Openshift - deploying simple Java EE app on Wildfly fails - postgresql

Question

I'm trying to deploy a very simple application on Openshift. It's an EAR project with a single WAR and EJB module. Inside the WAR there's a REST service that calls an EJB defined in EJB module. Locally and on Openshift I'm using Wildfly 9.0.0 CR2 and PostgreSQL 9.2. When deploying locally everything works fine. When the same code is deployed on Openshift I'm getting following errors in logs:

The address mentioned - 127.12.77.1 is $OPENSHIFT_WILDFLY_IP.
I have no idea what is causing this issue. First I thought it's a database connectivity issue because it happens when 2nd phase of starting persistence unit happens. I connected to DB on Openshift and saw that it was created successfully so maybe that's not it, but here's the persistence.xml I'm using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="cookingPU">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/PostgreSQLDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL9Dialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
The datasource used is the default one. I didn't change anything in standalone.xml.
Another thing I noticed is that the deploy problem happens when I add any EJB to the project.
This is a simple one I tried to use:
#Stateless
public class AnyEjb {
public String hello() {
return "Hi there!";
}
}
This is defined in EJB module. Then in web module I have this class calling it:
#Path("anything")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class AnyEndpoint {
#EJB
private AnyEjb anyEjb;
#GET
public String sayHi() {
return anyEjb.hello();
}
}
I'm not sure if and how it can be connected with this BindException.
I've tried running this application locally with both standalone and standalone-full-ha profile and it works in both cases. I just feel it has to be some issue with Openshift configuration but I have no idea where to look anymore. I'm very new to Openshift and Java EE. Please point me in a right direction. Any help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Might be https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1928. Talk to Rado Husar to see how to resolve this.

Answer 2

It looks like the problem is (as #Bela Ban suggested) connected with the version of JGroups shipped with WildFly 9.0.0CR2. I will be waiting for the fix coming with the Final version of WildFly.
Meanwhile as a workaround to be able to deploy an application on WildFly 9.0.0CR2 on Openshift, I decided to disable clustering capabilities for my server.
In standalone.xml available in .openshift I have removed org.jboss.as.clustering.jgroups module and changed infinispan cache settings from distributed to local.
I have been basing on this solution (for WildFly 8): https://gist.github.com/fjuma/3df7f64fbaebd5506ef5#file-standalone-xml
But I had to modify it so that it works on Wildfly 9. Full standalone.xml that's been working for me is available here for reference http://pastebin.com/aANkPUWk
