java.lang.ArrayStoreException: sun.reflect.annotation.TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy

Question

I am trying to deploy my project on JBoss 6.0. I am using Netbeans 7.0.1, Spring 3.0.2 and JSF2.0. The project is running fine in Tomcat. But when I trying to deploy on JBoss, I am getting the following error:

       *** DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR: Name -> Error

         vfs:///C:/jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/default/deploy/WebApplication3.war ->

Can anyone figure this out? Thanks in advance.

Solution

It happened for me when I used Spring Configuration annotation like this:

@Configuration
@Import({ Config.class })
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
{
   ...
}

When I renamed Config.class to CoreConfig.class the error occurred when starting jetty. this happened because the CoreConfig.class was in a different sub module of my maven project, so jetty couldn't see it (as it resolves dependencies through mvn local repository).

After calling 'mvn install' everything was fine again.

So this might not exactly your problem but it might help you. As your problem can be a packaging problem. Some class is not on the classpath maybe.
