.war classpath issue in 4.0.3SP1

[just_a_w]

I have a .war file that works fine in 4.0.2. But when I run it in 4.0.3SP1, I get an exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/xpath/DefaultXPath

The dom4j-full.jar is in WEB-INF/lib (and it contains org.dom4j.xpath.DefaultXPath). And it works fine in 4.0.2.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks

I've got the exact same problem.

Did you solve your problem in the mean time? anf if so, how?

Thanks

I had the same problem. SOmehow, I managed to solve it. It's a JBoss issue, concerning de XPath class from dom4j. In jboss >= 4.0.3 there is a custom package of dom4j, which should be replaced by the version which has the XPath class. I have copied the dom4j-1.6.1 and the jaxen jars into the lib folder of jboss and it worked just fine. Strangely enough, I had to copy the 2 jars as dom4j.jar and jaxen.jar (the dom4j-1.6.1.jar name did not work). After that, I kept on aop-ing.

I just did the same thing - copying dom4j-1.6.1.jar and jaxen-all.jar to JBoss-4.0.3SP1 /lib, but it did not work. Has anyone else been able to resolve this issue successfully?

Works for me (I add dom4j and jaxen in /lib and now I have XPATH). Is this in just a WAR or a WAR within an EAR? Regardless, JBoss should check your dom4j in WEB-INF/lib before loading the cached boostrap one in the UCL.
