javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError running JBoss AS 7.1 with Java 7 update 171

Question

Upgrading Java from 7u161 to 7u171 prevents JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final from starting. I know JBoss AS 7.1.1 is EOL but for compatibi

Answer 1

Could you try upgrading jboss-modules.jar (found in the root folder of the jboss-as binary distribution) to 1.1.5.GA? The version of jboss-modules which comes with jboss-7.1.1.Final is 1.1.1.GA and it has a few issues with initialisation order and multiple-initialisation which could be causing the issue.

Answer 2

Environment as Follow: Jboss: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final, OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1, and, java: 1.8.0_181.

I have downloaded jboss-modules-1.1.5.GA.jar and replace to jboss-modules.jar at JBOSS_HOME. It worked for me.

Answer 3

Are you sure you are using a jdk 1.7?

This issue can happen when you try to start Jboss with java version > 1.7, try to check your JDK installation folder.

Answer 4

I had same issue on my Production Server

My Environment :-

JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final      
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5     
java: 1.7.0_181  

Even i had jboss-modules.jar which comes by default in JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final ,
So i downloaded jboss-modules-1.1.5.GA.jar , renamed it as jboss-modules.jar
and replaced it with original jboss-modules.jar.
