's something wrong with the way I package stuff? — Ferdi, Nov 01 '18 at 04:19
Did you add a postgres module to wildfly? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31222860/how-to-add-postgresql-datasource-to-wildfly-9-0 — K.Nicholas, Nov 01 '18 at 04:58
I added it as a deployment jar. After that, I set up data source from admin console. — Ferdi, Nov 01 '18 at 05:30
well I don't know what that means. I worked with Wildfly.11. You'll need to step back and start with the basics and add in things until you know what's going on. I added persistence.xml for the ExampleDS using hsqldb. — K.Nicholas, Nov 01 '18 at 05:38
That's the recommended way to deploy database in WildFly 14 (that I've read). I've switched to the ExampleDS and the error still persists. — Ferdi, Nov 01 '18 at 06:13

I looked at your WAR and noticed that the location of your persistence.xml is META-INF/persistence.xml this should be WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml

Have a look at Wildfly Quickstart Hibernate.

For further reading:

Oracle Tutorial

Wildfly JPA Reference Guide:

During application deployment, JPA use is detected (e.g. persistence.xml or @PersistenceContext/Unit annotations) and injects Hibernate dependencies into the application deployment.

I don't know why I chose that location for my `persistence.xml`. Now it loads okay, thank you. – Ferdi Nov 01 '18 at 07:39

WildFly ClassNotFoundException Hibernate, load built-in Hibernate library in WildFly 14 without manifest file?
