Major Description
I have a SAR deployment that works in AS 4.2.3. It no longer deploys in AS 7.1.1.Final. The problem is due to the fact that the java:properties element is no longer supported in AS 7 whereas it was supported in AS 4.2.3.
Here's what my jboss-service.xml looks like that FAILS to parse in AS 7 (this works in AS 4.2.3):
<?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="org.rhq.enterprise.server.core.comm.ServerCommunicationsService"
name="rhq:service=ServerCommunications">
<attribute name="ConfigurationOverrides" serialDataType="jbxb">
<java:properties xmlns:java="urn:jboss:java-properties"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xs:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:java-properties resource:java-properties_1_0.xsd">
<java:property>
<java:key>foo</java:key>
<java:value>bar</java:value>
</java:property>
</java:properties>
</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>
Notice the <attribute> has a child "java:properties" because the MBean uses Properties as the attribute type.
Here's the AS7 error I see in the log when that SAR attempts to be deployed:

If I were to completely remove the <attribute> XML and the child elements, this SAR deploys in AS7 without that error. I can only assume the source of the problem is because <java:properties> type is no longer supported.
I don't know if this means anything but I looked in <as7-install-dir>/docs/schema and I do not see any java-properties_1_0.xsd (this file that is hosted on jboss.org: http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/java-properties_1_0.xsd )
