hello,
problem solved..
i found a post somewhere that was saying that jboss 4.0 upwards is giving problems when, while deploying an ear, you have ejb classes also in your war application..
that was my stupid way of packaging things, sorry...
now that ihave removed ejb related classes from war\lib directory everything works fine

regards
marco
