Issue
If you have manually configured the JBoss4.2.x application server and installed LiveCycle ES, you may receive the following exception when starting JBoss:
13:36:29,277 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/, warUrl=.../deploy/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war/ 13:36:29,793 ERROR [[/]] Error configuring application listener of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1358) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1204) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3797) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4359) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:761) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:741) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:553) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
Reason
During the manual configuration of JBoss 4.2.x the documentation from prepareinstallsingle.pdf advises you to disable the JSF libraries contained in [appserver root]/server/all/deploy/jboss-web.deployer. You must disable the JSF libraries, and also remove the related entries from the web.xml, otherwise the above excpetion will occur when starting JBoss.
Solution
Comment out or remove the following entries from [appserver root]/server/<config-name>/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/conf/web.xml:
<!-- Comment/Remove this --> <!-- Configures JSF for a web application if thejavax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet is declared --> <!-- in web.xml.--> <!-- <listener> <listener-class>org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener</listener-class> </listener> --> <!-- Comment/Remove this --> <!-- Listens to all web app lifecycle events so that @PreDestroy can becalled on --> <!-- JSF managed beans that go out of scope. You can comment this out if you--> <!-- don't use JSF or you don't use annotations on your managed beans.--> <!-- <listener> <listener-class>com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener</listenerclass> </listener> --> <!-- <init-param> <description>JSF standard tlds</description> <param-name>tagLibJar0</param-name> <param-value>jsf-libs/jsf-impl.jar</param-value> </init-param> -->
