Application fails to deploy with ClassNotFoundException when using custom runtime-name and no extension in JBoss EAP 6 / 7

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Application fails to deploy with ClassNotFoundException when using custom runtime-name and no extension in JBoss EAP 6 / 7
  • Our application was deploying successfully when it was deployed in the deployments directory, but it is failing to deploy when we deploy using the CLI or Management console with a custom runtime-name to remove the version number such as:
deploy reproducer-1.0.0.war --runtime-name=reproducer

And it is failing to start with ClassNotFoundException for classes which exist in the application's WEB-INF/classes directory:
