Exluding JBoss AS 7.1.1 webservices subsystem - web-services

Question

I'm trying to exclude the webservices subsystem in my jboss AS 7.1.1 by adding a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file, which looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
<exclude-subsystems>
<subsystem name="webservices" />
</exclude-subsystems>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
In Eclipse, I get an error in the aforementioned file which marks "deployment" as an invalid element. If I disregard the error and run my project, I get the following error:
19:40:15,531 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."CXF.war".STRUCTURE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."CXF.war".STRUCTURE: Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment "CXF.war"

Answer 1

Based on the answer from this URL:
How can I use Apache CXF 2.6.7 as dependency of my war project and not CXF that is installed in the modules of JBoss 7.1?
Just a note, exclude-subsystems functionality and
deployment-strucure:1.2 was added in 7.1.2 and as such will not work
on on 7.1.1.
I'm using JBoss AS 7.1.1, so this explains it.

From the following error i can see that the structure of war file deployed is incorrect, so you can change it to a correct format and then try...
19:40:15,531 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."CXF.war".STRUCTURE:
From the following error - urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2 named subsystem is not present(i think it may be - urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.1) and it is also showing the "parser error" so check the xml file also :
Caused by: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[2,1]
Message: Unexpected element '{urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2}jboss-deployment-structure'
A simple war file structure for reference as follows :
Demo.war
|
|---- META-INF
| |----jboss-deployment-structure.xml
| |----MANIFEST.MF
|
|---- WEB-INF
| |---- classes
| |
| |---- lib
| |
| |---- web.xml
|
|---- index.jsp

<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
/web-app_3_0.xsd"
metadata-complete="false">
If you want to migrate from weblogic to JBoss, just change the schema as above.
It will works.
