The method unregister(ObjectName) in the type LifecycleMBeanBase is not applicable for the arguments (Request, HttpServletResponse)

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x

Issue

  • We're trying to compile a custom JBossWeb authentication valve for EAP 6, but see the following compile error:

    The method unregister(ObjectName) in the type LifecycleMBeanBase is not applicable for the arguments (Request, HttpServletResponse)

  • Was the AuthenticatorBase.unregister method removed from EAP 6?

Resolution

  • Ensure JBossWeb jars are on your compile classpath instead of Tomcat

Root Cause

  • The AuthenticatorBase.unregister method was not removed from EAP 6's JBossWeb. Note the error indicates a LifecycleMBeanBase.unregister method is found instead, which is only provided in Tomcat and not JBoss. Thus, tomcat jars are likely on the java compile classpath instead of JBossWeb
