wildfly 8 + jersey war file deployment issues

Question

I'm having an issue that I can't seem to figure out. I can't seem to deploy the application successfully to wildfly, and it's not giving me much detail to try and rectify the issue. Here is the deployment error from wildfly console:

Answer 1

From what I've found, Jersey is no longer a viable option for use with Wildfly. I had all sorts of hassles trying to get a Jersey App deployed to Wildfly 8.2.0. The Imixs Workflow project explain how they migrated their app from Glassfish to Wildfly and had to reconfigure their web.xml for deployment using RestEasy (being a rest app).

In essence:

Using RestServices makes it necessary to change things in the web.xml file because Jersey (used by GlassFish) and RestEasy (used by Wildfly) have different configurations.

This worked for my Rest App; and it was finally able to deploy.
