before run Wildfly i do these commands,

mvn process-classes
mvn activejdbc-instrumentation:instrument
mvn dependency:unpack-dependencies

All of this command return

BUILD SUCCESSFULL

What's the problem? Why with a simple springboot app works and with deploy on Wildfly don't work?

I will be very grateful to those who will help me!

Version technology: ActiveJDBC 2.3, Spring boot 2.2.4.RELEASE, Wildfly 18, Eclipse 2019-09 R (4.13.0)

Answer 1

ipolevoy made me think, I deploy the war file from Eclipse 'server' tab but, the war that takes, isn't exactly compiled and instrumented war file. In fact in the 'target' folder of my web-app there is two war, .war & .war.original, and if i copy the .war file in $WILDFLY_HOME/standalone/deployments (run wildfly in standalone mode) all work without problem!

I don't sure what is the realy problem, i think is Eclipse directives or a Wildfly problem (creed the problem is related to Eclipse).

So i write this Answer for all users who experience this problem.

Answer 2

First, execution of this step: mvn activejdbc-instrumentation:instrument is redundant, since the step mvn process-classes will call instrumentation anyway (see your log).

Second, the exception message is clearly telling you this:

It is expected that you have a file activejdbc_models.properties on classpath

This means that something is wrong with your build process. This file is generated during instrumentation and is placed together with all the class files into the target/classes directory.

Somehow your build process loses this file (and potentially other resources your build generated), so you need to look into that.
