Using Jacorb 1.4.1 with JBoss 3.2.4
Hello, I hope someone can help me.
Can one use two versions of Jacorb with one JBoss server?
I am trying to deply a EJB using an application that requires Jacorb 1.4.1 with JBoss 3.2.4. It's java api is accessable through a jar file.
This version of JBoss uses a newer version of Jacorb 1.4.1 that is incompatible with this application. Other applications served out by the JBoss server require this version of JBoss.
I found that if I replaced the Jacorb.jar and Jacorb.properties files on my JBoss test box with the version 1.4.1 - the application worked. This solution is not acceptable on the production JBoss server.
The application developers claim that the reverse solution is not possible -- using the newer version of Jacorb with this application. I tried to replace the jacorb files in their jar file and deploy it on JBoss and call it from my EJB. I got an exception:

I find it hard to believe that a library as heavily used as Jacorb would not be backwards compatible.
