Invalid Invocation using JBoss 4.0.0

[sgodden]

I have been running my apps in JBoss for a long time, including JBoss 4 release candidates.

Now, using JBoss 4.0.0, two things happened:
1) I got ClassNotFoundExceptions on the interfaces when invoking from a web app deployed in the same EAR as the target EJB module. Never had this before due to the way the classloading worked

2) When I rectify this by placing the interfaces in WEB-INF/lib, I get "Invalid invocation, check your deployment packaging" upon trying to invoke LocalHome.create()

I have no idea how to start looking at this. All of the EJB modules have verified and deployed without any warning messages whatsoever.
And this app has been working in exactly the same form on JBoss 3.2.x and 4.0RCx

Can anyone give me any pointers?

The stacktrace follows:

Use the standard configuration instead of default if you want the previous class loading behavior. As documented in the release notes the default configuration used scoped class loading int the ear deployer and web container.

Thanks - should have read release notes.
