Orbeon deployment on JBoss AS 7

We are trying to deploy Orbeon Forms 3.9 on JBoss AS 7 and getting the following errors:

Do you support JBoss AS 7 or anyone tried deploying orbeon on this app server.

I just added xsdlib-20030225.jar to lib directory (It's just one I had to hand ;-O). This is a HACK, I don't know what it affects and don't know if there are any side effects...but it works so far ;-)

This was tested with JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes".

Follow the following steps:

• for Orbeon Forms PE

  • unzip orbeon.war
  • place your license.xml file under WEB-INF/resources/config/license.xml
  • re-zip orbeon.war

• start a standalone server with bin/standalone.sh

• drop orbeon.war into the JBoss standalone/deployments folder

The joy of class loaders. Some code in MSV tries to load com.sun.msv.datatype.xsd.AnyURIType, which shouldn't fail as this class is in WEB-INF/lib/msv-xsdlib-20070407_orbeon_20100309.jar. I suspect that because of the way the class loaders is structured in JBoss, Orbeon ends up using a version of MSV coming from JBoss which is unable to load AnyURIType which is a jar that only comes with Orbeon. But I might be wrong on this.

This type of application-server specific question can be rather time consuming to resolve. So I would recommend you to use Tomcat or to get Orbeon to resolve this for you under a Development Support subscription.
