Problem deployment .. ClassCastException

[samfra]

Hello I am trying to deploy this :

Players.sar
Teams.sar (that would like to call Players and use Player class)
utils.jar

------------------------------------
What do I have to do so that I can redeploy Players without redeploying other classes ?
1. A PlayerInterface that I add to Teams.sar too ?
2. Nothing.. just redeploy Players.sar

I am trying the second... and it always fails ;o(
because JBoss tries too load Teams first .. and it fails because Team use the Player class that is not yet known... ;o(

If I start with Players and then deploy Teams.sar.. all is fine !

There is no change adding the attribute too jboss-service of Teams so that it starts after the first.. there is still the classcastexception....

any idea ??
Jboss 3.2.4 ... JDK 1.4.2

It helped me partially...

In fact, you can not do interfaces everytime for all classes...
I took the example of Team and Player.. but in fact, I need to deploy Hibernate and all my hibernate objects... and then I have to deploy my mbeans that accesses to hib-objects.

But I've found the following solution :

1- myutils.jar

2- hibernat2.jar

3-Hibernate.sar
|-- hibernat2 needed jars
|-- jboss-service.xml with classpath to HibernateObjects.jar

4- HibernateObjects.jar

5- MyMbean.sar
|- all my classes
|- jboss-service.xml with classpath to HibernateObjects.jar + hibernat2.jar

6- AnOtherMBean.sar
|- it needs to access to classes from MyMbean.sar .. I think I will have to make myMbean.JAR and store it externally to MyMbean.sar

I'm doing test, if I redeploy a jar, it should be ok for .sar that uses it !

You can just specify linear dependency in your sars.
