Is using CDI to inject and manage the creation of TransportClient instances supported in 5.3? In 5.2.2 I was able to use a CDI producer method to @Inject a PreBuiltTransportClient instance with no issues. As of 5.3 this blows up with: > Caused by: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError > at org.elasticsearch.common.logging.DeprecationLogger.(DeprecationLogger.java:138) > at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.support.AbstractXContentParser.(AbstractXContentParser.java:57) > at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContentParser.(JsonXContentParser.java:44) > at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContent.createParser(JsonXContent.java:103) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Setting.parseableStringToList(Setting.java:832) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Setting.lambda$listSetting$27(Setting.java:786) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Setting$$Lambda$168/105203394.apply(Unknown Source) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Setting.listSetting(Setting.java:791) > at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Setting.listSetting(Setting.java:786) > at org.elasticsearch.common.network.NetworkService.(NetworkService.java:50) > at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.newPluginService(TransportClient.java:98) > at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.buildTemplate(TransportClient.java:126) > at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.(TransportClient.java:268) > at org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:125) > at org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:111) > at org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:101) > at com.pixelslanger.px.strains.search.elasticsearch.TransportClientFactory.getTransportClient(TransportClientFactory.java:43) > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.elasticsearch.Build.(Build.java:49) > ... 99 more ---

Also, as I said on the other issue, and I'll say the same to you: I'm really sorry that you ran into this issue. ---

Have you repackaged the transport client jar? It looks here like the manifest is missing? ---

No I didn't do any repackaging of any JARs I simply upgraded from 5.2.2 to 5.3.0 via Maven. I just double checked and the manifest file is present in the 5.3.0 JAR. ---

Okay, so I think is indeed a case of how Wildfly handles class loading. Thanks for confirming. ---

This will be fixed in Elasticsearch 5.3.1. ---

We added tests for this in [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/24147](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/24147) so hopefully we never break it again. ---
