jboss.conf problem

[ggreaves]

We have have some jars that (for reasons I won't explain here) need to be bound to the log4j MLET when JBoss starts. This keeps everything in the same classloader.

My question is this:

Is there a way to set which order the jars in the "ARCHIVE" section get put on the server's classpath? It seems that they're going in some random order.

For example:




The classpath entries for the two jars I'm interested in:
dxejb.jar
DXEjbOverride.jar

Changing their order in the ARCHIVE list has no effect. Can anyone suggest how I can achieve this?

Thanks,
Greg

I guess the jars are stored in a HashSet or HashTable
somewhere in Sun's code. You might try changing
the names to get different hashcode values until you
get the order you want.

Another (more deterministic) alternative is to repackage
the jars into one jar.

Ah, JMX thing. Thanks.
