    Description

      I have a Grails 1.3.7 application running fine on JBoss AS 5.1.0 and JBoss AS 6. However, when I attempted to deploy the same application on AS7 in standalone mode, I got the following error:

      23:46:46,560 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-4) Starting deployment of "example.war"

      Seeing that the deployer was complaining about not being able to see org.xmlpull.mxp1.MXParser and org.xmlpull.mxp1_serializer.MXSerializer, I excluded the xpp3 jar included in the WAR and performed another deployment. Here is the resulting log:

      As seen from the two error logs, a NullPointerException is being thrown by BusinessViewAnnotationProcessor at the same line number (72).

      I have tried excluding other jars, to no avail. I even tried deleting all the jars inside WEB-INF/lib in the hope of getting a different error (and to get a clue as to what's going on), but I still get the same result.
