JBoss 3.2.5 - Exception deploying Web module (working on 3.2

[cdmein]

All

We have an EAR (containing an EJB module and a Web module) that deploys on JBoss 3.2.3.

When I try and deploy the same file on JBoss 3.2.5 I get the following exception:

13:28:21,674 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [3.2.5 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_3_2_5 date=200406251954)]
13:28:21,674 INFO [Tomcat5] Saw org.jboss.system.server.started notification, starting connectors
13:28:21,783 INFO [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-0.0.0.0-8080
13:28:21,830 WARN [MapperListener] Error registering contexts
ReflectionException: Cannot find method findMappingObject with this signature
Cause: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.apache.commons.modeler.BaseModelMBean.findMappingObject()
at org.apache.commons.modeler.BaseModelMBean.invoke(BaseModelMBean.java:490)

It appears that JBoss 3.2.5 uses Tomcat 5.0.26 (which never got out of beta?). Anyway when I looked at the source for the MapperListener class I found the following line:

Object context =
mBeanServer.invoke(objectName, "findMappingObject", null, null);

If however you check the org.apache.commons.modeler.BaseModelMBean code this method isn not declared.

My question is whether this is a known bug, whether there is a work around or whether I should deploy the next JBoss release (and when that might come).

Thanks (great product too!)

Just wondering whether you were able to find a solution to this very frustrating problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this will be any help to anyone but...

The problem occurs when using the commons-logging.jar package inside a web application deployed on JBoss 3.2.5 (or higher).

The latest JBoss uses Tomcat 5.X and evidently there is a class loading issue with this (there are other posts with the details). So basically just remove the commons logging jar file from the deployed package and things will work.
