Separate Deployment

[tlien]

I am using JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1

I want to be able to deploy all my wars and separately for easier maintainability and independance. However I have had Classloader problems with this approach. How do I ensure that the ClassLoader I access my ejbs with from within my war is the same ClassLoader as my deployed ejbs?

Also, I have a bunch of common utility jars I use. Currently I put them in jboss/lib/ext. The problem is that I change them all the time so any time I do I have to restart JBoss. Is there an equivalent way to deploy these in JBoss even though they are not web applications or beans?

Try 3.x

You can hot-deploy nearly anything in the deploy
directory.
And the Unified Classloaders allow access across packages.
Every deployment is a peer of the others, rather
than separate children of a static jboss/lib/ext.
