JBoss throws ClassCastException: org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.java.JavaXProperty cannot be cast to org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.XProperty

Hi there! I’m trying to use your types but when I build it I get this exception:

Not sure it’s a bug on your lib or something I’m missing, any help? Thanks

@vladmihalcea @TMSantos @oisti @cec Okay I solved it.

1. For hibernate-commons-annotations dependency, use provided scope if you are using Maven, or compileOnly configuration if you are using Gradle. You can also just remove that dependency declaration altogether, because you probably don’t need it for compilation. Example for Maven:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate.common</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>5.0.5.Final</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

1. Explicitly add org.hibernate.commons-annotations module to Dependencies in your MANIFEST.MF:

Dependencies: org.hibernate.commons-annotations

You can make Maven add that for you, for example using the maven-ejb-plugin if you use ejb packaging:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifestEntries>
                            <Dependencies>
                                org.hibernate.commons-annotations
                            </Dependencies>
                        </manifestEntries>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

For some reason org.hibernate.commons-annotations behaves like a “private” jboss module, requiring an explicit module dependency to it, although its module.xml does not set jboss.api property to private.

Fyi, this is the solution that I found to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52290683/hibernate-types-and-jboss-compatibility-issue
