WildFly 9 Failed to parse service xml - jboss

Question

jboss-service.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server xmlns="urn:jboss:service:7.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:service:7.0 jboss-service_7_0.xsd">
<mbean name="com.xxx.yyy:service=SomeClass"
code="com.xxx.yyy.SomeClassBean" xmbean-dd="META-INF/config-mbeans.xml" />
</server>
I have jboss-service.xml above and I'm getting this error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Current state START_ELEMENT is not among the statesCHARACTERS, COMMENT, CDATA, SPACE, ENTITY_REFERENCE, DTD valid for getText()

Any idea how to fix this? Tried other suggestions, but nothing seems to work.

According to the section 9.6.2 of the JBossAS docs, you need to define your mbean like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server xmlns="urn:jboss:service:7.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:service:7.0 jboss-service_7_0.xsd">
<mbean code="..." name="...">
</mbean>
</server>
EDIT
After looking at the source code of JBossServiceXmlDescriptorParser.java:221, one understands that the element xmbean-dd is no longer expected on Wildfly 9. Only NAMEand CODE are expected.
Remove that element from your mbean tag and it will work.
